2. The timeline of the French Revolution - Let's copy this down.
3. Today, We will begin our discussion about the French Revolution. We will begin our sketch-note type notes. There will be a unit test and these notes will be handed in for marks.
The act of taking notes solidifies the events into your memory and engages your frontal lobe. There are four ways that learners intake information. They are visual, auditory, reading and writing and kinesthetic. Now in order for us to really chew on information and do something with it, we have to engage at least two of those modalities, or we have to engage one of those modalities coupled with an emotional experience. The incredible contribution of adding a doodle or a drawing is that it engages all four learning modalities simultaneously with the possibility of an emotional experience. Therefore, we have a better chance to remember this information. Let's put it to the test..!
The Assignment
