Note Taking, Cues, Questions and Virtual Trips

I think I am finally getting the hang of this blogging. After reading Chapter 4 and 6 and watching the video presentations for this week I am excited about the virtual field trip but am having trouble finding one for Physical Education. Cues and Questions help students organize their thoughts and helps the teachers introduce new information to students. When I was in 11th grade my AP English teacher introduced and helped us master Cornell Notes, she said we would need this skill for college. Now it is more important than ever to expose our students to note taking that will help them organize thier thoughts and information earlier in their education than when I learned. The school where I was teaching fourth graders knew how to take Cornell Notes and I thought that was awesome. I found that the virtual field trip to the theater where Lincoln was assassinated helped me see just what students are learning and how it can relate to prior knowledge and connect to new information. I always say everyday you learn something new and I did this week.
