Flowchart Notes

Flowchart Notes

Looking for a new way for students to take notes during Social Studies? Try "flowchart" notes. This note-taking technique has students break the story up into key parts, write short sentences explaining each part, and then draw pictures that will help them remember the different parts of the story. Words underlined in blue identify the lesson's vocabulary words.

In addition to being extremely effective with helping students retain the information presented in class, flowchart notes are very popular with students. The technique actually gets students excited about taking notes! Just think about it. It asks students to do what most of them already want to do -- draw.
