Learning Log: Chapter 10

Using graphic organizers is something that I have used a lot over the years of teaching young students.  They were used to highlight certain key points and to organize ideas into a visual way that could help students better comprehend a new concept.  I can see how this could carry over to being helpful using within texts as well.

As a teacher of young learners (preschool, kindergarten), I often have first exposed students to learning how to take notes and why it's important to do so.  Differentiating between what to take notes on and what not to include in the notes can be hard for students to understand and put into practice.
