The Notebook Camp: Cómo tomar notas que puedas usar en la escuela secundaria

Welcome! In this 4 day course, we will cover everything learners need to know in order take amazing notes and how to use those notes later.
This class is great for those just starting on their note taking journey and those who need help with organizing and using the notes they already take.
Learners will need a notebook, black pen or regular pencil, and 5 different colors of highlighters. 

Each day will focus on a specific aspect of note taking with examples and an opportunity to practice.

Day One: We will cover a variety of formats for different subjects and students will get an opportunity to choose a format that they like and practice taking notes on a given topic. Students will be given a focus question to consider for the following class.

Day Two: We will cover how to create and use diagrams and visuals in our notes. Students will be given an opportunity to create a diagram using information given. Students will then choose a topic to create a diagram on to present in the following class.

Day Three: We will focus on what to take notes on and how to employ easy shorthand into your notes to write more efficiently. Students will get an opportunity to practice what works for them on a given topic. Students will be given a page of information in order to practice identifying the important information. 

Day Four: Today students will learn the art of highlights and rewrites in order to use their notes to study. We will create a system that they will be able to use in any class. Students will practice both of these skills using the  notes we have taken in the previous classes.
