Sort a note by report role

Supplied materials

• Paper and pencil, or a browser text area. All named people/events/records are fictional learning inputs.
• Worked case: Note: two books and paper. Locator: Paper Bridges, p. 2. Need: show model parts. Listener: What did you use?
• Primary check: Note: fold the sheet. Locator: Paper Bridges, p. 3. Need: show action order. Listener: How did you fold it?

Learn the idea

Research notes should be grouped by what they contribute. Materials name inputs, procedure records actions, observations state what was seen and new questions identify unknowns.

Identify the note’s content before placing it under a heading. Keep results separate from steps and questions.

Example to read or listen to: Note: two books and paper. Locator: Paper Bridges, p. 2. Need: show model parts. Listener: What did you use? The answer is materials. The relevant input states: Note: two books and paper. This fits materials. Research notes should be grouped by what they contribute. Materials name inputs, procedure records actions, observations state what was seen and new questions identify unknowns. An untested question is not a result.

1. Read or listen to the worked example. Say what the reading or writing task asks you to find. An adult can help with unfamiliar words.
2. Identify the note’s content before placing it under a heading. Keep results separate from steps and questions.
3. Check the worked solution: materials. The relevant input states: Note: two books and paper. This fits materials. Research notes should be grouped by what they contribute. Materials name inputs, procedure records actions, observations state what was seen and new questions identify unknowns. An untested question is not a result.
4. Try the question and the practice questions. Point to the words that helped you choose before checking the feedback.

Take it further

Optional extra practice: Prepare a one-minute paper presentation from this fictional record: two books, one paper sheet; fold the sheet and bridge the books; the model held three blocks before bending. Use Materials, Procedure and Observations headings, a labeled sketch and a source note Fictional Model Record, section 1. State that thicker paper was not tested. Practice this lesson’s skill as you complete the task. Use this idea to check your work: Research notes should be grouped by what they contribute. Materials name inputs, procedure records actions, observations state what was seen and new questions identify unknowns.
