TAKING NOTES WHILE READING (RB, 75)Five-step procedure:
• SKIM to get the rough idea of the content (title, introductory paragraph, pictures?)
• SCAN to spot the essential: underline the main points (key words, topic sentences)
• GIVE HEADINGS (identify main idea of each pg)
• GROUP PARAGRAPHS (how many parts of the text? headings, subheadings?)
• READ TO ESTABLISH LOGICAL RELATIONS between parts of the text ↓
STRUCTURE!(Logical relations are expressed by signalling devices)
RB, p 76
Example text – identifying the structure using signalling devices
Free trade is a policy in international markets in which governments do not restrict imports or exports…
There are many arguments for allowing free trade among nations. Firstly, it allows specialization and it will lead to greater productivity. Secondly, it provides greater choice, better quality and lower prices…

Conclusion...
Benefit from work already done TACKLE EACH PARAGRAPH SEPARATELY:
1 NUMBER the paragraphs
2 SCAN each paragraph and underline the essential, key sentence(s), words & phrases
3 GIVE A HEADING to each paragraph(Why is it here? What is unique about it?
What does it contain that cannot be found in the rest of the text?) BEEN THERE – DONE THAT
3a Identify the subheadings in pg 7
Piece of cake!
→ Take notes on WHY ECONOMICS?
HEADINGSInformed voting – civic dutyImpact on personal lifeChief interest of economicsScarcity of resourcesCareful allocation of resourcesResearch topics in economicsScientific tools and methodsDiscovering an objective reality?Obstacle: clinging to familiar theoretical conceptions
SUBHEADINGSObservation Economic analysisStatistical analysis Experiments
4 SUMMARIZE THE TEXT IN NOTE FORM
• read paragraph headings again and establish relationships between main ideas
• organise the main ideas visually
(Chronological organization? Cause-effect?
Problem-solution? Claim-illustrations-conclusion?)
• use a clear visual layout and symbols, bullets, abbreviations(lists of symbols and abbreviations → RB, p 76)
For example:
Why economics? (SPACE IT OUT!)
1 informed voting (civic duty)
2 impact on personal life (quality)
Chief interest of economicsScarcity of resources → Careful allocation of r.
Scientific tools and methods... pls. continue
HOMEWORK: expand the notes by adding necessary details and examples HAND IN!Get ready to talk about Why economics?e.g.
Why economics?
1 Informed voting – civic duty- govt. budget- legislation- tax and foreign trade policies
2 Impact on personal life- choosing occupation (impact on earnings)- ... pls. continue
REMEMBER! The actual order of paragraphs in the text need
not necessarily be reflected in the structure of a summary!
For example, ideas and info on...
“PROBLEM - CAUSES OF THE PROBLEM - SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEM”
…may be dispersed throughout the text, in different paragraphs!
It is your job to group the bits of informationand ideas to convey the main points!
