Note taking is an activity that is underestimated. This skill is very important in our day, because it helps us to understand the world around us. It consists in receiving information and making it its own, then reworking it and making it understandable to everyone.

Teachers give their students prepared notes or PowerPoint slides, but this method is not effective because it does not improve student performance. In fact, instead of understanding the topic, they will learn it by heart for the test and the next day they will have already forgotten everything.

The best method of taking notes would be to listen to the interlocutor, in this case the teacher, and to write down the key words and fundamental concepts. This process is very personal, it changes from individual to individual.

Mainly nominal sentences with abbreviations and a low register prevail. The graphic organizers and the use of a bulleted list help to better understand and highlight topics to be expanded. The examples are essential to understand better what you are talking about.

I think that taking notes correctly is a fundamental activity that will serve, in addition to school, in a future job.
