Note-making Under Headings
Overview
Note-making rewards a skill you will use for the rest of your studies: reading a text, deciding what actually matters, and writing it down in a few clear words under the right heading. The exercise gives you the headings; your job is to find the points that belong under each one and record them briefly. It sounds simple, yet candidates lose marks by writing too much, putting a point under the wrong heading, or leaving out the one word that makes a note mean something.
This lesson teaches you to do it cleanly. You will learn to read the heading as a precise instruction, to pick only the points that answer it, to strip a point down to note form without losing the key detail, and to spot the difference between a real point and a repeated example. We model each move on short, realistic texts, contrast a weak set of notes with a strong one, and finish with a full note-making task marked the way an examiner marks it.
Objectives
- Select the points in a text that belong under each given heading.
- Record each point briefly in note form rather than as full copied sentences.
- Distinguish main points from supporting examples and repeated detail.
