U.S. Survey One-Pager Millennium High School

Transcription

1 A one-pager is a double-response (back and front of your paper in a spiral notebook that is handwritten). It is a way of making your own pattern of your unique understanding of history and the textbook. It is a way to be creative and engaged. It is a way to be brief as well as to recall a large volume of information. A one-pager is a valuable way to own what you are reading. We learn best when we create our own patterns. Guidelines: One-Pagers should be compiled in a Composition (or 1-Subject College Ruled spiral) notebook. This book should contain pages (There are 34 chapters which will utilize approximately 68 pages so there should be a few extra pages at the end of the year for additional notes). Create a one-pager for each chapter (after you have completed the reading) in a way that will resonate with you. One-pagers should follow the Cornell Style of Note-Taking. Feel free to use colored pens, pencils, markers, etc. The more visually appealing the more it will attract and keep your attention. For example, you may choose to include small pictures that help you remember key ideas. Grading will be based on completeness, format, and neatness. Directions: U.S. Survey One-Pager Millennium High School 1. Leave the first page blank this will serve as your Table of Contents. You will begin Chapter 1 on the back of the first page and the front of the second page. 2. Record: Organize chapter material by theme (explanation on the pages that follow), showing your understanding of the major historical issues, developments, and important individuals, with an eye towards the broad trends and patterns unfolding as the year goes on. Social, Political, and Economic lenses should be represented in red, blue, and green respectively. You should record your notes in this order as well (social then political and then economic). By doing this, all chapter notes will follow the same pattern and make it much easier to identify of patterns in American history over time. 3. Reduce: Identify and include key terms or people that are highlighted within the chapter and include them in your notes (these words and people will appear as bolded or italicized terms in the textbook). You may also write down possible test questions, your personal questions, and ideas or connections in the left margins. 4. Reflect: Write a short summary of the chapter at the bottom of your one-pager to consolidate the big ideas and events of the chapter into a one-paragraph synopsis. 5. Recite: Cover your notes and try to answer the questions and define the key terms that you ve listed in the margins. 6. Review: You should review these notes on a regular basis in preparation for exams and essays. You will also use them in class as a reference and for certain activities. You may contact Mr. Silverman (asilverman@millenniumhs.org) or Ms. Weisman (mweisman@millenniumhs.org) with any questions.
