Note Taking and Summarising Graphic Organiser

Note Taking and Summarising Graphic Organiser
, Not Grade Specific,

Note Taking and Summarising Graphic Organiser divides one page into Notes, Pictures, and Summary sections. Learners can capture key information in words, represent important ideas visually, and then condense the combined material in the summary space. The labelled sequence makes the relationship between gathering information and synthesising it visible without prescribing a particular text or subject. Each area remains open enough to accommodate different amounts of written and visual information.
