So far in this unit we have covered the best ways to take notes in each of our classes. Students have taken notes on real chapters from their social studies and science books. We have discussed how to take notes during math class and how to use those notes as well as examples from the book to study for tests. We have gotten up close and personal with our language arts book, learning all the hidden goodies to help us study smarter. This week I will be handing out the rubric for the notes section of your 6th Grade Survival Guide; remember, this "final project" will have segments due each time we finish a specific area.
Now we are moving on to organization and goal-setting. Students have discussed various elements that can affect studying, including lighting, the student's personal sound requirements, the room's furniture and layout, the external noise they can't control, and the best time of day for them to study. Students have also examined how they set goals and how to be more efficient and successful at accomplishing those goals. We will be creating written goals this week and begin to use a monthly calendar that Ms. Ites created to put in their planners. Students will detemine the best types of goals to set for their school life as well as other areas of their lives.
Below you will find the PowerPoint we have been using in class to help students to study smarter, not harder.
