Today (Tuesday) is all about taking notes. We have two texts to choose from:
1. Sharks
What is a shark?
What are the key differences between different types of sharks?
2. Global Warming
What is global warming?
What effects could global warming have?
We have three important steps to take to take good notes:
1. Read the text, with the two key questions in mind.
2. Highlight each place where you find information that answers' one of your key questions. You can use a different colour highlighter for each question.
3. Now decide how to make notes. You can make a bullet point list, or create a table, to show what you have found out. You will make brief notes and these will be mostly in your own words.
4. The last step is to write SEXY paragraphs answering the research questions. These will be all in your own words and show your understanding of the topic.
