<b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;"><u>GUILDS FOR EFFECTIVE NOTE TAKING IN THE CLASSROOM</u></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Below are the guilds for effective note-taking in the classroom:</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Come early to the classroom </span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Keep your writing materials close</span></b></li>

<li><b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Don't talk while taking note</span></b></li>
</ol>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Okay, I will explain each of these points below to give a clearer and better meaning of them. So, lets get going!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1.<b><span style="font-size: large;"> Come early to the classroom:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In other to be able to take note effectively in the classroom, you must concede that <b><i>coming early to the classroom is very paramount.</i></b> In fact, it is fundamental because without it, other guides listed here, will not be practicable.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Coming early to the classroom has a lot of benefit to a student who want to improve or take good note in the classroom. <b><i>First is that it helps to keep the student relaxed,</i></b> before the teacher comes in. More so, it gives the student the opportunity to get his/her writing materials prepared for taking note in the impending teaching. So you see, this point is apparently inevitable for an effective note taking in the classroom. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. <b><span style="font-size: large;">Keep your writing materials close:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another <b><i>paramount guild to help improve effective note taking in the classroom, </i></b>is to make sure that the need writing materials are always close to you. <b><i>This is to help you follow up the teacher when he/she starts teaching.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is advisable (if you are in the classroom), to take your notebook and pen out of your bag, keep them on your desk or anywhere you will feel comfortable, and prepare your mind for the teaching. Though this might sound trivial, it is capable of causing you take an <b><i>inconsistent and incoherent note in the classroom.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 3. <b><span style="font-size: large;">Listen to get main point:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You will agree with me that, it is not everything that a teacher says during the course of his teaching, is actually part of the teaching. <b><i>Because it is quite impossible to write as fast as the teacher is speaking</i></b>, it is thus pertinent to note only the main points in the teaching. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though, this might be difficult. But it can not be overruled. You must be able to get the <b><i>main points during the teaching, and note them down. </i></b>This will go a long way in improving your note-taking and writing skill.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 4. <b><span style="font-size: large;">Use Abbreviations and acronyms:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The use of Abbreviations and acronyms is another great way to improve effective note taking in the classroom. This is because they help you save much time and stress. Take for instance, when your teacher say something like; <b><i>The West Africa Examination Council is an Examination body.</i></b> You can instead note that "<b><i>WAEC is an examination body".</i></b> Yes, it seems shorter and easier right?  </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That it how the frequent use of abbreviations and acronyms can help improve effective note taking in the classroom. However, it is also essential to use <b><i>standard abbreviations or acronyms</i></b> so that others will be able to <a href="https://www.learnersinfo.com/2018/06/When-is-the-best-time-to-read.html?m=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">read and understand your notebook.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 5. <b><span style="font-size: large;">Know when the teacher is making an instance/example:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When taking note in the classroom, you must be able to tell whether or not the teacher is<b><i> joking, teaching or making an instance of a point he raised. </i></b>Note that during note taking, it is not important that you write down all the <b><i>instances giving</i></b> by the teacher in the course of his teaching. However, if you feel it is very important, then you can carry on. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Your ability to<b><i> tell what the teacher is actually doing</i></b>, it very paramount, as it will save you from the danger of writing down redundant information the teacher stated while teaching.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. <b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Don't talk while taking note:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because note taking is a conscientious activity,<b><i> it is advisable not to talk while taking note in the the classroom.</i></b> This is because when taking note in the classroom, you are inversely doing two different tasks together (I.e <b><i>listening and writing</i></b>). Thus, there is an increase in the tasks, if you add talking to the tasks you are already performing.<b><i> And believe me, it will be more difficult if not totally impossible to do all these things at the same time.</i></b> So, talking is not advisable during note taking.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Final words:</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><i>N</i></span></b>ote taking like i said previously, is a very conscientious and tedious activity that has been a problem to students all over the world. However, <b><i>I Am optimistic that this article, will to a large extent; solve this problem.</i></b> All i recommend every student reading this to do, is to put the above points into practice. And for sure, there must be an increase in your <b><i>note-taking skill.</i></b></div>
