Taking notes with both sketches and text will help the students remember important key information.

Students need to know that note taking is not about writing and remembering everything. Using graphic organizers, pictures, and text make note taking meaningful

I like the idea of summarizing by "putting it on a bumper sticker or t-shirt."  I wish I had been taught these skills when I was in school.

The drawing and the note taking make a lot sense for elementary students.  It will enhance their learning.

I love the idea of sketching and asking each child what he/she thought was important.  I can't wait to hear 29 different "summaries"!

Note taking is a great way to improve understanding of content as well as improving writing.  

# data[].attributes.body
As a visual learner myself, I love the sketching and drawing for students who are may not be the best writers.  I will be checking into the Cornell note taking

Students only make gains when they are allowed  to make their own judgements.  They won't make gains if they are memorizing the teacher's thinking.

I don't think kids know how to take notes and unless it is explicitly taught, this skill will hold them back from greater understanding.

It's good to have doodling/sketches validated as a type of note taking.  Some of us have done this for years!

We like the template that was modeled and given to us.  The strategy can be used for integrating content area.  We're already thinking of ideas for Immigration.

The Cornell Note taking strategy is an idea that I will be using in my classes next week. I also like the 3 step summarizing process concrete-student response-s

Summarizing and Notetaking will help students with their metacogntion across subjects. This strategy will be a great tool to use in Science and Social Studies.

Good template. Will use in content areas.

Enjoyed the template. Will use in science and social studies.

Great way for all ability lvls. to take notes! I was thinking of my students w/scribe services what a great tool for them to ind. record their thinking!

# data[].attributes.body
We can easily incorporate summarizing and notetaking into all subject areas.   Also, we want the book Tools for Teaching Content Learning!  :)

 I love the idea of comparing a summary to creating a catchy bumper sticker!

Giving students a template, and allowing them to take notes in a way that suits how they learn will help them better retain the information.

Note taking and summarization will help students make meaning of what is being taught. It allows students to utilize their effective learning style

Note taking and summarizing makes the instruction more explicit for the students by creating visible thinking.

# data[].attributes.body
Summarizing is a 3 step process. Give students something real to observe. Give chance to record thinking. Frame summary -to show what they think.

Note taking with sketches and text using graphic organizers will make it easy to use in second grade

Taking notes will help students make meaning of what is being taught.

Note taking and summarizing makes the instruction more explicit by creating visible thinking for the students.

The most important part of summarizing is to have the student summarize what THEY learned.

# data[].attributes.body
Summarizing is a 3 step process:
Start with the concrete
Allow students to show what they think is important
Summarize into a narrative for others to read

I am impressed by the 34% gains in using this strategy, and the idea of "making thinking visible."
Also, I liked the Cornell notetaking system and
template.

Taking notes with drawing/sketches will improve the students' memory/recall by 63%.  

# data[].attributes.body
Summarizing helps master content knowledge.  We learned it has to be the kids doing the summarizing to be effective.

# data[].attributes.body
Note taking=visual thinking.  Increasing the amount of student created picture posters will give 63% better understanding compared to 10% with just text alone.
