Blank Lotus Notes
Lotus notes are a wonderful tool for students to recall information.
It is a great tool for recording and representing knowledge. In the middle of each 3x3 square you record the topic in which students will be using to record information. In the middle 3x3 grid, I just write in all of my main topics that I use in the outside grids.
I like this tool because it allows students to recall information like they might in a test-taking situation before the actual test. It is a great study tool to use
