NOTETAKING & GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
ReadWriteThink Notetaker
This outlining tool allows students to organize up to five levels of information for reading and writing activities. During or after reading, the Notetaker can be used to organize reading notes, research, and related ideas. During the writing process, students can use the tool to organize their information in the prewriting stage and to review and structure their ideas during writing and revision.
Students can choose the format that the outline will use (e.g., bullets, Roman numerals, letters) as well as enter up to five levels of information. The Notetaker includes a tutorial, which demonstrates how to use the tool, as well as a Notes area where students can track information that does not fit into the outline. The Notetaker creates an HTML file of students’ outlines, which can be printed or saved and edited later in any HTML editor.

Tape Recorder
Why use a tape recorder for note taking? Looking up at the teacher and trying to write or type notes may often interfere with listening comprehension. When using a tape recorder students are able to give full attention to listening to the instructions during lessons. Using the built in numbered meter and pause button in the tape recorder will aid students in reviewing information anywhere anytime. It is always a good idea to request permission to use a tape recorder in class for note taking.
