Principles
 
The focused note-taking process must be
explicitly taught!
For learning to occur most effectively, learners
must revisit their notes multiple times in a
variety of ways.
Every phase of focused note-taking involves
inquiry. Learners must constantly ask
questions of themselves, their notes, and the
content.

Phase 1
Establish a
purpose &
objective 
for
note-taking
Select the best
format
 for the
notes
Write notes
based on your
source(s)

Phase 2
 
Involves thinking 
about
 the notes
Should be done within 24 hours of taking
the notes
Provides opportunities for collaboration
Will get messy as note-takers revise
Focuses on clarifying content and
organization

Phase 2
Revise  notes by…
 
Identify main idea
and supporting
details by:
Selecting
Sorting
Classifying
Organizing
 
Connecting Thinking
 
 
Focused
Note-Taking
Phase 3
Ask questions
about the notes
Add original
thinking
Think 
beyond
 the notes
:
 
Make connections to
what you already know
content from the course or from
outside the course
your life or the world around you
your note-taking purpose
 
Wonderment questions
Comprehension
Prediction
Anomaly Detection
Application
Planning and Strategy
Costa’s Levels of Thinking
 
Connecting Thinking
 
 
Focused
Note-Taking
Phase 3
 
Return to the notes with an eye for inquiry:
Learning makes sense when it is connected
to what we already know, what we’ve
experienced, or how we can use it.
Learners should ask questions they really
want to find the answers to and truly want
to discuss.
 
Summarizing and
Reflecting on Learning
 
 
Focused

Phase 4
Think
about
the
notes
as a
whole.
Summarize
Reflect
What have I learned?
Capture the most important
aspects of your notes
Answer the Essential Question
How will this be useful?
Consider how the learning helps
you meet the note-taking objective
Plan where you go from here
 
Applying Learning
Use the notes for their intended purpose.
Demonstrate what you’ve learned or apply it
to a new situation.

Phase 2
 
Divide your notes into “chunks”
In the left column of your notes, write the
Main Idea of each chunk/section of notes
 
Going above and beyond!
Using the words/phrases you circled and
underlined in each chunk, write a one-
sentence synthesis statement

Costa’s Levels of Thinking
 
Add original thinking
 
As a class, 
think outside the notes
 
by sharing
questions and original thinking and writing
those in the left column and/or in text.

Individually write a Summary Reflection at
the bottom of your notes.
 
Applying Learning
 
Use the notes for their intended purpose.
Our Purpose – to demonstrate your understanding
of the 5 Phases of the Focused Note-Taking process
 
We will do this through SYNECTICS!
Synectics is the process of making unexpected
connections; a form of analogous thinking often
used in problem solving; a form of analogy.

Phase 5
 
Applying Learning
 
Explain how the Focused Note-Taking Process is like another
process. Creatively demonstrate and present the connection
(skit, poster, digital presentation, etc.)
 
For example:
create a poster showing how the Focused Note-Taking
process is like the process of building a house
perform a demonstration of how the Focused Note-Taking
process is like learning to properly shoot a jump-shot
