How can students take notes as they read if they are not allowed to write in the book?
Students can still take notes, even if they cannot write in their books. • Teach your students how to use sticky notes by showing them a place that you have marked with a sticky note and explaining why you marked it. • Give students only one or two sticky notes at first, and then ask them to do what you did–as they listen to or read the selection. As they learn to use the sticky notes, you can give them a few more as appropriate. • Have older students take notes directly in the Reader’s Journal or a notebook. Or have students place a clear transparency over the page on which they can write their notes.
