Grab a book as you enter the

class!
Or make sure you have a book around

you

Agenda for today

Crash Course
NOTES - Chapter 16 Section 2

Where I struggle with

notes
when note-making
in lectures:

but while notemaking from reading:

you cant pause the

lecturer; rewind; then
replay; to go over
something you havent
understood

you can easily stop and

read something again if you
need to

if you are reminded of some

information you want to
look up, you have to make a
note and remember to
follow it up later

if you are reminded of some

information you want to
look up, you may be able to
do it straightaway

You cant slow down the

lecturer if you fall behind
with your note-making

you can read and make

notes at the best pace for
you, to make sure your
notes are complete

NOTES!

Take out your note packet from yesterday

DO IT YOURSELF notes
Think of your book as a bunch of questions and
answers (just like tests, essay questions and life)
How I want you to organize your notes
You will be turning (or I have already done this) headings into

the form of questions.

Main headings are answered after you have read the entire
heading, subheadings are answered using bullet-points and in their
paragraph or two

As you read through Section 2, answer the subheading

questions in the space(s) provided for you paraphrasing the

text into your own words
After you finish a selection write a paragraph answer to
main heading questions.

Note Taking Tips

Ask yourself these
questions
Do you really need this
information? If so, which bits?
Will you really use it? When,
and how?
Have you noted similar
information already?
Whatquestionsdo you want to
answer with this information?

Being too brief

To avoid making
masses of notes that
you may not actually
use, you decide to
write down the
minimum

The risk
You fail to record
crucial material, and
have to go back to
the source and read it
again

Being too
comprehensive
To make sure you
dont miss anything
important, you decide
to write down every
piece of information
that may possibly be
relevant

The risk
Your reading takes far
too long; you end up
with masses of notes;
you still cant decide
which are the most
relevant; and you run
out of time to do your
writing

Main Idea: Using the sudden mass attack called blitzkrieg; Germany
invades and quickly conquers many European countries.
