Why do we take notes? 0 We remember more when we write things down. 0 Teachers share information that can’t be found in the
textbook. 0 Studies prove that a person forgets 50% of a lecture
within 24 hours.
0 Teachers are always saying “write down only the important information.” How am I supposed to know what is important?0 In a history class the following things are
important:0Know what happened, when it happened, and
who was involved. 0Know why it happened. 0Know why it happened in a certain way and not
in other ways.0And know what the significance, consequences, or
results were.
