Notes-
Structure
note taking is important to know forever. The reason why I say this and believe this is because
at 26 years old I still have to take notes in college and even at work during
meeting. So you ask yourself what to write what is important, especially for students in elementary school
while reading not every sentence is important, or the entire article is
important. If students are taught a structure way of taking notes they will not
have this problem going forward. The
more the students do this the easier it becomes and eventually they will not
have to draw arrows and write a summary,
it will be second nature. I like the
concept they mention by having students draw a vertical line to mention key
words and the main idea and then write a brief summary. When looking back at
notes to study or just to refer to this is easy and great. In the article I found what blew me away was a
student taking notes on the tables in the classroom. This is so fun and
engaging and a way for students to refer to in the classroom. Also it is great
to use for STEM, which is great for other subjects. So in a classroom note
taking can be used in many ways. Overall note taking is important and is a
concept students can always have with them.
There is no age limit for structured note taking! If one is learning by reading (any form of) literature then it makes sense to utilize this good strategy for better comprehension.
ReplyDeleteHello Erika,
ReplyDeleteI was also going to choose Structured Note-Taking. I was introduced to Cornell Note-Taking in college. It is a helpful tool for younger students as well. It provides them with structure to take notes effectively.
