NOTE-MAKING

Advanced Reading Skills


What are notes?

• The function of notes is to filter the important information and


help us retain it.
• It also makes it easier for us to refer to the important points in
future.
• It transforms the entire set of information into a manageable size.
• It includes the key points which make it more readable.
• It helps in better understanding of the concept.
• It aids quick revision during exam time.
Mechanics of Note Making

◦ While making notes we follow certain


standard practices. These are:
(a) Heading and Sub-headings
(b) Abbreviation and Symbols
(c) Note-form
(d) Numbering and Indentation
Heading and sub-headings

◦ The heading reflects the main theme


and sub-headings point out how it has
been developed.
◦ The selection of proper heading and
sub-heading reveals the grasp of the
passage.
◦ In the absence of proper understanding
Abbreviations and symbols

◦ They are used for precision and


economy of words.
◦ At least four recognisable abbreviations
are to be used in note-making in your
board examination.
◦ These are mandatory components of
note-making.
Note-Form
◦ Information to be listed in points only.
◦ Notes should not be written in complete sentences.
◦ Only the main points are listed one under the other.
◦ Use of figures, letters, dashes and spaces to arrange
information.
◦ All examples and figurative speeches are eliminated.
Numbering and Indenting

“What is this passage about?” This will provide you the gist.
Step 2 : Identify main ideas and important supporting details.
Step 3 : Make notes of the main ideas under headings and add sub-points
under sub-headings.
