For students it's really important to learn how to take notes in an effective way.

If they don't have this skill they would face some difficulties when they will leave school and go to university or to work because they will never learn it and they will take this lack for all their life.

Note taking is an useful activity only if it becomes meaningful for the students, if it represents to them an important ability to reach or to improve.

For example, a note taking activity is well-done when someone understands its importance and tries to do his best to reach a certain level of this new skill they are using.

In this way they will try new methods, new ways to organize their notes, new abilities to improve their skill.

It is also very important that the student reorganizes the annotations himself, using his own method and his own knowledges to achieve the notes that work the best for him.

Through this work the student can also understand in a better way the quotations and the materials contained in the annotations and he can work on them in a better way, understanding the most important parts of the text and highlighting key-words and other fundamental aspects of the text he is working on.

Therefore note taking is a very important skill to achieve that will help you to reach your goals and to learn a new ability that will become useful in any part of your life, in every situations and at every age.
