Forms of notes

You can structure your notes in many possible ways. Particular note forms suit different tasks and purposes. Through experimenting you will work out systems that you find  useful. Some possibilities include:

• linear written notes
• matrix or table
• pictorial representation
• tree diagram
• flow chart
• mind map
• time line
• key words or glossary

Whichever of these you choose for your text, you might also like to incorporate colour, symbols and abbreviations to make your notes clearer and more memorable.
