= Welcome to Ms. Kinzner's web page! =

I am hoping this will be a useful resource for both students and parents.

Each day I will post what we did in class and any homework that was assigned. I will also post links to websites that students can use as references. If a student is absent, this will be a great place for he/she to go and see what they may have missed.

Please feel free to contact me for any reason! Krkinzne@fwps.org 253-945-4730

We have been learning what good readers do and how to take Cornell Notes. I have shown the following videos in class, "Why Study History" and "Different Types of Maps" and we have taken Cornell Notes on them. [|Why study history?][|Different Types of Maps][|How to Read a Map]

There are four steps to taking Cornell Notes. 1. Taking the notes: Students are to aquire information and record it on the right hand side of their paper. 2. Making notes: Students are to make their notes meaningful. They should go back and add examples, drawings, color, associataions, etc....anything that will help them make sense of the information. The second part to making notes is to create quesitons on the left hand side that will lead to the information on the right. 3. Note Interacting: This is where the student uses the questions as a study guide to help them retrieve the informatoin on the right hand side. 4. Nore Reflecting: Students are to evealuate their own learning. Do they really know the information? Are there certain parts that remain confusing or hard? Students use this reflection to set goals for learning the information.
