While I was looking through the book at ALL the different strategies,
I tried to consider ALL of the different assignments I have next week. I saw that I have a Hebrew midterm on Thursday and I needed to take notes in class that were going to help me study. I also saw that I have a presentation to do for my Writing class. I needed to take notes on reading and teach a class with a group of people.
I decided to try the T-NOTES strategy. In this strategy, I separated a piece of paper into two columns. One column titled formulas and one titled solutions. I then wrote notes next to the important words and starred them so that I know exactly where to look for important things when I go to study!
I tried the strategy for hebrew first. I wrote down different words I need to know under formulas and then under the solutions I wrote the words in plural. I need to know how to change a word to its plural for the test so this is an easy way for me to review.
I liked this strategy for hebrew because I am a visual learner and was able to see the word in singular and the word in plural next to each other. I was able to cover the formulas and test myself with the solutions and cover the solutions and test myself with the formulas. In addition, the stars helped me know exactly where to look for the words I needed to study the most.
I then tried the same strategy for my writing class. For my writing class, I don't have a test. Instead I have a presentation so I went about using the strategy in a different way. I used the strategy as under formulas what questions I can present or ask the class. And under solutions I wrote the answers or information I want to share with class from the reading. I also wrote different ideas under formulas that I want to share with the class. I found using T-NOTES very helpful because I will be able to see everything in front of me when I am presenting to the class.
I liked this strategy so much that I tried to do it for my math class. I decided to separate the material with lines in between so that I could read everything easier!
I decided that next time I do this strategy I'm going to use different colors so that words stand out to me! I know that each time I do it I am going to add changes to make it work better for me. I will definitely use this strategy again!
Great idea to look at what was most important to do this week's tech. T-notes seem to work really well, and interestingly enough for not only three different classes, but also multiple different types of assignments. I may give this a try
ReplyDeleteI think that this was the best strategy you could have chose for this task. Considering that it is very definition based, this worked out perfectly.
