US Grade 6 - 9
In this fun short note-taking class learners will explore different techniques for taking notes on what they read. We will also cover how to know what to record in your notes. This class teaches note-taking strategies that help learners with dyslexia or dysgraphia explore strategies that are simple and use few words. Learners with ADHD will also explore new techniques to improve working memory and improve focus. There are three components to this class: 1) Video lesson on 5W note-taking and what to record in your notes. 2) Video lesson on how to take notes on a textbook, book, or article. 3) Practice exercise on an article about bats that I have previously published. After class, learners will receive an optional self paced Kahoot! based on the presentation to test their comprehension and the effectiveness of the note-taking strategy.
Learning Goals
Students will learn what to record in their notes as well as different strategies to take notes on written material. Students will be able to use these techniques in their academic studies.
