Abstract
Abstract The significance of this literature review is to examine the current beliefs and practices that bring scientific literacy into the classroom through writing in science and multi-modal representations. Areas of student intellectual abilities and cognitive processing skills are also examined. Through this review of the educational research, a pattern of significance emerged that supports the implementation of multi-modal guided note-packets in the science classroom. After a thorough review of the research findings, this paper will highlight the beneficial, and sometimes adversarial, effects of using multi-modal representation in enhancing and exploring scientific literacy and practice, while acquiring note-taking skills.
