Take Powerful Notes: How to Remember What You Learn By Writing It Down Well
Which student are you — do you take too many notes, or not enough? Do you take them but don’t understand what you wrote, or feel so overwhelmed that you never look at them again?
During this hands-on session, we’ll practice the keys to note-taking so that you know what to write down and how, and can use your notes to study for upcoming tests. We will provide a handout, but please bring (1) a writing utensil and (2) a book or notebook to provide a flat surface on which to write. This workshop is for parents and students.
In this video, Gretchen will share more details about the workshop as well as her “Anti-Boring Study Cycle” which she will allude to in the workshop. If you haven’t attended one of her workshops before, this would be helpful to watch!
RSVP: 2/6 Note-taking Workshop
