b. The Teaching Steps of Note-Taking Pairs
There are some steps in giving the treatment of Note-Taking Pairs to the students. According to Barkley, et al. 2005: 136, the procedure is as follows.
1 Students individually take notes of the major points from a body of content,
such as a lecturer or a text chapter. 2
Students form pairs, at your direction or by choosing partners. 3
Partner A begins by summarizing the main points from a section of the content to Partner B, who offers correction and additional information.
4 Partner B summarizes the next section, and Partner A offers correction and
additional information. 5
The partners continue the alternate sharing summaries, corrections, and additional information until they have completed checking their notes.
Another procedure of Note-Taking Pairs is as follows. 1
Assign or allow students to select partners. 2
Teach or ask the students to read the text. 3
Stop every 10 minutes for sharing of notes. While reading, stop periodically for a check-in.
4 Instruct students to skim their partners’ notes looking for: 1 information they
missed, and 2 information partners have incorrectly noted 5
Students retrieve their own notes and make any needed changes. Schulz, 2011
