 INTRODUCTION

Context can help you find the meaning of words that you do not know.
There are several types of contex clues including : definations, restatements, examples,
comparations (synonyms), and contracts ( antonyms).
Note taking most commonly is used to record oral presentations; however, note taking
strategies may also be used to record note from written sources, I will discuss
preparations strategies.
 Context Clues
Are hints found within a sentence paragraph,or passage that a reader can use to understand the
meanings of new or unfamiliar word.Learning the meaning of a word through its use in a sentence or
paragraph is the most practical way to build vocabulary,since a dictionary is not always available when
a reader encounter an unknown word. A reader must be aware that many words have several posible
meanings. Only by being sensitive to the circumstances in which a Word is used can the reader decide
upon an appropriate definition to fit the context.
 TYPES OF CONTEXT CLUES
◦ Definition: The author provides a direct  (explicit) definition of an  unknown word in the  sentence. Is, are Is ”SIGNAL WORDS”
/are called Is / are known as Is defined as Means, Refers to . Example: Martha is a curator, a person who is 
responsible for looking after a museum’s  collection.  ‐Entomology is the study of insects. 
‐ Archeology is the scientific study of prehistoric  cultures by excavation of their remains. 
◦ Synonym or Restatement The author uses a word having  the same or nearly the same  meaning as another word or 
other words in a sentence. ”SIGNAL WORDS” Commas , Semicolon ; Dashes - Parenthesis ( ) Sometimes signal words or, that is, or
in other words are used. ­ Example: Carnivores, that is, meat eaters, are the top of  the food chain.  ‐ My best friend
squandered all his money; his  drinking and gambling wasted all his earnings.  ‐After seeing the picture of the starving children, 
we all felt compassion or pity for their suffering.  ‐ After a time, glaciers, or slowly moving rivers 
of ice, formed over many parts of the Earth.
◦ Antonym or Contrast The author uses another word  or phrase that means the  opposite of an unfamiliar  word  .Words used are: But,
however, although, otherwise, unless, instead of, on the contrary, on the other hand, while, unlike. ‐Mike’s parrot was loquacious,  
but Maria’s said very little.  ‐The gentleman was portly, but his wife was thin.  ‐While Luis is hardworking, his indolent brother 
spends most of the time watching TV or sitting  around with friends. 
◦ Comparison In comparison clues, the  author uses words and  phrases that have the same or 
similar meaning as an  unfamiliar word.  Words used are: like, as, similar to, in the same way, likewise,
resembling, too, also .example‐My brother is enthralled by birds similar to the 
way that I am fascinated by insects.  ‐ The stench of the old shoes was like the smell of  garbage.
◦ Example/ Explanation The author provides examples  or additional explanations or  summaries to help you 
understand an unfamiliar  word. The word is cleared up  by giving an example.
◦ Cause and Effect The meaning of an unknown  word depends on the  cause/effect relationship with 
other words in the text. 
◦ . List or Series The unfamiliar word is  included in a series of related  words that give an idea of the 
word’s meaning.  Look for a list of words ‐North American predators include grizzly bears, 
pumas, wolves, and foxes.  ‐The debris in the stadium stands included 
numerous paper cups, ticket stubs, sandwich  wrappings, and cigarette butts. 
◦ Inference or General Context The meaning of an unfamiliar  word can be inferred  (guessed) from the 
description of a situation.  The author provides non‐ specific clues, often spread  over the sentence or number 
of sentences.  Look for clues over several words or sentences ‐
The monkey’s vociferous chatter made me wish  I had earplugs.  ‐ Katie’s belligerence
surprised everyone. She  threw her book across the room, glared at Chris,  and then pushed him to the floor. 
Note taking
strategies
◦ Taking clear and effective
notes is an important skill
for all students, and
essential for effective
self-study, paper-writing
and revision—but which
method is best? We take a
look at four popular note-
taking systems and the
differences between
them:
Cornell Method:This method not only makes note taking quicker and easier, it also
serves as a great tool for memorizing and revising your notes efficiently.
How To:
Add a left-hand margin to your page (around a quarter section). Take notes in the larger
section, leaving a gap between each point. After class, review your notes, adding a cue
word in the left-hand margin for every significant bit of information. When revising,
cover your notes and use the cue word as a memory aid. The aim is to be able to recall
all the information that relates to the cue word.
Going forward, you can even use your cue words as a short-hand when taking notes,
saving you from having to recopy the same information. These cue words will also
make it easier to identify and pull out the concepts and ideas that you need for the task
in hand.
For example:
Tip: You can also use a margin method to note your research sources. This will make
creating in-text citations in apa
style or mla style much easier. These notes will
also help when creating an annotated bibliography at the end of your project.

