Learning is not just from the classroom, so when you need students to remember what they have learned by copying things down on their book. Using these sentences below;
"Can you copy (just) the table into your notebooks?"
"You don't have to copy everything down, just whatever you really think is important"
"The parts I have underlined/ circled will probably be in the exam, so I suggest you write those bits down"
"No translations! Copy the English explanations and examples from the board!"
"There's no need to copy this down, it's all in your books. (We'll have a look at it later)"
"I'll give you time to copy it all down later"
