Chapter 4 Reading and Note-taking update

Hi guys. Now that the Unit 1 test is over, we can turn our attention to Chapter 4 and Aegean Art. To further our discussion we had in class on Wednesday regarding effective reading strategies and note-taking strategies, I have divided the reading up into three sections for you. Hopefully this will make the material easier to digest, and will lead to more effective notes. If you are struggling with notes (i.e. you are writing down nearly EVERYTHING you read), I want you to use the Cornell notes page. If you can take a chunk of reading, and condense it into one page of notes covering one idea or main topic, you are doing effective reading. Also, DRAW PICTURES AND DIAGRAMS of as much as possible! Even if you are not an artist, it will help you to commit those pieces to a deeper understanding. Again, this class is a college-level course, as is most every AP course, and as such the reading will be vitally important to your success. If you are struggling to keep your head above water with this class (and balancing it with your others!), come in NOW to see me! Let's sit down together and see if we can get you on the right track! We may be able to come up with some tips and strategies to make this learning process more efficient for you.
