Research and Note Taking Activities Unit 1

This 28 page unit gives busy teachers ready and easy to follow activities for helping students aged 11 - 14 learn how to research and take notes. As teachers, we often just tell the children to research and take notes when planning an essay but we need to remember that we, as their guides to learning, should help them develop these important skills.

The booklet includes 7 activities on:

• Questioning
• Topic research
• Paraphrasing passages
• Using mind maps and spider diagrams
• Creating a bibliography
• Using sub-headings.

Each activity has steps a teacher can take to conduct a lesson using these worksheets.
