Effective Notes: Exploring Calligrammes and other note-taking strategies

An IATEFL monthly webinar presented by Celestina Cardoz-Maury 

This session will delve into different note-taking strategies and their impact on learning outcomes, while incorporating a new and inspiring note-taking process called Calligrammes. Also referred to as patterned text, calligrammes are an exciting and innovative method of note-taking which uses a visual arrangement of words or letters to form a particular shape or image related to the content of the text.

You will be guided through a brief history of note-taking, highlighting important aspects of cognitive psychology to illustrate interesting facts, such as the better performance of students who take handwritten notes than those who type them, in addition to all the different linear and non-linear note-taking processes. Teachers worldwide will discover how to introduce note-taking techniques to their learners and reflect on the best note-taking strategies to perform daily academic tasks, as well as formal situations, e.g. standardized tests and examinations.
