8. Quick Write
"What [summarizing and note-taking] both have in common is the notion that the student is taking what's out there – what the teacher said, or what they read, or what they observed – and they're encoding it themselves. They're putting their own translation on it. And that's the critical aspect of this category."
- Robert Marzano, McREL
Participants will write responses in their notes and share.

15. For next time … Test out your Experimental Inquiry hypothesis
Are you ready to use the summary frame or combination notes in your classroom?
Write a half-page reflection on your experiences.
What went well?
What would you do differently next time?
Be prepared to share
Tell participants they are to test their Experimental Inquiry Hypotheses.
