More guided notes/hand outs to help facilitate note taking on important principles.









This and more ideas on atwood202.
Great infographic on Greek mythology, either a great summary tool or as an example for a project.


Infographics

Aside from being a great tool to have in the classroom, infographics are also a great possible project for students. This a great instruction to to help students examine infographics.


Government in Gummy Bears

Very simple and easy to understand but this is a great visual for students on the dynamics of  some governments opperate and could lead to future projects on creating visuals for other principles.

Students' inexperience with taking and working with classroom notes is something that I really saw affecting my students this year. What I really want to try is to find several additional note practices or systems to have available for students next year. Practicing taking notes on either of fun or easy topic has been a great way to introduce note taking skills without loosing content. 
Providing doodle space also helps specifically visual learners.


Guided or structured notes take time to construct but can help students to understand the types of vocabulary and principle that require note taking.
