Get them to make a prediction and real life connection based on their notes.This will help them see if they missed anything or get any more insights. Pair up students and have them share their notes with a partner.Do I understand what the notes are saying?.Have students reflect by asking questions such as:.It is helpful if you model for them the process of determining what is most important!.They should highlight the most important parts of their notes.Then identify points of confusion by putting question marks near or circling the parts they don’t understand.One way they can do this is by drawing pictures related to the notes.
This helps them begin to process the material and starts the process of retention! Have students re-organize and edit their notes so that they can see them again in a different way.Give your students notes to take on a topic or give them notes to complete.You go over a topic, give students notes to take, think you have covered everything, but they still don’t apply the knowledge.ĭon’t worry! There is a way to make notes more functional for your students!įocused note taking is a process that develops students’ note taking habits and is helpful for long term memory retention. I’m sure you know this scene all too well.
