 * Quizlet
 * Grammar Transparencies (#72)

2. 6/8/11 Cornell Notes Practice
 * Explain to students that in some higher level classes, the teacher sometimes talks and talks and talks to give information to students.
 * Explain that this is not the best way for students to learn, but still it is the students' job to learn, so they must be prepared for situations like this.
 * In order to prepare for situations like this, students will practice taking Cornell Notes on instructions for what to do next in class.
 * This time, you can write in any language.
 * As I speak about what to do next, you need to keep track of what I tell you to do. I will say 5 to 10 sentences. You will not have enough time to write everything I say, so you will have to write summaries of what I say. Let's begin.
 * Instructions:
 * Our next activity will be a review of yesterday's reading pyramid on "Hardheaded".
 * First you will form groups of 3 to 4.
 * Then you will take turns reading your summary sentences.
 * After that, your group will share the main point you put at the top of the pyramid.
 * Then, each person in your group will share a sentence they copied from the book that shows the main point is correct.
 * Review notes after speaking. Remind students that often teachers will not stop to speak slower and they will not wait while students copy every single word the teacher says. In order to take good notes, students need to learn to quickly summarize what teachers say.
