[CASL-L] Note-taking Lessons/ Strategies

[Loretta Sullivan]

Hi Sarah,

Just some thoughts....will you be highlighting important main ideas/details
as you model?  Could students help contribute as a whole group to what they
think is most important (contribute to what should be highlighted and
why)?  Then shut off the projector and create the bulleted listed.  I am
thinking this will help them become involved in the process, then remember
what they feel is important to jot down in their list.

Could you create a Padlet to have everyone contribute to what they think is
important to bullet so that everyone can share in one place and be able to
see each other's responses (or something similar).  If your a Google
school, you can do this in Classroom...

Students can also share their bulleted ideas with a partner and they can
come up with a complete list together.  If you wanted to extend it, they
could create something from their important ideas (bulleted information) on
a word cloud generator, create a poem or song/rap with the ideas they got
(this may be too much for what you are looking to do).

Not sure if any of these ideas will work for you, but I thought I'd share.

Respectfully,
