Day+3+and+Day+4-+Taking+More+Notes

=Taking More Notes = = = = = = = =Taking notes usually takes at least 2 days each time we research. At first it is because we are discussing how we pull the small fact out of each sentence and not take all the other stuff in the sentence. Later it is because we are using more sources for the kids to find their notes from. We always post the questions up for the kids to refer to while taking notes so they can ask themselves if what they are reading answers one of our questions. = = = = = = = =Later in the year we place different sources at each table, including internet resources on the computer, and the kids move around to different sources after a time designated by us getting as much as they can from each source. The first time we are doing this we give them more time at the first source because the information is new. Then less time as we switch because we remind the kids not to record facts they have already recorded. They only need to look for new facts from their other sources. = = = = = = = =One of our favorite sources for the internet is [|Pebble Go]. It is very user friendly for the lower grades because not only is the information simple to read, but it also has the built in ability to read and highlight the words to the kids. This site the kids always use on the computers. Otherwise we use Nettrekker to find our sources for the kids to use. Some of these sites we put up on the computer stations. We also print the pages off and show the kids how to highlight the facts and record them along with numbering which question it answers. = = = = = = = =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Day 1- Questions = =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Day 2- The Copyright Laws and Taking Notes = =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Day 3 and Day 4- Taking More Notes = =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Day 5- Organizing the Notes = =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> = =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Day 6- Creating the Product =
