Note Taking

- Turn & Talk: How do you take notes? What strategies work best for you?
- Here are some tried and true note taking strategies (follow along in your packet for visual examples):
  - Color code your notes. Use a different color for each source.
  - Write each source's information on separate pages. This ensures you don't mix up sources & gives you space to add more notes later.
  - Create a mind map. This is a great tool for visual thinkers.
Note Taking Practice
- We are going to look at two sources about great white sharks in aquariums.
- In your journal, take notes on important ideas from each source.
- Remember to cite the source you are collecting your information from!
Practice: Source 1

- Watch the video and write down 4+ pieces of evidence that you could use if you chose this as your topic

Practice: Source 2

- Read the article and write down 4 new pieces of evidence that you could use if you chose this as your topic
