Holding Thinking to Remember and Reuse
Marking Text:
1) write thoughts next to their inspiration (or connect them with lines) | 2) respond, don't just restate | 3) Be flexible with how you respond to the text
The classic way to annotate a text, using sticky notes or writing in the margins.
Highlighting:
1) model appropriate highlighting | 2) help students use/create a "color key" for marking | 3) understand that students will likely misuse highlighters at first
An effective, if at times troublesome, means of marking texts
Sticky notes:
Sticky notes are especially effective when the student cannot write in the text they have received
1) model appropriate annotations for sticky notes | 2) develop multiple ways of using sticky notes for students to use (color coded, page markers, finding quotes/commentary)
What is the most important strategy?
I would consider double-entry diaries the most important/effective strategy here. Part of the reason is actually the Common Core curriculum. I understand that Common Core is pushing for cross-disciplinary learning. Double-entry diaries have the advantage of working across every field; if they cannot work in one area (say, math) they can be easily adapted, such as in the form of the quad-entry diary. It is easy to create, establishes very clear objectives, and has the potential to promote other strategies on this list, such as the whole-group thinking activities--a teacher could very easily use the double-entry diaries to guide whole-class activities.
Comprehension Constructors:
Comprehension constructors are a great way to introduce new learning.
1) connect the new learning to older chapters | 2) use the title, the new vocabulary, and graphics to your advantage | 3) ask questions frequently!
Double-Entry Diary:
This is a type of note-taking strategy that works across all disciplines.
Columns to: 1) cite quotes | 2) establish connections to the text
Integrating Notes and Comprehension Constructors:
All these strategies should work together for individual and collective learning.
1) give students multiple means of taking notes (UDL) | 2) encourage group think | 3) remind students that group time is for group work, it is not a "free-for-all" | 4) hold students accountable for their work
Quad-Entry Diary:
An adaptation of the double-entry diary that allows for more information
Columns to: 1) establish a rule | 2) provide an example | 3) list what you know | 4) list what you don't know
Whole-Group Thinking:
A great tool for teachers who are answering questions common among an entire class.
1) use another student's work to help students understand | 2) present solutions to the whole class
