Less is More: How to Teach Students To Take Notes and To Understand What They Read |

Grade: |
5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 |

Many students, even into college, will copy or underline everything in a text or try to reiterate word for word what a lecturer is saying. This unit is a series of lessons that can be used with any informational text to teach students that by writing key concepts, reviewing, discussing, and elaborating, they will discover the real importance of taking note... |
