The notes can be formed through the outlining method:
The outlining note taking method uses headings and bullet points to organize topics.This method is followed by the students only .instead of question answers given by the teacher ,students themself finds their notes.Teachers must train the students in a problem solving methods.
Teachers role in preparing the notes:
Every teachers first follow same pattern of notes before framing
- What i know before( make the students to write as previous knowledge)
- Notes in bullet points from the textbook ...give them as a homework ,compel them to write the date which teacher explains in the class .it may be a proof that teacher completes the portion.
- After completing the notes give one critical thinking question and differentiated activity ( ask them to do three ways as per their achiever in order to achieve the objective of that topic )prepared by the teacher, in between the notes.
- What i leant
Students write by themself.( can see the difference of their progression)
Question answer for the exam point of view can be given to low achievers only.

Interactive Notebook:
As per this method, a notebook will have two items; The printed note pasted in the notebook and Students’ work .
The printed Note: The printed note contains the main questions in the lesson taught.This can be prepared by the Teacher and sent it to the students. The students will take a print out of this and paste it in the notebook.
Students’ Work: This would be the work of the students, done both in the class and at home. It may contain the items like,
graphic organisers,
Mind Maps,
Puzzle activities,
any visuals related to the lesson, or any other creative work of the students related to the content.
This will make sure, the students get a creative opportunity to analyse the lesson areas and come up with their own way to organise the learning.
At the same time, the printed note will make sure that students have an authentic reference source for the lesson learnt, which is prepared by the teacher.
It will avoid students spending long time on just “copying and pasting” the notes given by the teachers. Rather an opportunity will be created for them to think and organise their learning.
CAUTION: All the agents have to be explained and convinced about this very well, before implementing, students and parents.
