Marzano--Note Taking

In Chapter 3 of the Marzano book it talks a lot about the importance of note taking. I believe that note taking is a really important skill for students to have. I teach 5th grade and really try to help my students learn effective ways to take notes so they'll be prepared for middle school, high school, and college.

I liked the tips that it gave in the book:
1. Verbatim notes are perhaps the least effective way to take notes.
2. Notes should be a work in progress
3. Notes should be used as a study guide
4. The more notes that are taken, the better

I think those tips are something I could have posted in my classroom and refer to often. Giving students the skill of note taking will set them up for success in the future.
