Getting it down: Making and taking notes across the curriculum

I have never been taught how to take notes in the school environment. I am an avid notetaker. I take notes on everything. Notetaking is consistently changing for me as I continue discovering myself as a learner. I observe how my fellow classmates take notes, I observe how my teachers set up powerpoints and I make up my own notetaking strategies. I think that it is an awesome idea to teach students how to take notes because most people have no idea how to design their notes in an effective manner and it ends up being a bunch of words on a sheet of paper. Some of the strategies that were in the book I have never heard. I wish I had known this strategy when I had to do my research papers during school. This strategy seems like an amazing way to organize ideas and supporting details while reading. I found this chapter to be a very good resource for teaching students different notetaking strategies, but I have found it hard to really think of any thought provoking conversation from it.
