On Wednesday, while the 8th graders were off at camp, the 7th graders learned all about taking good notes. As we now know, this can be a daunting task for new students but one that we will practice a lot in the next few months and throughout the year.
The assignment, Due Monday, is our first step in taking notes and learning which style works best for you. All of you took notes on the instructions. However, I am leaving them here as well, in case you need them.
Instructions
1. Read and take notes on the National Geographic article of your choice.
2. You do not need to read the entire article (although you can) but should read at least 3-4 pages in order to get a good idea of what the article is about.
3. Pull out and take notes on the main ideas and important details, as we learned.
4. You should have about a full page of notes when finished.
5. Due Monday.
