Great to meet you all today. Looking forward to seeing a variety of notetaking methods when you submit the notes on pages 2 - 9 to begin our discussion of The Middle Ages.
Choose the details sparingly so that only the facts / examples which you deem important are put into your chart/web/Cornell notes/ etc.
After each point, add an opinion or a connection to something you have read. You may also wish to predict how the historical, social, political or cultural implications will affect/impact the style and themes of the writing. Don't be afraid to be "wrong" here. Predicting while notetaking keeps you involved with the text and will help you make more connections when we read the literature.
These notes will be shared for peer and formative assessments. This exercise is your chance to proclaim an effective method of reading and responding to text.
See you on Monday.
