Intro ...

The focused note-taking process must be explicitly taught! For learning to occur most effectively, learners must revisit their notes multiple times in a variety of ways. Every phase of focused note-taking involves inquiry. Learners must constantly ask questions of themselves, their notes, and the content.

Phase 1: Taking Notes

  • Establish a purpose & objective for note-taking.
  • Create or share an Essential Question to guide the note-taking.
  • Select the best format for the notes.
  • Learn to use a variety of formats for different purposes.
  • Write notes based on your sources.
  • Select, paraphrase, and arrange the information thoughtfully.

Educators and note-takers should consider the purpose for note-taking to determine which format will be most conducive to their objective.
