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 provided towards the end of the lesson.

• Cornell notes: There are three versions–filled, filled with standards blank, and fill-in-the-blank. There are essential questions. Notes are completed by following along with the presentation. There are five criteria to the Cornell notes: header, student notes, main idea drawings, summary, and student-derived question (Depths of Knowledge).

• Presentation: Presentation guides direct instruction as students follow along and complete their Cornell notes. Presentation revisits anticipation guide statements from the beginning of the lesson and at the end (serves as warm-up), has built-in mini quizzes at the end of each lesson to check for understanding (5 multiple choice questions students answer on the back of their notes), pictures to help learn the material, and starter sentences to support students complete the summary section of their Cornell notes (differentiated instruction). Want editing power?! Buy the bundle!

• Activity: An activity follows the Cornell note in order to support and reinforce students’ understanding of the content and provide students an opportunity to think critically by creating something new with the input received from the notes. There are five criteria: written portion, art, color, reflection, and an “excellent" component to encourage students to do a quality piece of work.
