Learning Log

Summary

  Today during class we picked ourselves our own partner and pulled out our notes from chapter 1 in the Pathways textbook that we wrote down a few weeks back. Ms. Lees handed out an assessment  sheet for us took look over all out notes with and mark them based on the assessment sheet, you and your partner both marked one of the two of yours and your partners notes at a time. After we finished with the assessment sheet we wrote a reflection about the notes we took on chapter 1 in the Pathways textbook. The questions for our reflection were 1. What did you do well? Give examples and 2. What could you improve on? Give examples. That’s a summary of today’s class.

Learning Intentions                                     

 Our learning intentions in class today were to learn how to have good note taking skills. We went into partners so you can get someone else’s opinion on your work because of course you think your own work is perfect like mine. We also learned maybe some new strategy’s from the way your partner is taking notes. I think the most important thing we learned today was how to improve our note taking skills for next time and to learn what makes excellent notes and okay notes.

Connections

Learning how to create good notes could help you in many ways. For example, if you have a test coming up and you need to study for it you could take notes to use for studying. Or, if your teacher asks you to take notes for a project you will need to know how to take good notes. There are so many different things you could use notes for! Note taking is a great skill to have.

Homework

We had no homework assigned today either than finish your reflection about your notes from chapter 1. Some old homework is to keep track of your genius hour timeline because we are running out of time and to finish reading your novel by tomorrow.

Tips

To help you with your homework just remember when you’re marking your notes to mark them with your partner on one paper at the same time. Also, don’t be doing all of your genius hour project at school do some work at home!
