Just as Latin II forced me to learn English grammar, three terms of statistics enforced quantitative and qualitative critical thinking.<BR/><BR/>I think it's super-cool that high school students get the opportunity. After all, they may never major in soc or psych in college! :)Hugh O'Donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294517971286376134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51958265250790371.post-53355959417078461842008-08-12T23:14:00.000-05:002008-08-12T23:14:00.000-05:00Good idea for the first few days of school.

I'm glad for the long inservice because it motivates me to get to real work sooner, but a little jealous that you have kids sooner.<BR/><BR/>Re: button. I was looking for it on the lesson plan page/downloads home. It's not showing up on my Mac. (Yes, I've logged in.) I'll try it on my school laptop once that's issued to me and keep you updated. Thanks for all you're work on that site!Sarah Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334790599525148331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51958265250790371.post-89348529819679726692008-08-10T23:01:00.000-05:002008-08-10T23:01:00.000-05:00Three days of inservice first?

For whatever they're worth...<BR/><BR/>I like giving students the opportunity to take notes before giving the lesson on notes.<BR/><BR/>Ideally, I'd try to have more of a conversation with the students how they took their notes. (Go ahead and form the groups you want now. A think-pair-share perhaps?) What did they choose to focus on? How could they tell what was important? What shape did their notes take?<BR/><BR/>After generating ideas, then contribute your own. Say that the Cornell method is one that has worked in your class or something. Introduce it. Offer handouts. I'm not sure whether I'd require that method or not--maybe a certain number of attempts in the next week.<BR/><BR/><BR/>---<BR/><BR/>Separately (and not for you to deal with during the next few weeks): Has the upload button at ilovemath moved? I'm not seeing it anymore.Sarah Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334790599525148331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51958265250790371.post-4879428470063959932008-08-10T22:25:00.000-05:002008-08-10T22:25:00.000-05:00Good Luck!
