3. Why is this happening?
-To better accommodate for the different
learning styles of each student in this class
-To use class time more efficiently
-To allow you to work at your own pace
-To avoid listening to me talk
-To develop practical skills you can use in
the real-world, college, and beyond***
4. New Expectations
1. You MUST do your homework. Failure to do your
homework will result in point deductions. I also
will not help you unless you’ve already watched
the video before class.
a. Watching the video at home or during your
free time and taking notes in notebook. Notes will
be graded.
2. Use class time efficiently.
3. Still responsible for completing the
assignments/projects by the specified deadlines.
4. All other classroom policies are still in effect.
5. Be respectful at all times (no putting others down
if they are not working as fast as you are).
5. What You’re Going to Do
1. Watch a video by Sal from Khan
Academy (or another YouTube Video) at
home or during your free period.
You can access these videos by going to
www.khanacademy.org. (YouTube
helps, too!)
2. Take notes while you’re watching the
video
3. Come to class everyday prepared with
notes, textbook, packet, pen/and pencil.
6. How to Take Notes
Use your reinforcement notebook or binder.
Write the title of each topic on top.
1. Create a t-chart
2. Write what he writes on one side and
write what he says on the other. (DO NOT
write what he says word for word!
SUMMARIZE!)
3. Pause and rewind as necessary.
4. Highlight sections that you find confusing.
5. At the end of each topic, summarize the
skills you’ve learned.
