This AVID strategy of layering focused notes is the perfect instructional routine to display for any class in any subject area! Layering is a strategy that clarifies the second and third phases of the focused note-taking process by asking students to revisit their notes multiple times, thinking critically with a different purpose in mind.

Why layering?

Each layer added to the notes is completed in a different color, so a student’s interactions are visible to the instructor and to the student. This not only allows the instructor to assess the quality of the student’s thinking and interaction with the content, but it also solidifies learning about the process and the content itself. Additionally, the use of color enhances retention for visual learners.

Instructional Goals

Students will:

• Add layers of thinking to their notes to process and connect their thinking.

• Use colors to show their repeated interactions with their notes.

Materials needed

If taking notes on paper, students will need a variety of colored pens, colored pencils, highlighters, and markers to use for the note-taking layers.

Directions

• Provide time for students to complete each layer by adding to their notes with a different color.
• Work on one layer at a time. Consider whether developing learners need more structure or fewer components to add during each layering session, compared with more experienced note-takers.
• Have students keep a key to indicate what color is used for each layer (they can make their own key or use the example.)

This social emotional learning lesson uses Sandra Cisneros's short story Eleven. During this SEL lesson, students read the short story, view a YouTube video, and reflect on their own stress responses. There are journal entries and opportunities for small and large group discussions as well.

This resource includes:

- links to all relevant materials

- an engaging Google Slides presentation to follow

- a lesson guide which lays out each step of the lesson along with timing

- a self-graded Google Form test

This resource could easily be used by a substitute.

This lesson has always been a favorite of my middle school students. The topic is enlightening for kids who have felt stress responses without understanding what is really happening in their brains and bodies (pretty much all kids). Eleven is a fantastic story to use when learning about stress response because readers are often frustrated by the way the main character responds to the stressor she faces. This is a great way to integrate SEL into an English class.

Calling all future foodies and sequencing superstars! This recipe-based learning activity is the perfect recipe for educational fun.

• Sequencing Savvy: Students become sequencing superheroes as they follow the recipe steps, understanding the crucial role of order in achieving culinary success (and beyond!).
• Learning Through Play: This hands-on, interactive activity makes learning exciting and engaging for students of all ages.
• Adaptable Awesomeness: The activity is perfect for file folders and can be easily adjusted to suit different learning styles.

This isn't just about yummy treats – it's about building valuable skills!

• Mastering Order & Structure: Students gain an essential understanding of how following steps in sequence leads to delicious results (and can be applied to other areas of learning!).
• Boosting Confidence: The joy of creating their own food fosters a sense of accomplishment and boosts confidence.

Transform your classroom into a culinary haven of learning! This recipe activity is a surefire hit that will have students begging for more
