Getting it Down: Note taking

Getting it down: Note Taking
Note taking is not my favorite thing to do, so I am always looking for new and better ways to do so. In this chapter and begins by stating was instructors or teachers can help students take better notes by setting students up for notes by being well organized and present the information in a orderly fashion.
I also read some of the fascinating Note taking procedures that I never really thought about such as:
• date and label
• organization
• skipping lines
• leave space
• elaboration
• paraphrase
• circle
• underline
• Cover notes and study.
Note taking in English:
• Students can learn how to listen carefully and write skillfully.
• The note taking process dictoglos is a good practice. The students are aloud to listen carefully twice, collaborate with one another than, reenact what they heard.
Note taking in Math:
• Outline framework
• Give the students the vocabulary words necessary for the lesson
• Define the prefixes and suffixes
• Define the word itself
• Construct a problem
• Work out the problem
Note taking in Science and S.S. :
• Split –page method
• Self-questioning
• Using notes within class, after class, and before class.
• Research grid
