Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Record key information in an organised notes section
Represent a relevant idea with a supporting picture
Synthesise notes and visuals into a brief summary
Teaching tips
Choose one shared text or presentation and model how a key fact belongs in the Notes section rather than the final Summary box.
Use the Pictures space for a diagram or visual detail that adds information to the written notes.
Complete the Summary last, drawing only on the information already captured in the two sections above it.
Skills covered
Note organisation — written information is collected in a dedicated section before summarising.
Visual representation — learners add pictures that correspond to the information they recorded.
Summarisation — notes and visuals are condensed into a shorter statement in the final section.
