End of Quarter Hyperdoc Reflection

No Tricks - All Treats! AVID Focused Notes with Google Slides

Teaching students how to take notes is difficult. Reading to find the right information in a text is a difficult strategy and students have to practice it. Whether you call this "annotating a text," a "close read," "active reading," or "focused notes," students need to practice it.

I love this ready made slide that helps teachers quickly implement and teach the strategy in class. Check it out HERE.
