Purpose: To integrate lecture notes with the textbook or other resources (lab work, homework, problems, etc.)
- List the chapter’s major topics across the top of the board and resources down the left side (i.e. textbook, lecture slides, lab report, homework problems, etc.)
- Have students create this same table in their own notebook/computer.
- Collaboratively, fill in the table on the board. This can be done in a variety of ways:
- Put students into small groups and assign each group one major topic listed on the board. Have them fill in the column on the board with all the info/resources they find.
- Pair students up and have them fill in the whole chart together. Then, as a large group, ask students to contribute by writing in different areas on the board until the table is full.
- Once the table is complete, discuss:
- Are there any holes in our notes? Anything major we missed?
- Do you have anything else you’re confused about?
