"C.D"

I've noticed some "crap" in my placement already. Students are now beginnging to use structure strategy especially in their English classes but in all classes too.Structure strategy is a way to enhance student learning. When students are reading or learning they take structure strategy notes to enhance their learning. They think more about what they are reading and compartmentalize information. They identify main structures and then identify nested (smaller) structures. They may see something as a generalization, a problem/solution, or maybe cause/effect. Their notes are detailed enough that they help learning but yet short enough that they can be useful and easily understood. Some students struggle with this because they are not used tot aking notes so they just rewrite what they are reading. Some students feel trapped because they are being forced to take notes a certain way. One girl explained that she already knows how to take good notes and gets good grades so she feels this is a waste of her time. If students are continually forced to do this will they learn to take better notes? Sometimes I get the feeling students think teachers are only teaching something because they have to.
That sometimes worries me. I want to do everything I am supposed to but at the same time I also want students to know I am trying to make learning as interactive and exciting as possible.
