This is a note-taking strategy designed for young children, but it would also work really well for older students, especially those who struggle with quickly representing thoughts in writing. This strategy helps students select details from a video or presentation/lecture and then categorize and summarize information.
Steps:
1. The teacher gives students a sheet divided into small rectangles
2. As students listen to a video or presentation, they sketch a simple drawing in each box.
3. After the presentation, students cut the pictures apart and then write a sentence for each.
4. Students then categorize the pictures. Each group of pictures/sentences forms a paragraph.
