In Q2, my notebook has allowed me to organize my thoughts from the book, lessons, and discussions, as well as brainstorm ideas for projects. In the future I hope to use my notebook more often in discussions and other things where it isn’t specifically needed, and to take notes on everything, rather than specifically when I need to. Q2 Notebook Walkthrough

My notebook for Quarter 2 has helped me to sort many of my ideas. In my notebook, I made sure to utilize icons, boxes, and underlines to help pick out and summarize topics. In the future, I would like to color code my notes and develop the habit of always having my notebook out.

My notebook has significantly helped me improved my ability to learn during class yet there are still so many ways how I can fully maximize my potential on taking notes. In the next quarter I definitely will improve on my note taking skills and i will accomplish that by being more active on my notebook.

Since quarter one, I have found new ways to improve my notebook to help it make sense to me. This quarter especially, I found a way to organize my discussion notes so I can understand what thought belongs to who, and what response belongs to what question. With organized information, I can learn how others feel about a topic and use their knowledge to expand my own. This shows that through my notes, I can learn more about myself and others in how we learn. I intended to maximize this knowledge by continuing to improve on my discussion notes and how I feel about others’ opinions. In order to do this, I will also need to keep making color coded annotations to be able to contribute to group or pod discussions to be able to suggest ideas, because that is how my reading notes make sense to me.

Brooke Johnson - Q2 Notebook

Madi’s Q2 Notebook Project My notebook has really helped me organize my thoughts. My brain tends to be all over the place and having something to write/draw on is really helpful. I also can never remember anything, so I really try to make sure I take quality notes in class to reflect on later. I think it would be interesting if in the future I have a designated drawing section, so I don’t crowd the notes with my doodles. Just so I can be a little more organized.

P.S Google Docs really lessens the quality.

During quarter 2 my notebook has once again successfully evolved into something that is and was better than my previous notes. Throughout my time in quarter 2, I found various ways to improvise my own writing and notes. My Q2 notebook has helped me in many ways. For example, it helps me with the test that Mrs.Giknis usually pass out. It also helps me keep track of time/chapter. Moving forward to the future I will try to find new ways to improve my writing and note-taking ability.

My notebook has helped my learning experience because it allows me to jot down my thoughts for a better understanding of what we’re learning. My annotations keep me connected with whatever story we are reading. Going forward, I will continue to keep thorough notes that I can go back to when I need help. Q2 Notebook

During quarter two this notebook helped with retaining the information in class and in born a crime. To improve my notebook I want to add colors and bigger writing to indicate what is important.

What the notebook did for me was make it easier to remember things, not in the fact I could look back, but it helps me mentally memorize it when I write it down. I will maximize my notebook by keep using it the same I have been but taking more note in my book.

In the 2nd Quarter, I feel like my notebook has become an even more helpful tool in English. I feel like a lot of what we’ve done this quarter is reflecting, as well as learning and becoming more aware of identity and the influence of language and race. Because of this, I feel like my notebook has not only become a place where discussion notes and reflections happen, but often now where I store information and resources of how to use Trevor Noah’s unique techniques of writing, as well as notes on examples surrounding race. In the future, I plan to keep this merge alive and continue to have my notebook even more diverse than it has been in the past few months.

Q2 Notebook Flipthrough

In my notebook, I noticed that while I started to take more notes in class, they weren’t really neat and with no context make no sense. So I guess something that I would want to work on is giving my notebook more context and making it neater and more tidy. Even though my work isn’t the neatest, it still helps me learn. For example, if I forgot the definition of the word jargon, I could go back into my book and get the definition.

This is my reflection on how my notes have been coming and my notes on Born a Crime. My notebook has helped me learn by helping me to have something to write notes in so that I can go back later and study them. Moving forward I will write as much as I can in it.

This notebook for Q2 has helped my learning because it helps me express my thoughts through my notes and not always my words. Something else I believe It helps me do is it helps me learn more about things and be able to look back at them in a descriptive way instead of just remembering them inside of my head. I plan to maximize my efforts by being more descriptive in my notes and suggesting different ways of learning throughout my notes. I finally believe I will maximize my efforts by explaining and going into more depth on my notes and their reasoning. I finally believe this has helped me learn because it has taught me the importance of notes and how descriptions are very important more than brain memory of these certain topics. video one and part dos

My Q2 notebook has seriously helped me with all the work we have done. This quarter in particular we did a lot of independent work. The notes I took in class allowed me to get my work done without having to ask for help. In Q3 I intend to do all that and more. I hope to be a little more descriptive in my notes so what I am saying is more identifiable to anyone else reading my notes.
