Key concepts: Reading Skills: Note Making & Summarisation (Class 11 English)
Note making carries 5 marks and the summary 3, on a passage of about 200-250 words. The marks are awarded for four separate things, so an answer can be full of good content and still lose half of them on structure.
- The mark split
- Note Making 5 — Title 1, Numbering and indenting 1, Key/glossary 1, Notes 2. Summary 3 — Content 2, Expression 1.
- The title
- Short, central to the passage, placed at the top. It is worth one mark on its own, and omitting it costs that mark outright.
- Numbering and indenting
- Any consistent hierarchy will do — 1, 1.1, 1.2 or I, A, i — as long as sub-points are indented under the main points they belong to.
- How many headings
- A 200-250 word passage usually yields three or four main points, each with sub-points. Ten headings means no analysis has been done.
