Instructional Philosophy
Students will learn to categorize relevant information into meaningful units through different note-taking strategies (i.e. Cornell notes, outlines, graphic organizers, etc). Students will be given information through verbal explanation, reading, and videos. Students will then take that organized knowledge and use it to participate in class discussions, write position essays, and complete projects.
