Note-Making+Instructions+and+Example

Instructions for Note-Making
 * Reading and making content-response notes in AP classes.
 * How to Independently Read and Make notes Effectively in AP classes.
 * Keep in mind what you learned about the reading from the pre-reading strategies you’ve used previously in this session
 * Begin reading in sections - find natural chunks in reading to help organize your thoughts - DO NOT WRITE DOWN ANY NOTES YET
 * Once you’ve read through the first chunk think  about what the most important pieces of information were that you read. Notice that before you write you think
 * Paraphrase in the content (right side) column one or two of the most important pieces of information from the entire chunk

 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If you run into terms or phrases that are foreign to you, mark them down in the response column as you read, and before you paraphrase make sure you do some work to figure out not only what they mean, but also how they fit into your reading.

 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Unlike honors and college prep level classes you shouldn’t worry necessarily about packing your response column with lots of responses (particularly lots of questions). Instead focus on making high quality CONNECTIONS which will help you better understand how this piece of reading fits in with the bigger picture of what you are learning.

Now you need to effectively summarize all of that information. For a good refresher on the best way to summarize, look at the following website, focusing particularly on points 4-6, with you paraphrasing taking the place of part 3. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000099; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">[]

 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Leaders can’t lead by simply their abilities, they need to actively show HOW they meet these traits to those they’re leading - important to illustrate how students can be leaders - they need to show leadership, not just a lack of non-leadership

How does our honesty in school make us better leaders? Are we any good at admitting our own mistakes? || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Chunk 1: Five Traits of Leadership <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">MI There are five leadership traits which all leaders must exhibit to those they lead as an example <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">++ The five most important leadership traits according to the author are: Honesty, Looking Towards the Future, Showing Competency, Being Inspirational, Exhibiting Intelligence <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">++ Important to show others you have these traits, not just show that you DON’T have the opposite effect
