ADHD and Executive Function Skills for Success: Note Taking- Annotation for Neurodivergent Teens
Class experience
In this one time class teens will learn and practice annotation, a simple way to improve working memory by highlighting and reflecting upon key elements of written material so that it can be better understood and reviewed. By using annotation strategies, learners can access the information more easily when reviewing for assessments. It also allows students to find references that they can use as evidence when working on projects, essays, and reports. Annotation, a key tool for academic...
Teens will have the opportunity to try out the study skill of annotation to evaluate if it would be useful to them in an academic setting.
Bridget Smith is a teacher and parent with ADHD. Her focus on Outschool is supporting students with ADHD, other neurodiverse learners, and students with learning differences. She has taught over 2000 learners with ADHD and executive function challenges here on Outschool. She is a credentialed teacher who has taught preschoolers through adult learners. Bridget is credentialed by the State of California to teach K-12 Students. As a teacher who has worked with middle school and high school learners as well as the mom of two teens, Bridget enjoys working with this age group here on Outschool.
A one page guide to annotation will be provided before class starts. A PDF of a reading passage that we will refer to in class will also be provided. Students are encouraged to bring colored pens, pencils, or highlighters that they can use to annotate text.

The annotation strategies were developed based on a blog post by Keys to Literacy. Reference to the original post will be included in the handout so parents can use this resource directly if they wish. We use the Kahoot! website and app for review.
