Power 30 Task Page Template

The task page is initiated by introducing an essential question. This is where students can embed notes, handouts, and resources in order to organize material in a central place and then reflect on it.

This is the question used by students to guide thinking and frame note-taking in order to accomplish an authentic task.

There is a five-phase note-taking process that can be used and adapted for various note-taking purposes and that embraces a variety of note-taking formats.
