Today in Humanities, students brought in the notes they took last night from their source. Students visited "the museum of notes" to observe each other's notetaking styles. We noticed that some students wrote their notes in bullet points, while others wrote in paragraph form and others used webbing. We discussed the fact that there are several acceptable styles of taking notes and that some students are more comfortable with some styles than others. Miss Devine went over 5 main notetaking styles- notecards, the Cornell method, the Cambridge method, webbing and outlining. Students' homework this weekend is to take the notes that they have already taken and rewrite them in using the notetaking method of their choice.
Mrs. Cassaro then taught an election-related lesson where students discussed the electoral college and how it works. Then, they evaluated the election results of previous elections using electoral college data. They used this data to make predictions and share ideas about the current election.
HOMEWORK: Students should continue to collect sources for their topic and they should rewrite the notes that they've already taken in one of the 5 forms that Miss D presented in class. Bring sources and rewritten notes on Monday.
