In my high school marketing class, my students take their notes in a way that allows them to be in control. They each have a notebook that they leave on a shelf in my room. I go over the information for the day, then students get to choose how they put the information in their notebook. Simply taking notes on lined paper or filling in the blank on a paper I've printed for them is NOT exciting or engaging for any student. After I give my students the information they need, they immediately get busy and start brainstorming ways to organize the information. They make foldables, write in different colors, glue index cards in their notebook, and other strategies that not only allow them to take control of what they are learning but also express their creative side. The supplies I am requesting will go directly to my students so they have an abundance of resources to make their notes interactive and fun. Since using this note-taking approach, I have noticed a significant increase in participation and a significant decrease in classroom distractions. The students sit and listen attentively while I explain the information and as soon as it's time for them to get their notebooks their hands and feet stay busy with cutting, gluing, writing, and walking over to another peer's desk to get some ideas and inspiration for their own notebook. Busy hands equals a busy mind, and my students are the busiest!
