New “Notetaking” Tip: Each class period, create a GDoc with the day/date as the title. Copy all my questions during the period  into your doc and when I go over the answers, type in the answer.  Add anything I might have called attention to while we read. Now you have a great study doc for the test! Or use the same doc for the whole week of work!
