in Active Reading
(Return to Tips for Active Reading)


Here is a sample of a note card reflecting key concepts copied from margins of a chapter in a textbook. Only the key word or a brief phrase is listed on the card along with the page numbers of each passage in the chapter or text which relates to it. The circled number "82" reflects, according to the reader, the most important page among the several passages.
