Post: taking notes
Posted by txhstcher on 4/06/09
Hi! I am a hs foreign language teacher in texas and am
trying to get feedback from teachers in other states about
note-taking or lack of in foreign lang classes especially--
but all feedback is appreciated.
My question is: do you require your students to take notes
in your class?
If so, what is the procedure? are the students
responsible for listening and writing what they think is
important, do they copy information from the
board/overhead, or do you give them handouts of notes?
I want to raise the standard of learning in my classroom
because I see that our students are not college-ready when
they leave our area schools. I think if just one teacher
can expose these kids to higher expectations,they will do
better (or at least not as surprised when they get to
college). On the other hand, I want to raise the standard
by just a little--I don't want to overkill.
TIA for any responses to this.
