Note-making

Activity 3.1: Opener

1. What are the qualities of good note-making? Good notes follow your text while still being in your own words and are simple and concise and in the left column doing CCQ's to show your understanding of what was read. Then depending on the teacher you will put a summary at the bottom about the Main Idea in the text you read.

2. Why do you think good note-making is widely considered a standard for success in AP classes? It's a standard because of the sheer amount of reading you will do nightly so being able to take notes well is important.
