WEM chapters 2 and 3
These are my very short notes from chapters two and three. I am just putting them here in one place in case I ever want to print them and make a journal for this book.
Chapter 2
Working with difficult passages develops wisdom. Wisdom marks or changes you forever.
Gathering facts is a totally different skill and does not lead to wisdom or enlightenment.
Some people may need help with the mechanics of reading and vocabulary building.
Chapter 3
My notes are very similar to those already posted about the chapter, so I thought I would post how I take notes.
If it is a book I know I really want to study, I buy a good
hardback copy. Then I write in it. I have tried many times to use
separate journals or noteboks, they just don't work for me, too much
rewriting so I don't stick with it. Keeping my notes on the computer
has been helpful, but it is still just typing up what I have already
written in the book.
I read the chapter or the section once through before I summarize
it at the end. The fact that there is usually only half a page or so to
summarize helps me pull out the main ideas and not ramble. If something
really grabs me while reading I highlight or underline it. Then when I
read through a second or third time I write notes, questions, &
ponderings in the margins in different color inks depending on why I am
studying the book.
Notes and ponderings I tend to write in blue ink. Questions are
almost always in red because I want to go back and see if they ever get
answered. If they aren't answered in the book, I try to do research on
my own to find the answer.

What Type of Homeschooler Are You?
Galileo - If it is worth learning, it has been printed
in Latin. You want your children to have a
classical education. You teach the Trivium of
grammar,
logic, and rhetoric, and the Quadrivium
of arithmetic,
geometry, music, and astronomy.
Ancient history is
fascinating to you, and you
own several Greenleaf
Guides to prove it.
