Re: Quiz was supposed to be successful!!!

The quiz grade should stand so that they start to understand
the importance of their notes. And it would be a good idea to
follow up with another quiz at some point on their notes to
reinforce that. In the meantime, make a note of those
students. Try and connect with them each day even if just for
30 seconds. Pay attention to how they are paying attention
next time you take notes. During work time take a few minutes
to work with them on the scientific method if they still need it.
