    Post: Quiz was supposed to be successful!!!

    Posted by Stacy 8 NC on 9/01/08

    First week of school. Science observations. Did a cool
    activity. Lots of observing and logic. Kids engaged. Gave
    a great, IMHO, powerpoint on science observation skills.
    Kids took 1 slide of notes. Did class/yes, teach/ok.
    Thought there was a lot of learning. Gave a notes quiz the
    next day as a warm up. Write down the 3 things from the day
    before from your notes. The majority of kids did fantastic.
    Of course they did! They used their notes and they can
    copy!!! But, I got a bunch of garbled stuff about the
    scientific method from a few of them. They did not take
    notes or chose not to use them, couldn't find them or took
    lousy ones. My notes are all jumbled in their heads with
    their prior knowledge. Now, I realize I've learned a lot
    about them. I know their misconceptions, how well they
    write, how careful they are when the take notes and who has
    a short term memory.

    My dilemma is this. I don't want to discourage them by
    giving them a poor grade on this little quiz. But, they
    need to know that poor note taking skills is going to be
    harmful and they gotta get it together now. I do not have
    science books. They must have decent notes.

    What would you do?
