You listen to the teacher's verbal cues. 

When you identify a cue, make a circle on the left margin of your paper. 

Note key words when following each cue.

4.  Draw a line through an error rather than erase.

5.  Allow extra space to add more information.

6.  Use synonyms.  (Suritsky & Hughes, 1996, pp. 305-306)

 

You use two-columns for this note-taking strategy.  Main ideas go in the left column and supporting details go in the right column.
