In both IB Spanish and Journalism, you will be required to take notes. Follow this guide for note-taking in both classes. During periodic notebook checks, I will be looking for the following:
1. Notebook/Binder Cover:
- Student Name
- Class Name
- Class Period
2. Note Page Format:
- Title at the top
- Date in the upper right corner
- Page number in the bottom right corner
3. Note-Taking Tips:
- Use headings and subheadings
- Write legibly
- Use abbreviations for common words
- Leave space for later additions
- Highlight key points
- Use bullet points or numbered lists for clarity
- Include relevant diagrams or sketches
- Use dividers or separate notebooks for different classe
4. After Class:
- Review notes within 24 hours
- Summarize main points
- Add any missing information
