Reading for Information: The Trash-'n-Treasure Method of Teaching Notetaking.

Jansen, Barbara A.

School Library Media Activities Monthly, v12 n6 p29-32 Feb 1996

Effective notetaking in student research consists of three steps: identification of key-word and related words in the researchable questions, skimming and scanning, and extracting needed information. These steps begin after students have defined and narrowed the task, constructed researchable questions, and located appropriate sources. Two sidebars provide examples. (AEF)
