I never hilight books, I am too attached to keeping them perfect, I like writing quotes down on paper with the page and chapter so it's easier instead of ruining the book
so its called quote analysis.. iv been trying to figure out how and what this type of studying is called. I do this when i read for fun. i just never knew what it was called. When i read long stories, i like to write down what is going on in the story at that time. Even write down all the people involved at that time also the locations, places, ect. I do this, if there are more than one book within the series. Is that call the same thing? quote analysis? or is it a different method or term?
I don't know what the term is but I do this with my books for school before the year starts. It's very helpful to summarise the chapters and write down locations, themes and feelings so that if you don't have time to read the chapter one week you have a really good idea of what you're meant to be focusing on.
Could we see a nightly study routine? 😊 it is hard for me to actually start the process of studying/homework because of procrastination and it helps me to see other peoples routines. ❤️
woaa no way ... ive been trying to take notes from the book we're reading in class but ive been trying to find a more effective way. so when i saw that you uploaded a new vid i thought it was kind of funny that we're reading the same book for class hahaha
I seriously loooove your videos, they are so helpful and it's so calming to listen to your voice :) but Sareena I really want to study medicine, It was always my dream since I am a child. But now I'm about to take my A-levels and have to study actually a lot but sometimes I "don't find the time" or I just can't motivate myself or don't know how to study or learn so much by heart :( have you got any tips for me? :( x
Hi! I know I'm not the person you asked ad you've probably got it sorted by now, but I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to ask you to hang on to your dream as you have one life and it's up to you to make it the best you can. Ace them exams and I'm sure you'll be standing behind a research table or in a doctor's coat in no time. best of luck xx
i've been annotating all wrong this whole time!!! i love how you have a key and corresponding page flags, my books for english are a disaster compared to yours!! definitely doing it your way from now on god bless u sareena u do everything perfect :'))
+Madison Blanding WOAHHH hi!!! thanks so so much and there are a lot of great ways to do smth like annotating imo! this is just the method i currently use 🔆
This is great! I honestly don't know how some people highlight in a book and it bothers me because I'm just the kind of person who likes to see clean pages and I tend to change my mind about the use of my chosen quote. But that's just me, I love your method of organization though.
I literally signed up for notifications from you on yt so I could be here when it pops up. (i was doing the challenge at that time though) im very happy with your timing, I have to do some readings today! thanks for being such an inspo!!!
This is amazing! I just started doing a Jane Austen book club and this is really helpful for me to take notes! I don't need to, but I have nothing to do until school starts! Thanks for uploading, I love your channel!
Wow this is such an organised system. Do you buy your own book for English? Our teacher gives us our books but we have to give them back so we're not allowed to write on them 😔 We're currently studying 'Of Mice and Men' ☺
Omg we were doing of mice and men last year! Cant you buy your own book so you can write anything in it? Instead of giving it back to her, you can have it all year and also keep your notes in. That's what I did. And when my brother takes the class next year, I can give him my book to help him a bit (he's a bit lazy with school work)
Thanks for the tips I always write quote sentences from my books but I never highlight which means I forget what I highlighted. This was an Amazing video 👍
I think you used the Dutch door method, but this system is almost familiar. If you are reading the book for class you borrowed, then the best idea is to create annotations version for tracking. Whereas, it will be easier refer back to the chapter without searching for a certain diction in the chapter. Overall, this is so helpful and I love this idea when you had to refer back. The Dutch door method I mention, was in Haley Cairo's video but there is two ways of using the Dutch door method.
studyign Definitley watch Haley Cairo's video it was in her best note taking method video, and another one is a video for harder classes while, using the Dutch door method in class. One favorite I like, is that the Dutch door inserts are so genius! Definitely watch Haley's videos! 😆
This is great, the public school system has never taught me or anyone I know how to notes. But they expect you to do good without the know who. Thanks 💖
I don't know where this has been during my high school summer reading assignments! I will start using this method right away with my university courses!
I really have a problem doing my English novel assignment. It always take me a lot of time to deal with. Thank you for offering such an efficient way of studying novels. ☺️
Someone stole your video... I reported it but you might want to as well the channel name is "Holding Konnie" I searched "How to take notes from a novel" and it was the second one yours was first 😔
it's still there. the fact that they left the intro and the description is odd, though, if they truly are presenting it as their own : // they have other stolen videos on their channel as well
Hello! I ADORE your videos. Yesterday, I literally watched one video and subscribed and then watched 6 other ones. I'm looking for a method to use to keep track of vocabulary while I'm reading. I hate having to search up the word after every single word I find I don't know. I also hate writing down all of the words and looking them up after reading. Do you have a system you use when learning new vocab while reading? I would really love to know.
