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!Class Experience
US Grade 8 - 11
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 be used in different situations, students might experiment or learn a note-taking style that they do not necessarily like. And that is okay! This course is designed for students to learn different styles, their advantages and disadvantages, and the style(s) that work for them! While students work, the teacher will provide exemplars and will work through the examples through video presentation in the classroom. Students will then have the opportunity to present their knowledge in the way of their choosing and they will always be able to the topics of their own interest!
