https://padlet.com/lawillis1/7gg0nfe6w9r2 Which note-taking strategy did you implement in your classroom? What did you notice as the students worked with the strategy? What was effective? Would you use this strategy again? How would you modify it? en-us 2017-01-31 18:18:00 UTC 2023-02-06 02:41:52 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/File.png https://padlet.com/lawillis1/7gg0nfe6w9r2/wish/151449928 To introduce sketch notes to my students, after instruction I had them do a fun one: snow day. Next we did sketch Cornell, or a combination of Cornell notes and sketch notes in our science notebooks about the processes of the rock cycle using a web site for information. Last, each table group produced a large sketch note of one of the processes and the sketch note was displayed in the classroom. We used a gallery walk process so that each student could gather more information about these processes. Organization of information is the key to high quality sketch notes, Cornell notes, or a combination of the two.]]> 2017-02-03 14:49:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lawillis1/7gg0nfe6w9r2/wish/151449928 https://padlet.com/lawillis1/7gg0nfe6w9r2/wish/152318837 I have not tried one of the suggested ways of note taking, but one that I recently finished was to use a flip book for the "changes of state" unit.  I had not done this before, but it turned out really well.
I assigned the format the night before, which was a good idea for those who could to fold and pre-make the flip book.  I had paper available for those who did not make theirs at home.  
As we talked about each of the changes of states, we stopped and filled in our flipbooks.  Several students used their iPads to help with some basic sketch ideas to help guide their drawings.  Students took notes in their flipbooks along with sketching pictures to help reinforce the concepts.  
Some students took their flipbook one step further. They took pictures of each flipbook page and created a slide show for them to use when reviewing.
Very good idea to use again.]]> 2017-02-07 22:20:01 UTC https://padlet.com/lawillis1/7gg0nfe6w9r2/wish/152318837 lawillis1 https://padlet.com/lawillis1/7gg0nfe6w9r2/wish/165968512 Second semester, I used a variation of Cornell Notes. Previously, I had used Guided Notes in which they had to answer questions on a half sheet of paper that I printed for them. I went with the Cornell Notes to help them learn the note-taking process so that when they go to high school, they know this skill on their own. Cornell notes are easy to implement and for students to read and review their notes. Students can cover the right side in order to study]]> 2017-04-11 19:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lawillis1/7gg0nfe6w9r2/wish/165968512 lawillis1 https://padlet.com/lawillis1/7gg0nfe6w9r2/wish/171318847 I used Cornell note-taking. I gave the students the template and walked them through the process together. Then I asked them if this is the way they used the strategy in other classes and they said, "no!" The students have had other teachers use essential questions on the left and notes on the right. In science, I used topics or key terms. I like having the students synthesize their learning by writing a short paragraph at the end.]]> 2017-05-11 17:13:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lawillis1/7gg0nfe6w9r2/wish/171318847
