note-taking+L2+descriptions

**Project descriptions & time table**
 One of your classmates has been sick for weeks. He was in and out of the school and needed your help to catch up his Chinese studies. So you decided to rewrite your notes and give him your notes as study guides. Since there are too many contents to cover, you and your other classmates then decided that each person make one page (A4 size) of the notes from the Lesson Five - Visiting Friends. To reflect what the teacher has taught in the class and excel your note-taking skills, you all agree that t he contents should include characters, phrases, sentences, grammar and/or culture alerts, summarization, and self questioning.
