Day+5+-+Notetaking+-+Strategies+in+School

__Topic:__ Notetaking II

__Objective:__ Discussion of notetaking in class. Notetaking should be modeled by teacher writing on the board. There should be a discussion about what strategies a student can use when information is coming quickly. Additionally, students should be introduced to processes about how to reorganize and elaborate notes at home after a class. (NOTE: This class should be linked to that day's ELA class and should occur, ideally, after ELA.)

__Time:__ 1 hour

__Materials:__ A copy of "good" notes from that day's ELA class should be handed out. This should provide guidance for the discussion. (LINKAGE TO ACTUAL LESSONS IS CRITICAL!)

__Homework:__ Reflection of a paragraph or two on the student's past notetaking and how they believe they can improve notetaking in the future.
