Have participants take turns reading a portion of their notes aloud beginning with the start of the lecture. Another student should pick up where their peer left off. Pause between each participant to see if the student missed anything from the section they read. Give students time to add this to their notes before proceeding. The SI Leader can participate as well. Continue until you have a complete set of notes and have a short discussion in which participants can ask questions or share note taking strategies they find effective for this particular class.

Pro Tip: This can be duplicated weekly as a warm up or cool down activity with little to no prep on your end.

Pro Tip: Since students will be reading directly from their notes, don’t hesitate to challenge them to think critically. If they read a definition or concept that is particularly important, ask them if they can explain it in their own words or provide an example not given in lecture.
