For the current health research project, we discussed and she completed short activities on identifying pertinent information in a text, and the value of creating a personal system of abbreviations when taking notes during research. We also discussed the benefits of printing sources which include the important strategy of writing notes in the margins and summarizing a section with limited words to indicate a main idea. During this session Kayla also learned how to create an outline for her research project, which is another way to organize one's thoughts and ideas in preparation for writing.
