For review

Once you’ve done all of the above, you’ll find you’ve created your own personalized study guide. Cover the main section of the page and use the key words and questions in the left margin as a quiz.

Stick to it

Review your notes the day you take them and all your notes once a week. That way, you won’t need to study as much when it’s test time.

You’ve been doing the work all along.

Tryout the Cornell System, but if it doesn’t work for you, experiment with other methods. Ask your classmates how they take notes or ask a teacher for advice. Taking good notes requires practice, like any other skill. And the more you work at it now, the more prepared you’ll be to take notes in college.

Summary:

 A teenage boy names Tony Farmer kidnapped his girlfriend and robbed. He was an athletically gifted teen who was one of the highest-recruited high school basketball players in Ohio. While he was in the court room getting sentenced to prison he collapsed. He was sentenced to almost 5 years in prison for kidnapping and robbery. Tony Farmer clearly chose the wrong, and not even his start potential could save him.

Reflection:

 Tony Farmer chose the wrong and had to face his consequences. Kidnapping and robbery are severe crimes and he was sentenced to prison. This shows how choosing the wrong can put you in serious problem. You will never get away with committing crime, and Tony Farmer is a perfect example. He chose the wrong and he couldn’t even handle facing his consequences. He collapsed even before the judge was done talking and sentencing him. Choose the right and don’t get into problems.

After Class

As soon as class ends, review your notes and fill in any blanks. Underline, highlight and use symbols to sort through the information. If you don’t understand something, get help from your teacher or classmates. After you’ve reviewed all your notes from class, in the left-hand area of the page write down key words and questions your teacher might ask on a test. At the bottom of each page, write a summary of the notes. This helps you digest what you’ve learned. It also improves your memory of the material for the long term and for test down the road.

Students Success Statement

“He listens well who takes notes.”

-Dante Alighieri

Reflection: This statement is very true. Note taking is a very important part in learning and refreshing your memory with things you have learned. Those who take notes have excellent hearing skill and listens to what is right. For example, I had a trig test a Wednesday and I had forgotten many little things, but luckily I had my notes and they were a big help refreshing my memory. If I hadn’t studied my notes or have any notes I would have failed but I was really fortunate to have my notes. Taking Notes is really important. Choose the right and take notes!!!!

During Class

One approach that has been proven effective is called the Cornell Note-Taking System. Here are some of its methods. Start by using the main section of your page to take down your notes during class. Be sure to leave space on the left side of the page and the bottom. Things to keep in mind:

1.   Get the speaker’s main points. Don’t write down every word you hear.

2.   Leave blanks in your notes to add explanations later.

3.   Organize as you write. Pay attention to cues such as repetition and emphasis

4.   Indicate main and supporting points as you go.

5.   Jot down key vocabulary, important facts and formulas.

6.   Ask questions. If you’re confused, it’s better to ask while the material is fresh in your mind.

JJJJMy Best friendsJJJJ

My best friends are the best and they are super cool. Lately I haven’t seen them and I’ve been pretty sad. One of my best friends Evelyn moved to a different school outside of town and it really affected me and my best friends Rafaela and Jaque. We are super close and are always there for each other when we are in need. We go out, have fun, talk, and help each other out. The bond I have created with my best friends is unbreakable and not even distance or school segregations can break us apart. Two of my best friends go to SSJ so I see them rarely and my other best friend Evelyn moved to Santa Fe springs high school. It’s really weird not seeing them for a long time because I am so used to seeing them.  Although we don’t see each other much we still keep in contact. I’ve really been missing them but I can’t wait for Friday to go out and have fun all together.

Student Success Statement

“When you believe you can – you can.”

                              -Dr. Maxwell Maltz

Reflection: Dr. Maxwell Maltz is absolutely correct. If you believe in yourself you can accomplish anything in the world. Don’t set yourself back, just believe in yourself and success will come your way. If you believe in yourself you can accomplish your goals and be successful in life. If you don’t believe yourself, then you won’t accomplish anything. It all begins with you, and if you believe you can, you will succeed and accomplish anything you want to accomplish. Choose the right and believe in yourself!!!
