Fill in a history notes organizer
When to use this goal
For upper elementary students who copy whole sentences or leave notes blank when reading a social studies textbook. Present levels in finding a detail that answers a question decide fit.
- Baseline
- Collect two note sets from recent class work. Count copied sentences separately; heavy copying with accurate content means the student finds the information but needs paraphrasing practice.
- Tips
- Use the same organizer format the student will use in middle school. The organizer should match the text's headings so the structure is visible. Speech-to-text is fine if writing is a separate need.
- Limits
- The rubric scores the notes, not the student's later use of them. Textbooks without headings need a different organizer.
