Think about this. . .
We learn with all five our senses. What does this mean?
The purpose of this lesson is to help students learn or re-learn another method of notetaking. Students will be able to explain how using graphic organizers can help them learn and organize information; which can improve their memory.
This lesson will allow students to explore their own learning styles and make connections between how they learn best and how to use graphic organizers.
Teacher will ask students to reflect and share their verbal responses to the statement: We learn with all five our senses. What does this mean?
Teacher will explain how just viewing these three boxes can help shape the way students are processing information.

Be a Better Listener
The way to improve your listening skills is to practice "active listening." This is where you make a conscious effort to hear not only the words that another person is saying but, more importantly, try to understand the complete message being sent.
In order to do this you must pay attention to the other person very carefully.
You cannot allow yourself to become distracted by whatever else may be going on around you, or by forming counter arguments that you'll make when the other person stops speaking. Nor can you allow yourself to get bored, and lose focus on what the other person is saying. All of these contribute to a lack of listening and understanding.
