Combination+Notes

Combination Notes ﻿The page is divided into two columns. On the left side of the page take notes using some variation of informal outline. On the right side use graphic respresentation to organize the new information. On the strip across the bottom of the page, write summary statements for the notes.

This strategy allows students to review the information several times. Once as they record their notes, again as they look for or create illustrations and again as they write summary statements.

Combination Notes could also be used in conjunction with a summary frame, like Topic-Restriction-Illustration frame, or Narrative frame, or Argumentative frame.

Using technology with Combination Notes allows students to use the web to locate graphics, video clips, or create their own video clip for the topic. Making the illustration part of the notes more meaningful as they make connections to their life.
