Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Note taking skills are so important during a lesson. Although the concept appears relatively simple, many learners can feel overwhelmed by the amount of information in a lesson and do not take notes appropriately, leaving them without clear study notes or action points.

🗒️ WEEKLY 📝 
In this weekly we will cover key methods for note taking. The class will also look at different methods of note taking so students can understand how they retain information best.

We will review mock material in class, and students will practice using the strategies discussed to take effective notes. We will also review and compare the notes at the end of class to discuss what worked and what can be improved upon 

The class is taught at a relaxed paced and encourages interaction from learners so we can look at what techniques work or does not work for them.


 📝 Topics we will cover include 
- Note taking preparation
- Note taking during a lesson
- Reviewing your notes
- shorthand 
- How to use your notes to develop your learning
