Chapter 2:  2.1-2.2

Read and take notes

 

 

Discussion Questions

2.1 – Which of these phrases best describes the Bible: a rule book, an instruction manual or a story?

2.1- Has the Bible played a key role in the shaping of America or is that just the Christian version of history?

2.2- What are some important reasons to study the Bible?

 

 

How to take great notes

1. Title each page of your notes with the section, classroom discussion, or video it covers.
2. Review the discussion question for your assigned section.
   • Write the discussion question at the top of your page before taking notes.
3. Take notes after reading the section (or while you read the section.)
4. Your notes should answer the discussion question.

Always

1. If your study guide includes a scripture and you find that scripture in your reading section always write down the reference and verse(s) in your notes.
2. Provide definitions for any important terms, such as those in your glossary.
   • *Recommended*: Include definitions for new words that you need to know to understand the important terms.

 

If you want to be even more certain that you have great notes, make sure your notes align with the objective given for that section.

Note: This note-taking approach works well for any class that gives you learning objectives or even discussion questions ahead of time.
