E. Need to change information from an encyclopedia into one`s own
F. Two ways of writing a note and their advantage |
1.
In school and out, many people need to put the information they find in an encyclopedia into words
of their own. The student who is writing a composition, the businessman who is writing a report, and
the housewife who is preparing a talk for a woman`s club often need the kind of information they find
in an encyclopedia. But no one wants what he writes to read as it were copied from an encyclopedia.
What you write should read as if it came from you.
2.
Even if you have every intention of rewriting the material in your own words, it is unwise to copy
information from an encyclopedia word for word. Instead, write brief notes to remind yourself of the
facts you wish to express. Later with the encyclopedia closed, you can expand those notes into
sentences and paragraph of your own.
3.
The advantage of note-taking over copying is that it forces you to think for yourself at least
twice-first when you are reading and second when you are using your notes. It is easy to copy a
paragraph without being sure of what it means. But to make a note expressing the meaning of a
paragraph in your own words requires you to prove to yourself that you have understood that
paragraph. Note-taking also helps you to remember what you have read. It is much easier to
remember what you have said in a note that someone else has said in a book. Even if author`s
vocabulary is easily understood, it isn`t the vocabulary you naturally think of. Putting his ideas into
your vocabulary makes those ideas yours, and yours are the ideas you best remember.
4.
Some people write notes in complete sentences. Others write notes that are phrases of topics.
For example, a sentence note on the paragraph above might be “Notes help you remember.”A topical
note for the same paragraph might be “Notes as memory helps”. Both of these are four-word notes,
and therefore either has an advantage to save time at the moment of note-taking
5.
Remember that the purpose of taking notes is always for some future use, often for some future
writing that you will do. Notes that make you think as you write are better than notes that merely help
you remember information. The thinking writer is the one who creates something new, something that
no one can point to and say, “Oh, I have seen that same paragraph in an encyclopedia.”
