Note Taking Overview

"In this history course, you will begin to learn a very important skill: note taking. "The purpose in taking notes is three-fold: First, it helps you to understand, organize, and remember the material you are reading. Second, when you need to review and memorize information from your book, you can easily scan your notes, instead of reading the textbook all over again. Third, if you need to write a history summary or report, you have well organized notes to help you. "There are 2 main points to remember when taking notes:

1. Keep them organized by using titles, headings, and sub-headings 2. Take note of only important/relevant and interesting facts "

Use titles (underlined) for the titles of each major section of the chapter. In All Ye Lands, the titles are in large red font. Use headings for the sub-sections. In All Ye Lands, the sub-sections are in a brown font. Use sub-headings for the main topic of each paragraph. "For titles and headings, always use the key words. "Next, write a subheading for each paragraph. Use key words from the topic of the paragraph to name the subheading. These key words are usually found in the topic sentence, but not always. Next, take notes of any important details which follow, especially terms and definitions which are written in bold. The notes you take should be in outline form, using key words. Keep them short and succinct. Use abbreviations and short hand where possible. "Heading Paragraph 1 – subheading, mark with roman numerals Point 1 from paragraph Point 2 from paragraph ""This week we will focus on note-taking, and the following worksheets will walk you through the process. "Let’s begin with chapter 2 of All Ye Lands, “Prehistory: Beginning Man’s Story”. """""""""

The Infancy of Man "Read page 21 of All Ye Lands. "How many paragraphs are there? _________ "What is the title of the section?

This week, you are going to be taking notes on the first section only. This section goes from page _______ to page __________. "How many sub-sections (written in brown) are in this section? ____________________ """"""""""

Note Taking Sample "

Infancy of Man "- prehistory like childhood - can’t remember before 4 yrs old "- no memories infancy, use parents’ mem. - stories, clues: photographs, old baby toys, etc. "- life mankind – periods we can remember, periods we can’t - remember periods – written records, 3500 yrs before Christ, called “history” - prehistory – period of no written records "- B.C. – Before Christ – count the years backward -A.D. – Anno Domini – “In the year of the Lord”


Prehistory of Mankind "Now you are ready to take notes on the first sub-section of the chapter, “The Prehistory of Mankind”, which goes from p. 22-23. Write your notes on the gray lines. Remember to use key words. "______________________________________ <- subtitle (brown words) I. _____________________________________ <-paragraph 1 topic sentence " ____________________________________________________ <-point 1 " ____________________________________________________ <-point 2 ""II._____________________________________ <-paragraph 2 topic sentence " ____________________________________________________ <- point 1 " ____________________________________________________ <- point 2 ""III._____________________________________ <- paragraph 3 topic sentence " ____________________________________________________ <- point 1 " ____________________________________________________ <- point 2 ""IV._____________________________________ <- paragraph 4 topic sentence " ____________________________________________________ <- point 1 " ____________________________________________________ <- point 2 ""V._____________________________________ <- paragraph 5 topic sentence " ____________________________________________________ <- point 1 " ____________________________________________________ <- point 2 "


Prehistory of Mankind "How did you do? Are you just about brain-dead after this activity? It wasn’t so bad, was it? When you take notes, keep in mind there are no absolute wrong key words. Some words are more important than others, but as you get the hang of this skill, you will easily learn to figure out which these words are. You will learn to discover the key points that need you need to engrave into your memory. "Sample: Here is a sample of what your outline should look like. Compare it to your outline.

Now let’s take notes on the next sub-section (p.23 – 25). This part has definitions. The first definition is done for you. Study it and see which key words are used. Be sure to use some abbreviations! Then fill in the outline. "_____________________________________ <- subtitle (bown words) "I. Scientists who study prehistoric man: 1.

Old and New Stone Age "

Since this sub-section (p. 25) is made up mostly of definitions, you don’t need to make key word outlines of the topic of each paragraph. Fill in the following outline.

"________________________________________ <- title of sub-section "- prehistory divided into 3 ages: ___________________________ ____________________________ _______________________ "- Stone Age tools made of ____________________________ "- Bronze Age tools made of ____________________________ "- Iron Age - _________________________________________ lasted from ____________ to __________ "- Stone Age divided into 2 parts:

III. Used stone well: <-paragraph 3 topic sentence - sharpen other stones, spear tip, <-points

- stone knife to cut animal hides � clothing - pierce animal bones � needles to sew "

Notice that you should not take notes for every point or fact. Just pick the most interesting points, as well as the points that you think are the most important. Sometimes you can combine a few sentences into one point. With time and practice you will become an expert at knowing which information you really need to take note of.

Note Taking Review and Tips "

1. Keep in mind the subject matter of the section that you are reading about. "2. As a general rule, use the following lay out:

Key words of Section (This should be underlined.) Key words of Sub-section - Paragraph 1 – topic sentence key words/topic of paragraph - Point 1 - Point 2 - Point 3 (if needed) - Paragraph 2 – topic sentence key words/topic of paragraph - Point 1 - Point 2 - Point 3 (if needed) And so on…. "

3. Read the entire paragraph before taking notes on it. Take notes one paragraph at a time.

4. You will generally find the topic of the paragraph in the topic sentence. "5. However, this may not happen if a story is being told, or if the author is taking his time

getting to the main point. For example, look at the last paragraph of page 27. It begins like this: "

Yet, the most stunning example of early man’s artistic nature is a mysterious and lovely treasure, found in the darkness of the earth. "

The topic of the paragraph is “cave-paintings” but this key word is not used in the topic sentence. You may not realize this is the topic until you read further into the paragraph. Nonetheless, “cave-paintings” is what you should use for your topic of the paragraph. This is why you should read the entire paragraph before taking notes on it. "

6. If a paragraph is short, or if 2 or more paragraphs in a row are about the same topic, you can put your notes on them under one paragraph heading. "

7. When you take notes on the body of the paragraph, you decide on the most important and interesting points. You will get better at this with practice. "

8. Sometimes you can combine a few sentences into one point. "9. Use abbreviations. Make up your own for key words that come up a lot. For example,

you could use C.P. to stand for cave paintings. "10.Be sure to take note of italicized words, or words in bold.

They use irrigation to farm large areas of land. 4000 BC - The Sumer establish powerful city-states building large ziggurats at the center of their cities as temples to their gods. 3500 BC - Much of lower Mesopotamia is inhabited by numerous Sumer city-states such as Ur, Uruk, Eridu, Kish, Lagash, and Nippur. 3300 BC - The Sumerians invent the first writing.
