Taking Notes while Studying a Poem – making poetry simpler to understand – tips by Alok Mishra

1 week ago
At times, poems may pose a difficult challenge in front of students of literature, be it Hindi, English or literature…
Taking notes is an essential part of a student's life. In the classroom, a seminar, a workshop, while reading a book, listening to an online lecture, or thinking something randomly, ideas worth noting can knock without notice. Are we always ready? In this article, I will share the best methods students of English literature can use to take meaningful, distinguishable, reusable, easily searchable, and helpful notes. Students of literature in any language may find this article helpful as well. Quick takeaway: Notes are not some random lines, words, facts, or items we write in our notebooks (or on the books). Notes are the most important things we find in books, a lecture, or a discussion, and we must put them down likewise – by making categories. Now, we will discuss the art of taking notes while interacting with different kinds of text – poetry, novels, plays, essays, letters, critical writings, and research papers.
