This I made from the Social Studies lesson
on the Increase of Spanish Power (no plagiarism was
intended but this one follows fairly close to the lecture) |
James and I continue to grow in our home schooling experience. I have enjoyed having him home and being more involved in his education and how he learns. He has limited Executive Functioning skills, like a lot of kids with Autism. One of the main deficits James has is note taking. It is difficult for him to listen to a lecture, organize the information, and write at the same time. One of the ways I have helped him with this is to listen to the lecture before he does and create "guided notes." These notes take the information and leave spaces for important words to be written in. This does several things. First, it removes the problem of a blank page that needs to be filled up with the wise words of the lecturer. Second, it keeps him focused because he has to follow the lecture more closely. Third, James remembers the information because he is getting it through many different avenues. I have asked his charter school to contact the company that makes the curriculum to see if this can be part of their program for next year. Happy Note Taking!!!
