What we did today:
Today Ms. Lees showed us some note taking skills that we could use in the future when we take notes. I learned a lot today, best not to have crutch words like so, but, it, um...etc and also not to have "I think" and also "In my opinion". Those show bad type of note taking and we don't want that. Ms. Lees showed us a couple of examples of notes today and all of the people who volunteered did a very good job on the notes. Ms. Lees showed them some points were they can develop their skills and what to add in the notes and what not to add in the notes. I learned a lot today about notetaking!!! In the last 20 minutes, we watched a lot of short and funny youtube videos about the crusades and the knights, nuns, kings...etc.... We were suppose to make a skit about one of the characters in the mid ages so those videos showed us a lot of examples of skits and comedy we can use to do our project. The youtube videos were also entertaining and my favourite video was THE KNIGHT SONG!!!!!

Why we did this:
Ms. Lees showed us the note taking skills because she wants us in the future to do a better job on these notes, also so we all, as a class, can improve and do better in note taking. After that we watched youtube videos!!!!! We did that because we can get ideas from the video for our project we are going to be working on in the future which is making a skit. The video helped me a lot.... now I have an idea for what my project is going to be on.

Connections:
The note taking helped me get more idea on how to do better notes. Ms. Lees helped me improve a little bit of my note taking. Note taking is a skill I can use in the future when I need to skit down ideas real quick, I can use note taking for that. The youtube videos showed us more about the mid ages characters and also it helped me a little on getting idea's for my project.
