Through the use of various note-taking prompts and questions, students discover how to identify the important information discussed in the textbook. The Student Notebook also serves as a place for students to record their answers to review and study guide questions and log data and observations while conducting experiments and other hands-on activities. Having all completed notes, lab reports, and study guides in one place helps students stay organized so they can more easily review what they have learned and study for tests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild Writing Skills\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile using the Student Notebook, students will build their writing skills by learning to do the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentify and outline the main concepts of a passage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse the author’s style to guide their note taking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompare and contrast terms and concepts using graphic organizers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassify items referenced in the text\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummarize concepts in their own words to help them better understand what they’re reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord the definitions of key terms, building their scientific vocabulary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImprove Note-Taking Skills\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe encourage students to evaluate their note-taking efforts after each test.
