9. Making A Shorthand System As you can see from our quick notes today, shorthand is really useful. Your job for the rest of class is to look over some of your classwork for other classes (you can go to your locker if necessary) and come up with any other shorthand you may need. Write all your shorthand symbols on a list. Try them out on notes from other classes and see if they work well at summarizing. With the last 10 minutes of class, share your shorthand with neighbors. See if there’s anything on theirs you want to copy down. Keep your list and use it!
