What we did today

·        Everyone practiced note-taking for Pathways pages 9 to 20 - Outlining, 20 to 30 -  Mapping, and 31 to 36 - Cornell.

·        We practiced 20 words from our Canspell booklet.

·        Ms. Lees showed us a video about Cornell note-taking and other note taking information videos.

·        Some people did their portfolio interviews.

Why we did this

·        We practiced note-taking for Pathways because we needed to learn new ways to take notes and we also needed to get used to note taking for the future.

·        We practised Canspell because we have the class spelling bee in one and a half weeks and we have only practised once.

·        Ms. Lees showed us a video about Cornell note-taking because most of us didn’t know how to use Cornell note-taking.

·        Cornell note-taking will be useful for almost every subject and it might help for future business.
