Class+Scribe

Class Scribe (Classroom Roles) One way to have students work on not only summarizing key points in writing but also conveying those points by using effective speaking skills is to use the idea of a class scribe as an opening activity. One student takes notes on the daily activities of the class; that is, both teacher-directed and student generated activities. The following day, she/he opens the class with a engaging summary of the previous day’s events. This allows students who were absent to “fill in the gaps” and allows the presenter practice in condensing and delivering the key points that have taken place the previous day. When the presentation is finished and all questions answered, the presenter picks the class scribe for the following day!
