Unit 4

Highlighting important information in a text is helpful as a first step in taking notes. · When you read a text for the first time, read it all the way though without highlighting. · Read the text the second time. As you read, highlight main points, supporting details, and key terms. If possible, highlight each main point in a different colour. Don't highlight every sentence! A text with more than half of the sentences highlighted will not be useful! · Go back over the material you have highlighted. Make notes in the margin to help you remember what issues the highlighted information relates to.
