Not having them take their own notes has greatly impacted them.  They don't know how to read a text, decipher what is relevant, and take notes to prepare for a test. This practice is beginning in middle school now. ]]> 2017-10-18 18:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jclements36/rqc4g9icwaqw/wish/198420616 https://padlet.com/jclements36/rqc4g9icwaqw/wish/198422877 Teenagers are tired ALL THE TIME!

Developing this skill is important for students.  They need to be asked to concentrate for more than 50 minutes at some point in their high school years.  They will be taking long exams in college and they are woefully unprepared.  ]]> 2017-10-18 19:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jclements36/rqc4g9icwaqw/wish/198428728 https://padlet.com/jclements36/rqc4g9icwaqw/wish/198433620 The extra activities like band, taking classes that interest them beyond the basic four.]]> 2017-10-18 19:26:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jclements36/rqc4g9icwaqw/wish/198433620 https://padlet.com/jclements36/rqc4g9icwaqw/wish/198433914 Diamond in the rough. ]]> 2017-10-18 19:26:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jclements36/rqc4g9icwaqw/wish/198433914 https://padlet.com/jclements36/rqc4g9icwaqw/wish/199076064 you're right, it's tough to recall any!]]> 2017-10-20 14:30:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jclements36/rqc4g9icwaqw/wish/199076064 https://padlet.com/jclements36/rqc4g9icwaqw/wish/199111143 2017-10-20 15:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jclements36/rqc4g9icwaqw/wish/199111143