The Outlining Method

◦ This method uses indenting to group

related points by relationship and
importance.
◦ How To:
◦ List the main points closest to the left side
of your page as headers. Then use
indentations to order the related points
underneath — with the more important
points sitting closer to the left.
◦ This method allows you to easily see
related points and their importance, at a
glance. However, it can be tricky to order
your notes like this in a fast-paced lecture.
The Mapping Method

◦ Mapping is great for those who like pen and

paper/freehand note taking, as it uses a
variety of graphic tools to link related
points.
◦ How To:
◦ Use arrows to connect ideas to a central
point. You can also use bullets, numbers and
color-coding to develop a mapping system
that works best for you. It makes it easy to
show relationship and points can be covered
over to test your memory.
◦ For example:
Box and Bullet Method

◦ The Box and Bullet Method is

pretty straightforward and
emphasizes main ideas and
supporting evidence for those
ideas.
◦ How To:
◦ A box is drawn for every main
idea. Under each box are
supporting points that are
written next to bullet points.
 Instruction
In grammar, a content clause is a subordinate clause that provides
content implied or commented upon by its main clause. The term was
coined by Danish linguist Otto Jespersen. They are also known as noun
clases. Here we present the different types of content clause that we
can use and Also we share another topic, too import for each students.

◦ Note taking is an essential learning skill for college students to implement during and outside
of class time. The notes recorded during a class lecture should be compiled of the important
facts or ideas presented by the professor. Implementing a system of note taking is important
for several reasons.
Effective note-taking is an important transferable skill,
a skill that can be applied in all aspects of life, socially,
at work and during study.
Note-taking is a powerful aid to communication, a way
of summarising and retaining the key points from what
you’ve heard and understood.
◦ Maintaining Note taking focus and recording notes from written sources
◦ Different situations call for different kinds of note taking. You probably wouldn’t choose to make
a detailed outline to capture a brainstorming session, or handwrite notes that you need to share
with five other people via email after a meeting.
◦  
◦ 1.Designate one person (not a participant) to be the note-taker at each
focus group. It is important to know roles and responsibilities in advance so
each person can prepare for the focus group.
2.Capture verbatim notes and record the conversation using a digital
recorder. Capture the conversation word for word so your notes capture
exactly what participants said. Do not summarize what people share – type
their statement in their own words.
◦ 3.Ask for clarification if you do not understand something. If someone
says something that you were not able to understand, ask them to repeat or
clarify what they said.
◦ 4.Keep time for the facilitator. Monitor the time using a watch or your
computer and tell your facilitator when s/he has 15 minutes and 5 minutes
remaining so s/he can prioritize questions and end the focus group on time.
◦ 5.Write down contextual notes about the focus group. Note impressions
or insights that describe the "feel" of the focus group or that seemed to affect
the conversation.
◦ 6.Clean your notes and add or complete reflection notes after the focus
group. Within 24 hours of the focus group, clean your notes so shorthand is
spelled out and gaps are filled in. It can be difficult to remember what people
said after 24 hours.
◦ To get the most out of the time that you spend reading, it is
essential to develop effective note-making skills.
◦ Good notes can help you to:
◦ organise your ideas
◦ keep focused while reading
◦ keep a record of what you read so you can locate it again
◦ keep a record of what you thought whilst you were reading
◦ think critically about what you read
analyse a text
◦ engage more effectively with what you read
◦ draw links to other research
◦ draw conclusions highlight areas that you need to develop
further.
 CONCLUSION
Context clues are hints found within a sentence,paragraph or passage that a reader can use to
understand meanings of new or unfamiliar words.
Context clues is not used to find the meaning of the unifamiliar word, it makes us better in
vocabulary,and understanding the other meaning also.
In this lesson , we learned effective strategies for taking notes during class lectures.  Effective
note taking is an important academic activity that helps you concentrate, stimulates your
ability to recall, and helps you the be organized.
