Product Details:

★ Warm-ups: Two true or false statements are provided to identify what students know, what they think they know, and what they will learn. The warm-ups are built into the presentation with the answers are provided towards the end of the lesson.

★ Cornell notes: There are three versions—filled, filled and vocabulary/main ideas underlined (close note strategies) and fill-in-the-blank. Notes are completed by following along with the presentation. There are essential questions, a summary section, and a column for students to add drawings to illustrate the vocabulary.

★ Presentation: The slide presentation guides direct instruction as students follow along and complete their Cornell notes. The warm-up is built-into the presentation with the answer provided at the end of the slide presentation. There is a mini quiz at the end of each lesson to check for understanding (5 multiple choice questions with answers), images to help visual learners, and starter sentences to support students complete the summary section of their Cornell notes focused on the essential questions (differentiated instruction). It is a PDF file, which can be viewed in a presentation by clicking on “View” and then on “Full Screen Mode.”

★ Activity: An activity follows the Cornell note in order to support and reinforce students’ understanding of the content. This provides students an opportunity to demonstrate what they learned in a fun, creative way while offering support. There are five criteria: written portion, art, color, reflection, and an “excellent" component to encourage students to do a quality piece of work.
