It can be hard to take notes, though. Sometimes it is hard to decide what the most important information is. Sometimes it is hard to know how to take notes without just copying what the author said. Learning how to take notes takes time. That's why you are practicing it in second grade.
The first thing we learned about taking notes is that notes can be quick. You do not need to write full sentences in your notes. You might not need to use capitals at the beginning (unless you are writing a name) or punctuation at the end.
The second thing we learned about taking notes is that notes need to be written in your own words, not the words the author wrote. When you write sentence notes, you take the information you read and change it so that it is your own writing. If you copy what an author said, you put quotation marks " " around the words to show that someone else said it.
We also learned two forms for taking notes - with bullets and with a "mind map."
