Guided Notes & PowerPoints for Engaging Background Information in Secondary Classrooms

Guided Notes & PowerPoints for Engaging Background Information in Secondary Classrooms

Why Use Guided Notes? 

  1. Improved learning outcomes: Guided notes provide structure and organization for students to take notes, making it easier for them to comprehend and retain the information being presented.
  2. Active engagement: Guided notes require students to interact with the material and take an active role in the learning process. This engagement can lead to deeper understanding and longer-term retention of the information.
  3. Clarity and focus: Guided notes help to clarify key points and focus students' attention on the most important information. This can help prevent confusion and ensure that students are retaining the most relevant information.
  4. Differentiation: Guided notes can be adapted to meet the needs of students with different learning styles and abilities. This can help ensure that all students have access to the information being presented and can participate in the learning process.
  5. Time-saving: Guided notes can save time for both the teacher and the students. By providing a structure for note-taking, teachers can avoid having to repeat information and can spend more time on discussion and interaction.

Guided notes are a valuable tool for teachers as they help students to engage actively with the material, retain information more effectively, and save time for both the teacher and the students.

How do I use these guided notes and PowerPoints to provide content overviews and backdrop information? 

  • Provide students with a printed copy of the student notes packet or a digital link to a copy they can type into. 
  • Share the presentation with them to read and fill in the missing pieces and answer questions using a video format or present the materials as students follow along and make notes and answer questions in their packet. 
  • Encourage students to make their own notations and annotations throughout their note taking packet.  Encourage doodles and mind joggers.
