Good afternoon,

Ok Here is the website I spoke about this morning. It is a great resource for you as a teacher and for our parents- if you want to include it in your news letters.

We hope you enjoy this school.familyeducation.com page.

Also, as promised...the powerpoint is on the s: drive for you to look at. It will be a good resource to read through.

Now for your assignments for April 29th- Your assignment is to work with your table group(from today) to prepare to teach your strategy of writing summaries or note taking to the whole group on April 29th. This should only take about 3-4 minutes at the most for each group. I checked and found that you did not have the books that I was reading from so I will make a copy of the strategies and put them in your group leaders box to share( for those who did not get a sheet today). I will have copies of all strategies for everyone on the 29th so you only have to give info to people in your teaching group.
Group 1- Cindy Wright Summary Frames: The Argumentation Frame, The Problem/Solution Frame, The Conversation Frame
Group 2- Kathy Jackson Rule Based Strategy
Group 3- Blanca Oliver Summary Frames: Narrative Frame, Topic- restriction Illustration Frame, and the Definition Frame
Group 4- Betsy Truscott Combination Notes: Landmark college and the Cornell Two column Notes
Group 5- Connie Allen Webbing Notes- Extreme Notes
Group 6- Jennifer Mickey Roman Numeral Outline
Group 7- Amy Guthrie Post card summary
Group 8- Charlene Wellborn Picture Summaries

Update: All handouts have been put into the team leader's box as of this afternoon.

If you come across any websites or programs, or other user friendly ideas that will help us with the summaries and note taking process- please add it to the blog.

Any suggestions or things you have used is most welcomed too.
