Description: T-Notes provide students an organized method of note taking while listening or reading.
Step-by-Step
- Students divide a sheet of notebook paper in half.
- While listening or reading, students record words or key points in the left columns.
- In the right column, students record definitions or explanations of key points.
Extensions
This form of note taking is particularly beneficial when time to review for exams and quizzes. Students may fold their papers to hide the right column. Then either mentally or by using an additional sheet, students may quiz themselves and check their answers.
