I chose to focus on taking notes over the first four because they were the stories I was most familiar with, and then I took notes over Jephthah's Daughter because I did not know that story. Overall, I liked this note-taking style of finding characteristics of the different Bible Women, but I don't think it was my favorite style of taking notes. It has been hard to only focus on my favorite parts of the readings to take notes on instead of taking notes on the entire reading, just because my whole educational career I have been taught to summarize the entire story. Although it is hard, I really like the challenge and enjoy writing about the sections I like!
