Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 11
Beginner - Intermediate Level
Students will work with instructor to build note taking skills. Students will be introduced to different techniques, resources, and important details when it comes to taking notes. We will review mainstream news articles and videos as we discuss what is noteworthy in a Socratic Seminar. Each week the reading and watching schedule will be discussed and determined based on the flow of the seminar. Students will be challenged to demonstrate independent thinking by contributing relevant insights and sharing their notes on screen for feedback. 

Each class meeting will be structured the same with one of the note taking methods above. Students can anticipate the following class structure:
Intro/Review Progress

Review Schedule
