STRATEGIES FOR TAKING NOTES

• To take notes you can write down individual words, phrases or sentences.

• Get your ideas on paper without worring about grammar.

• Your notes don’t need to be complete sentences, just enough to help you recall the information you heard.

IDIOMS

A group of idioms are phrases or sentences whose meaning can’t be determined from knowing the meaning of the individual words.

Example: That test was a piece of cake.

SUGGESTIONS… Keep a book of idioms and phrases

you are learning. Then categorize them by topic or alphabetically.

Include the idioms, the meaning, and a complete sentence.

SYLLABLES

As we speak we commonly check the listener understands what we are saying. With your books closed try to list some phrases for checking undersntanding you know.

VOCABULARY EXPANSION Play the audios to practice using

vocabulary in context. Begin with short sentences and

progress to more complex ones. This practice must be done weekly

to practice vocabulary, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation.
