The title of this post is a true question. And it's one worth asking as you observe how you take notes when reading research. There's likely a wide variety of approaches and styles people use for notetaking in our class. However, I wanted to provide you with an two additional tools. In the download provided below you can download all 5 of the articles for the Knowledge Dig 9 discussion in handy notetaking format (very similar to the general format used for the Research Alouds). In addition I've provided a one page PDF that serves as a proactive prompt to use before starting to take notes about a research article. (This one pager is shown in small format at the top of this post.)
You may want to use this Article Notetaking Cues document with every article (or none at all). At any rate, you'll want to download these at some point and reflect on whether this format, your current format, or some alternative format would help you be a more efficient reader as well as an effective reader.
