Students in fourth and fifth grades are using a new e-book titled, Think for Yourself: Avoiding Plagiarism to explore this complex idea. As part of the lesson, I introduced students to visual note taking. Visual note taking is a process of representing ideas non-linguistically (with pictures). Research indicates the human brain is able to retain and recall information more effectively if information is paired with pictures. For example, when you look through a photo album certain pictures may trigger additional memories and emotions. When students finish exploring the e-book, they choose a project from a menu to demonstrate their learning.
