Chapter 6
Integrating reading and writing is a key component in student learning. Students can always write about their reading and also reread they writing. I believe students should learn these skills starting in Kindergarten, but sadly enough my third grade students lack so much with grammar. They barely have the basics and it makes it hard to move forward to more in depth skills. I do not blame any one, because from day one students are taught skills that will help them take and pass test after test. What age should they learn to take notes? This skill is a great skill for students to have, but when are students ready to take on this task. I know when reading basasl we track our reading, but its usually done through one or two words. Throughout this chapter I have jotted down and highlighted several key concepts and tips I would like to incorporate into my classroom.

That is a good question, what age/grade do students learn to take notes? I know my seventh graders take Cornell Notes. I have them take them from PowerPoints over new material, and I know they take them in social studies. But, does note taking start earlier than that? That is something teachers should know!
ReplyDeleteI will have to look into Cornell Notes - I am not familiar with them.
ReplyDeleteGreat question, when it is appropriate for students to begin taking notes. I can't recall discussing it with my 3rd grade teaching team, but I will certainly expect my 7th graders to this fall. Along with language arts, I will be teaching a section of social studies, and taking notes then will be great practice at summarizing and picking out the important facts.
