Students
need to understand what is involved in note taking. Teachers will need
to stress the importance of plagiarism. Cut and paste photocopied text
either from books or internet is definitely not permitted.

here to view an example. When
students have found the information they require there are many
different ways they can record it.
This is part of the Note taking process.
The type of notes
students take will depend on what information they are collecting and
how they want to record it. For example if they are recording a series
of events they might use a timeline.
If they are comparing the features of different animals
they might use a matrix.
If they are describing how something is made they might use a
flow chart.
Each of these
frameworks needs to be taught explicitly to children so that they know
when it is most appropriate to use that format.
The chart below
may assist students in deciding the most appropriate format to use for
their task.
