Today in class we took notes on note taking. The first this Mr. Schick talked about was you don’t need to have complete sentences and you can abbreviate words instead of spelling the whole word out. Also, you should not worry and spelling as long as you know what the word is your fine. Taking notes is not easy, you have to write quickly and be able to keep you even after the teacher has changed subjects. Plus you need to make sense, there are a million different ways to take notes, just do what’s easiest for you. It takes skill to take notes. Then we were done taking notes on taking notes Mr. Schick tested our skills by reading a story about Illinois. Like the fact that is the most populated state in the mid-west region. Next, Chicago is not the capital but is more populated then the capital itself. Illinois is nicknamed the prairie state because it is mostly flat and corn fields.
