So far, I have learned so much more about things I have never known before. The research I have been doing is very interesting and fun to learn about.

One of the most helpful note taking strategies is boxes and bullets. Like I said in the last blog post, I think that this is a very broad way of notetaking and can be used in a lot of ways. As I have been continuing my research, I think it is nice for when I don’t know how else to note-take or if it is a very big topic. For example, when I was reading about the stages of the batter in the oven, there were lots of different stages and a lot of information about each stage. It was very hard to use a compare and contrast note-taking strategy, so I chose boxes and bullets. I think writing that way helped me understand it better. 

During this process, I have had to change and add a couple of things. One thing I realized was that there were still a few questions that I had after I finished researching. These questions were very important for me to successfully complete my final project. I just finished note-taking on all of my sources, so I will use the next few days to find answers to my follow-up questions. As for all my research, I would say the quality of it is pretty good. I think that I have good research so that when I get to my final project I will know what to do and how to make my recipe for the cupcakes. However, I think that there might be some excess information that might confuse me on what information is important or not.

Overall, I am so excited to do my final project. I can’t wait!

Even though I prefer boxes and bullets, here are some other ways to note-take if you need ideas!:
