Description
Class Experience
As students work through this course, they will be introduced to several different styles of note-taking. Each unique style has advantages and disadvantages can be used for so many different things. Each week, a new style will be introduced. Students will be provided several sources of materials including articles, graphic organizers, sample notes (exemplars), clearly presented PowerPoint presentations and notes, and more! It is important to note that while all note styles are unique and can...
Students will be able to: - Explain Different Styles of Note-Taking - Explain the Advantages and Disadvantages of Each Style - Choose the Styles that They Like and Find Effective for Their Own Style - Identify Cornell Notes, The Outline Method, Mapping, and Annotations - Develop Corresponding Questions to the Notes - Identify the Objective of Information - Share Questions and Respond to Them - Locate an Article on a Topic of Interest - Demonstrate Different Arguments - Annotate an Article - Explain the Symbols You Choose - Identify the Important Information Presented in Materials
I have taught these types of notes all five years of my professional career and teach several middle school through high school courses and note-taking courses on Outschool. I have Advanced Placement and AVID training, both of which work closely with effective note-taking and close-reading to help students with their understanding of material.
By nature of a flex class, students will be completing all work outside of live meetings.
Each week, students will be submitting their work through the classroom. This can be done through scanning of hand-written work or through digital copies. I am a firm believer in choice in the classroom and always want to leave this open for students!
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Each week, students will turn in samples of their work through the classroom as part of their interactions with not only the teacher but with their classmates!
No live meetings, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
