Supporting Students with Literacy Strategies: Increasing the Number of Completed Assignments
Abstract:
This study examines the low completion rate for in-class assignments in an American
Government course. More than half of the students in this high school course failed
one or more quarters due to not submitting or in some cases not attempting their in-class
assignments. In this study, note taking strategies were implemented and content for
the assignments was selected to be more aligned to the students’ experiences. The
strategies resulted in higher assignment completion rate and more students earning
a passing grade in this course.
