Note-taking - 4th period

Good afternoon!
I'm out sick today. Please read this carefully to get an idea of what you are doing today.

Part 1, REVIEW:

First, we are going to review a few of the things we've talked about in class, related to interviewing and active listening.

1. Read this document first. This is about DEVELOPING YOUR LISTENING SKILLS.
   - In your notebook, please write down two or three tips from this list that you want to remember during your interview.

2. Then read this document next.
  - In your notebook, define "ACTIVE LISTENING."
  - What does it mean?
  - Why is it important?
  - What are things you could do to be ACTIVELY LISTENING during your interview?

Part 2, REMEMBER:

Active listening is important. Having good listening skills is important. 

Part 3, NOTE-TAKING:

You must develop a note-taking system. It's vital that you know how to take notes during your interview. Please read this document about 5 different note-taking systems.

Pick a system that you like the most and that seems to be a good fit for you. Tell me why you picked it.

Part 4, ACTIVITY:

Finally, take a page of notes about what is happening in class today and what people said. I want you to write down at least 10 observations about fellow students, or the sub, in the class today (true things/facts, they don't have to be super interesting, just true and accurate), and find at least 10 quotes that people said.

Part 5, If you finish early, browse through these excellent note-taking resources.
