Note-taking Techniques for Work and Study Skills
Note-taking is a vital part of enhancing learning in class and for revision to prepare for tests and exams. Few of these techniques will be new to your students, however many of them don't know how to use the strategies properly or which strategy suits which purpose the best. The other brilliant thing about note-taking is that it helps with critical thinking. This booklet is suitable for all year levels from Year 7 up. In this booklet, students learn how to compile, and are given examples of, the following techniques:
- Mind mapping
- Bullet-pointing
- Annotating
- Concept Mapping
- Venn Diagrams
- Plus-Minus-Interesting
- The Chart Method
Please note: This booklet is a modification of the student preparation booklet for Unit Standard 7120 Note-Taking, so if you have already purchased that resource, then you can easily adapt it to remove references to the assessment to make it generic.
