Your notes should include a basic summary of the material. As you read and take notes, try to answer these questions: What are the main ideas? Why does the author consider them important? Why does the author express them in this way? Additionally, develop a glossary: for each reading, keep a list of the words you have to look up in order to understand the main ideas.
