Notetaking

One effective strategy for improving retention is note taking – not just because you’ll have a written record to refer to in the future, but also because the actual act of taking notes can help cement concepts in your mind. There is no single way of taking notes.  Browse these resources to find what suits you.

Water represents purity in the Islamic religion and it is a symbol that represents other qualities such as wisdom.

Baptism is a sacrament by which people become members of a church. In some churches, baptism involves sprinkling water on a person. Other churches practice immersion (lowering the person completely into water). Many Christians baptize infants. Others, including Baptists, believe that baptism should not occur until a person is old enough to make a personal commitment to a church. Christians believe that Jesus set an example for this sacrament when he asked the Jewish holy man John the Baptist to baptize him. WBO Student | Article (worldbookonline.com)
