Taking Notes on Reading 

Taking notes on reading requires the same skills that apply to class notes: observation, recording, and review.

When to take notes from reading:
       -  When you need more extensive notes than you can write in the margin of the                    text.
            -  When you are reading from a library book, etc.

Methods to use:
            1.   Outlining - works best when material you are reading is organized.
2.      Cornell method - divide paper: notes on right half, left hand column for key      words and questions, summary at bottom of page. 
3.      Paragraph form - summarize what you read in your own words, include important terms.
4.      Mind maps - diagrams/summaries of overlapping lecture and text material.

Suggestions:
            *  Style/method of note taking should vary according to the material.
            -   Short story or poem:
                        - Read the entire prose once without taking notes.
                        - Write down your immediate impressions.
                        - Reread the piece, taking notes on characters, plots, etc.
            -   Scientific/technical material:
                        - Copy important formulas, terms, etc.
                        - Recreate or note page number of important diagrams or figures.
