The document discusses various note-taking methods including the Cornell note-taking system, column notes, and clock buddies. The Cornell system involves dividing a page into three sections - a cue column on the left, a note-taking column on the right, and a summary section at the bottom. Column notes also separate information into columns by type. Clock buddies is a partnering method where students are assigned partners based on positions on a clock face.

2. Method – a process in order to attain the objective of
the lesson.
ex. Scientific method, Induction, Deduction
Approach – discussing about the underpinning
theory, it’s nature and application.
ex. Understanding by Design (UbD)

3. Strategy – comes from the Greek word srategos “ the art
of the general”.
- a plan in order to attain the day’s lesson.
ex. Self-analysis, Journal Writing
Technique – a way how the teacher reacts in a certain
lesson.
Skills – specific and observable behaviors, capable of clear
definition and relatively discrete in nature, which are
judge to be basic to effective teaching.

4. ABC Brainstorm
What Is An ABC Brainstorm?
Brainstorming – to generate ideas, facts, insights
Before presenting the lesson, it is important to generate
the students background (prior knowledge).
 Prior knowledge – learner’s end in mind, knowledge
beforehand
 Students try to think of a word or phrase associated
with the topic, matched to each letter of the alphabet.

5. How Does It Work?
Have students list all the letters of the alphabet down
a sheet of paper, leaving room beside each letter to
write out the rest of a word or phrase.
Let them work individually at first, thinking of as
many words as they can that could be associated with
the topic you identify.
Let them pair up or work in small groups to fill in
blanks for letters they had not yet completed.
Then, go around the room or get students to report
out.

6. What Sorts of Topics Are Good for an ABC
Brainstorm?
Broad and Relevant Topics
ex. Government, Islam War, Great Depression
Topics previously studied, about which students
know much
ex. Current events and issues

Summary Paragraph:
Climate change is happening and it is caused largely by human activity.
Its impacts are beginning to be felt and will worsen in the decades
ahead unless we take action. The solution to climate change will
involve a broad array of technologies and policies—many tried and
true, and many new and innovative.

10. What Variations Are There?
Janet Allen created AlphaBlocks.
Rather than brainstorm ideas for all 26 letters of the
alphabet, students brainstorm ideas within groups
("blocks") of letters (ABC, DEF, GHI, and so on).
Another variation of ABC Brainstorm involves turning
the topic on its side, and writing the letters of the
topic down in the same was a name poem or an
acrostic (acronym).

11. Acrostic-a composition usually in verse in which sets of
letters (as the initial or final letters of the lines) taken in
order form a word or phrase or a regular sequence of
letters of the alphabet.
Acronym-a word formed from the first letters of each
one of the words in a phrase.

14. Carousel Brainstorm
What Is a Carousel Brainstorm?
A Carousel brainstorm allows students to pull out
and think about what they know about subtopics
within a larger topic.

16. How Does It Work?
Begin by putting students in groups of 3 or 4.
Give each group a sheet of newsprint/chart paper.
Each group's sheet has a different subtopic written on
it.
One student serves as the recorder.
Explain that the students will have a short time (say,
30 seconds) to write down on their chart paper all the
terms they can think of that they associate with their
topic.

17. Explain upfront that you will then have them pass
their sheet over to the next group, and a new topic
will be passed to them. (Make it clear which direction
you'll have them pass the sheets so that this is orderly
and so that each group will receive each of the
subtopic sheets.)
 After three or four passings, you will probably want
to extend the writing time to 40 seconds, then 45
seconds, and perhaps up to a minute, because all the
easy ideas will have been taken by previous groups,
and the students will need more time to talk about
and think of other terms to be added to the
brainstorm list.

18. Keep having students brainstorm, write, and pass
until each group has had a chance to add ideas to
each of the subtopic sheets. Let them pass it the final
time to the group who had each sheet first.

20. Clock Buddies
What Are Clock Buddies?
Clock Buddies is meant to be a quick and easy way to
create pairs for partnered activities while avoiding the
problem of kids always having the SAME partners.
It begins with a clock face, with slots for names
extending from each hour on the dial.

21. How Does It Work?
The basic idea is that each student has his or her own
copy of a Clock Buddies sheet, with the names of 12
classmates on each hour's slot.
Each of those other students, in turn, has this
student's name in the matching hour slot on each of
their clock sheets.
When the teacher needs to quickly pair up students
without it always being the same partners every time,
she can say to the class: "Get with your 4 o'clock
buddy." Each student will pull out his or her clock
buddies sheet, look at the 4 o'clock slot, and then join
the partner indicated.

22. Column Notes
Column notes share characteristics in common with
the Cornell system: information is grouped according
to its type, and then arranged in columns.

23. The Cornell note-taking system is a note-
taking system devised in the 1950s by Walter Pauk, an
education professor at Cornell University.

24. How Does It Work?
The student divides the paper into two columns: the
note-taking column (usually on the right) is twice the
size of the questions/key word column (on the left).
The student should leave five to seven lines, or about
two inches, at the bottom of the page.
Notes from a lecture or teaching are written in the
note-taking column; notes usually consist of the main
ideas of the text or lecture, and long ideas are
paraphrased.
Within 24 hours of taking the notes, the student must
revise and write questions and then write a brief
summary in the bottom five to seven lines of the page.

25. When reviewing the material, the student can cover
the note-taking (right) column while attempting to
answer the questions/keywords in the key word or
cue (left) column. The student is encouraged to
reflect on the material and review the notes regularly.

Climate and

Definition
Note-taking Area
Climate- average weather over a long period of
time.
Weather-atmospheric condition for a short
period of time.
Summaries
A simple way to think of this is: weather is what determines if you
will use an umbrella today; climate determines whether you own an
umbrella.

Questions
Will Climate Change
continue for the next
decade?
Explanations from Text
A study released by the
U.S. National Academy of
Sciences in 2010 said,
“Climate change is
occurring, is caused
largely by human activities,
and poses significant risks
for—and in many cases is
already affecting—a broad
range of human and natural
systems.”1 The climate will
continue to change for
decades as a result of past
human activities, but
scientists say that the worst
impacts can still be avoided
if action is taken soon.
Class discussion,
Video, Speakers, “Me”
Climate Change will
continue for the next
decade if there are no
specific actions made by
individuals living in this
world.
