Build Writing Skills 

The Student Notebook includes tips for writing good notes and helps them build their writing skills. 

Students will learn to: 

  • Outline main concepts of a passage and list the minor concepts under the main ones.
  • Use the author’s style to guide your notes. If the author defines a term, make sure you include that definition in your notebook.
  • Compare and/or contrast two things using diagrams.
  • Classify items referenced in the text.
  • Write notes in your own words instead of copying text word for word. This helps you as the student make your own connections to the ideas you’re learning. 
  • Look up and define new or unknown words to help you build scientific vocabulary and better understand what you’re reading.
