Power Notes

Power notes are similar to lesson

outlines, but they are simpler to

organize. Power notes use the

Power 1: This is the main idea.

Power 2: This provides details about the main idea.

Power 3: This provides details about Power 2.

and so on...

add drawings or examples to your power notes.
