Earlier in the week, we watched a TED talk that related tragedy to failure. Something that stuck with me from the TED talk was that "we live in a snobby society". People are constantly judging and ridiculing each other for their failures, and it makes people not want to try from fear of failure. This causes societal tragedy, since we are so judgmental and make others not want to try. We also learned a new note taking strategy, which is Cornell notes. This leaves a column for note taking during the lesson, a column to get the big idea from those notes, and a row to summarize what you got from it. This is better than just writing a few things down and looking back at them when you need them. Cornell note taking gives you the opportunity to better remember the lesson and put it in your own words so that you understand it better. This helped a lot while reading "Oedipus Rex" because personally, I thought the book was a little bit hard to interpret. After pausing a few times to summarize and explain what we just read, it became easier to write notes in my own words. My goal when taking notes is that I can know the material well enough to explain it to someone else after. If I can do that, I know that I completely understand the material and can remember it. This site will give a better explanation of Cornell notes: http://coe.jmu.edu/learningtoolbox/cornellnotes.html xoxo, Gabby
