Today, to help with organizing and putting like information together, students used three different color highlighters on their research notes. First, students chose one color of highlighter to highlight everything in their notes that has to do with sleeping habits of their pets. Then, they chose a different color highlighter for their eating habits and a third color for their social habits. This helps when the students begin to write paragraphs for each topic because they only have to focus on one color at a time and think of a main idea for that one topic. It also helps them so they don't leave any information out from their notes on to their paragraphs. The students are doing great and really concentrating in this heat! In the picture below the left-hand side are research notes and then on the right is part of the flapbook with paragraphs.
