NOTE TAKING STRATEGIES

In Mr. Garcia’s class, we take notes almost every day for quizzes. I apply the underline note strategy and took note on them. I first read the articles and underlined the most important information such as dates, places, and names.

Underlining what I read helped me to study better and be prepared for the quiz the next day. I looked at what I underlined to revise my work and to study over and over.

Some of the examples are taking notes, mapping ideas, underlining notes, visual note taking, and outlining the tips and points.

Underlining note taking and visual note strategies have helped me to improve my reading and my study strategy. I now know how to be prepared for the quiz.

Last night I did some visual note taking and studying, while taking notes of the main ideas like tips. I think it worked well. I studied well for it and memorized my work. I applied visual strategies while writing my exam and it helped me to think hard about the answer. what didn’t work for me was studying all the time. I cant study everyday for a exam, I always study the night before the exams, because it helps me to remember what I studied last night. I would like to keep the tips, visual, underline and note taking strategies, because it has helped me to improve my studying skills. I am now used to this strategy.

My strategies

  1. The strategies I used as’; I read Dr. Garcia is that I took notes of the story. I first read every sentence in the paragraph and underlined important details with a highlighter. I sometimes don’t read throughout the paragraphs. I only search for the main important sentences.
  2. what worked for was the underlined main points of the stories and writing it down on my book. I took notes which helped me to study for the quiz. I sometimes get tired of reading so I search for the story on google. what doesn’t work for me is when I don’t take notes and just study with my eyes.
  3. The strategies I will keep on using is taking notes and reading the whole story to understand better. I will also study and go over my notes instead of just reading with my eyes.  I will ask questions if I don’t understand what I am reading. I will start doing more reach on the information. I will practice the notes daily.
  4. The only way I can make this a habit is from reading books or anything more often. I will first work on improving my reading and then I will take notes on what I read. I will use a highlighter or a pencil to underline.

I started note taking, which I don’t do often. It has boosted my learning ability.  I will used it more when I am studying and note taking.
