How Great Learners Take Notes

Students are repeatedly told to “take good notes,” but many have never been shown what useful notes actually look like. In this practical ETM mini-class, Dr. Sherri teaches learners why note-taking matters, how five different strategies work, and how to choose the best method for the task. Learners will practice organizing information, create their own notes, and complete a teach-back challenge to determine whether their notes actually helped them understand the content. This self-paced experience includes the video lesson, a printable Student Practice Pack, and a Parent Support Guide. Designed for learners in grades 5–10. Most families will complete the lesson and practice in 30–40 minutes.
