The Process
Read/discuss Oedipus Rex & use the note-taking strategy; take post-test (5 pts.)

Because concept accuracy appears to be a predictor of growth, students would likely benefit from
additional activitiesones that promote increased interaction with the concepts and application of
the terms.
Poster Project: Before reading the text, students would create a poster that defines and
explains their assigned Aristotelian term.
Poster Presentation: Students would teach the class about their assigned Aristotelian term.
Results reveal potential areas for reteaching; I should review those terms that were used less
frequently or applied inaccurately in students writing.
Efficacy?
The sticky note strategy could be impractical if the teacher needs to provide/make copies
of the text for each student.
Instead, students could post their sticky notes in a writers notebook, which the teacher
could collect periodically or after reading.
