I hope you have all had the opportunity to use Two Column Note-taking in your classes. I find it to be a wonderful tool to help students organize their thinking about specific content in readings, lectures, videos and media presentations.
You can use Two Column Note-Taking in a number of ways. Here are just a few ideas if you want to spice things up:
- Important quotations / meaning of that quotation
- Pro argument / Con argument
- Facts / opinions
- Argument / supporting evidence
Helpful hints to give students:
- Omit small, unnecessary words
- Keep the meaning clear
- Don't write full sentences (abbreviate)
- Not all paragraphs have new main ideas
- Not all paragraphs have new details
- Some paragraphs have implied main ideas and require more time to identify
- The more room you leave, the easier it is to edit
- Details should be recorded in same order as found in reading
