__Two Column Notes__

> Example:
 * Get a scratch piece of paper and fold it vertically (hot dog)
 * Head straight to the questions
 * on the left side of the scratch paper, rewrite the questions in their simpliest form
 * Read the passage keeping notes on what you think the answers are going to be in the right column
 * After you have read, go to the questions and find the option that best matches your answers in the right column
