[quote=Anonymous]My guess is most of your kids have negative experiences with note taking from books and such from middle school. They seem to teach books that way in MS. In my class, we work on skills and ideas and then apply them to the books we are reading. I’ve done this with class texts in the past but with a little more effort on my part, this can be done with kids reading their own books. Their assignments are tasks with real life applications: write a business letter to someone about an issue you care about. Write an opinion piece. Create a podcast with your peers on this topic you’re interested in. Many high school teachers are moving away from lecture-note taking-test models of classroom teaching and toward this model. So, while a PP thinks I/it are obnoxious, it’s really just responsive teaching that focuses on kids reading and writing as much as possible. [/quote]
