    Reading and note-taking

    notes.jpg Read the following short academic text. As you read, make brief notes on a separate piece of paper, using your usual note-taking approach. When you have completed the task, click on "sample notes" to compare your notes with the model notes given. See which approach your own note-taking method is closest to. Then, read the explanation about how you might vary your note-taking from written texts in the future.
