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.
