Skill One- Take Good Notes!NOTE TAKING / NOTE MAKING - What Is The Difference?
Note taking - to record others ideas, usually these ideas are in the written format, but it may be from an interview or video. This would need only writing and memory skills for students to do. Note-taking info. http://www.education-world.com/a_lesson/lesson/lesson322.shtml
Note making - to think and record your own ideas. Students do this after a thinking time, kinesthetic activity or when working in a collaborative manner. Students would note make if they knew what question they were answering. NOTE TAKING STRATEGIES:How are these taught?

Skill Two-Study your Notes- highlight important ideas.What have we discussed the most in class?
What are the BIG ideas that were asked about in the Analysis Questions for each lesson? Did I study the quizlet vocabulary words would help me on the test? Did I re-read the Challenge Questions to summarize the lessons? |
