Left Vs. Right – What’s The Difference? • Turn to pages 2 and 3 of the notebook. • In order for people to “learn” a concept, they must not only be introduced to it and practice it, but they must be able to take that information and use it to create something else – they must implement it!
Left Vs. Right continued… • This is the foundation for the left vs. right pages • Right pages are where the information is coming in to the brain • Cornell Notes, definitions, etc… • Left pages are where the students show that they have processed information • See page 2 for ideas! THERE CAN NEVER BE A LEFT WITHOUT A RIGHT OR VICE VERSA…THEY GO TOGETHER LIKE PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY!!
