Five-Finger Summary
Get students to trace the outline of their hand on a piece of paper. Across the palm, write the central question answered by the text. On each finger, provide a key point made in answer to that question. For further development, the ‘hand’ can be cut out and on the reverse side a key piece of evidence can be added to each finger as substantiating detail for the point made.
6-Step Story
Tell students before the note-taking starts that their objective after making their notes will be to select what they consider to be the six key points that were made. Each one of these will then be summarised as the title of a separate box (a simple table of 3X2 will suffice). Underneath each title, preferably in a different colour, the substantiating evidence for the point should be included. As a final visual step, each box could then be given an associated image which can be overlaid over the box to create an ‘open-me’ display piece.
