SPRITE Note Taking Procedure
You are required to take notes for each chapter that you are assigned. The purpose is to turn a large
amount of pages into 3-4 pages that can be condensed in order to study for quizzes, tests and
eventually the AP exam.
Taking notes is critical to doing well in any subject. I will check notes often.
Often it is helpful to organize the information in a SPRITE formation.
