2. How to Take Notes: The Outlining Method
General Information:
Place major points farthest to the left.
Indent each more specific point to the right. More general information is located closest to the left margin of the paper with specific information moving outwards to the right.
Outlines are most useful for material that is presented in a well-organized way and material that moves from main ideas to detail.
Sometimes bullets or numbers are used to make a distinction, but this is not necessary as long as indentations have been made.
You may want to leave spaces between sections or main ideas to further separate the topics.

3. Example

4. As You Read:
When outlining there are always “indicators of importance”
What do you think these may look like?
Bold
Italics
Underlined
Different colored font (this is usually used for vocabulary words)
Don’t forget captions, graphs, charts, etc.
You can always include an extra section at the end of your outline for “extras”

5. As You Read
Read a single paragraph once all the way through and then read it again to outline.
Since we defined the vocabulary prior to outlining, there is no need to include the definitions in your outline unless you want to. Just be sure to not lose your vocabulary work. 
