Lesson Note

Subject: English (Writing)


Note-making and Summarizing Objective:

Notes:
Note Making basically involves noting the main points of whatever is read or
heard, as one cannot be expected to remember all that one has read.

Marking Scheme:
08 marks
5 M – Note Making
1M – Title
3M – Notes
1 M – Abbreviation (min. 4 – 5 abbreviations)
3 M – Summarising (80-100 words)

Steps to follow:
• Read the passage carefully.
While reading underline the key sentences. It will help in forming
headings and sub-headings.
• Write in third person.
• Heading
 What is the main idea of the passage?
 Frame a heading based on the central idea and write it
in the middle of the page.
 Main title should be in short.
 As a general rule, the heading should not be
abbreviated.
• Subheadings
 How has the main idea been presented and
developed?
 Are there two or three subordinate/associated ideas?
 You can frame subheadings based on these.
 You may use abbreviations in subheadings.
• Note: Do not write full sentences. Do not include irrelevant information in
your notes.

• Write the keys after completing the notes.


Help with abbreviations:
• Use standard abbreviations and symbols as far as possible:
• Capitalized first letters of words
e.g. U.P., U.S.A., U.K., U.S.S.R., etc.
• Common abbreviations
e.g. Sc. (for science), Mr., Mrs., Dr., Govt., etc
• Common symbols
e.g. , +ve, -ve, ® (leading to), ↑ (rising), ↓ (falling), =, etc.
• Making your own abbreviations:
Keep the main sounds of the word. e.g. edn. (Education), progm.
(Programme)
• Retain the suffix so that later when you are going over the notes you may
recall the full form of the word —e.g., ed’nal (educational), prog’ve
(progressive).
• Do not get over-enthusiastic about abbreviations. You should not
abbreviate every word. One abbreviation in point is enough.

Summarizing:
• Summary means to summarise or to sum up the passage in a few words.

conveyed by author. - Stick to word limit.
