Paraphrasing Using Voice Notes
Paraphrasing helps students comprehend and retain information.
Using WYNN's Voice Notes is an invaluable tool when working on
this learning strategy.
The following exercises, which require you to show students how
to record a Voice Note, can help students to improve
comprehension:
When students have trouble remembering homework
assignments, have them repeat the directions verbally using Voice
Notes. This enables you to ensure they understand the oral
directions.
Ask students to paraphrase or explain difficult information they are
going to be tested on using the Voice Notes feature in WYNN.
Paraphrasing helps to ensure their understanding and mastery of
the material.
When learning new vocabulary, encourage students to read the
definitions of the new word in the dictionary and create a sentence
using the new vocabulary word in Voice Notes. Verbal repetition
and sentence use supports vocabulary growth.
Creating a Text Note
Text Notes can be added to a document to provide information or
key instructions about a specific passage of text.
