summary notes in biology
- Summary Notes help with previewing (before the lesson) the material you are to study
- It familiarizes you with the many, many difficult biological terms in a particular topic and unit
- You will have a separate notebook for your summary notes, the goal is that by the end of a topic, you will have all the knowledge, and information already organized for revision.
- Biology is a lot of drawings and pictures, and when you do them in your summary notebook, you will gain important practice.
- Literally the best thing about Summary Notes is that when you do them, you at least become familiar with the topic of study BEFORE your teacher begins their lesson; so even if it is a difficult concept, you have some idea of what is going on in the lesson and can get a better understanding of the topic.
See Mr. Dayaram for examples of Summary Notes from his students in China, who were also studying Biology in English (not their native Language).
His students greatly improved their writing, reading and overall English ability with practice, repetition and doing their own translations for difficult words.