Really useful, thanks! I was wondering what kind of typical style do you use to revise. E.g cue cards or writing notes on lined paper etc because I’m having trouble deciding which kind of style to use for my different subjects! Thanks :)
This is so helpful as my of mice and men book is basically unreadable because it's so covered with annotation, I will definitely use this system from now on!
I'm soon finisihing high school and I need to take an oral exam in biology. Can you make a video of how to study for biology or other science classes with some tips or whatever? I'm too bad at studying for stuff like this with all the informations and different diagrams and illustrations and whatever. I also need to take an exam in history and your video to that topic already helped me so much! Greetings from Germany, I love your videos!
Do you take a long time annotating when you read? The problem with me is that I read fast and I don't have the habit of annotating because it takes up too much time. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thank you!!!
Nice video on taking notes for novels. I really liked your notes taking methods videos , there are some really useful tips for note-taking. I hate scrawling details on the books itself , it takes attention away from the plot , the content , so I write down my analysis somewhere else too , though, looking at my very neat and clean novels , my literature teacher thought I was slacking , til I brought out a thick notebook that has notes written down corresponding to the numbered sticky tape attached to pages of the novels. Ahaha. Literature , I love but did not pursue. Great video , girl ! :D
I also highlight every time a key motif appears, because some books need me to be specific on repeated moments. So for instance, everytime a characteristic of melodrama of tragedy appeared, I would tag it with a yellow flag post it, and then I could see which chapters were dense with this specific motif or which characters displayed more of the characteristics. I also use it for literal motifs, so when I was doing A Streetcar Named Desire paper came up a lot, so I would tag that with a blue post it or something. Idk if that's useful for anyone tho erm
Hi , im a new follower of yours but i was wondering if you could elaborate more on taking notes from a novel?? What i mean is that could you give us more examples of what to look for in novels? For example for motifs, what kind of motifs should we look for ?
why didn't I watch this before starting The Bloody Chamber 😢 now I have a week to do my research paper and half an analysed book 😭. thanks for this though! will use it for The Handmaid's tale nxt 😄
hey I am on a project but we have to refer books from the school library so I cannot mark anything in the book but need to take some notes please help me with some tips thank you
The person above gave good advice. But if you want to do it like sareena, instead of highlighting the quotes you can lighlty circle them in pencil (so then when its time to return the book you can erase the pencil marks; even if you don't the next student will either erase it or use the quotes for their own assignments lol).
I needed this video becuz my class (7th grade) is reading this book called "The giver" by luis lowry. I think thats how u spell his last name. But anyways ima carry my staedler fineliners with me so i can annotate (cuz staedler r ma bebes)
This video is very helpful If you buy your books. I am a college girl and I am studying Humanites, and because of that I have to read many many books, novels, essays and papers - I think 50-70 per semester. That is a lot to buy, so of course I visit library very often. But your fun method to take notes is not able to do with books from library. By the way I have many finals in May and June and it is impossible to read and study 70 books and go to the oral exam well-preparated. Sooo... what is your method for this problem?I love your videos, it is very fun and helpful ;)
dang this is ingenious, especially the flip out chart that shows what you're supposed to be looking for! Thank you for sharing!! : )
wow thanks soooo much ☁️ it helps me a lot tbh 😊
I never hilight books, I am too attached to keeping them perfect, I like writing quotes down on paper with the page and chapter so it's easier instead of ruining the book
you could try underlining with pencils lightly and then erase
ITS not ruining, lol, highligting striking lines looks cool on most books
so its called quote analysis.. iv been trying to figure out how and what this type of studying is called. I do this when i read for fun. i just never knew what it was called. When i read long stories, i like to write down what is going on in the story at that time. Even write down all the people involved at that time also the locations, places, ect.

it's still there. the fact that they left the intro and the description is odd, though, if they truly are presenting it as their own : // they have other stolen videos on their channel as well
Even now it's still there.
I'm using this right now for Catcher in the Rye! By far the best technique I've heard, thank you!

+Katherine Wolinski i hope this method works for you!
do you usually annotate even if the teacher doesn't assign it?
sometimes i do! it depends on how invested i am in the book 😎
This is so helpful as my of mice and men book is basically unreadable because it's so covered with annotation, I will definitely use this system from now on!

Please do more note taking videos!! I love them so much and are also super helpful.
+Patricia Lagazon will do 👍🏽

Do you take a long time annotating when you read? The problem with me is that I read fast and I don't have the habit of annotating because it takes up too much time. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thank you!!!
Is there a particular distinction between your choice of color for the page flags?
i just read the things they carried for english too! i actually really enjoyed the book

Nice video on taking notes for novels. I really liked your notes taking methods videos , there are some really useful tips for note-taking.

Ahaha. Literature , I love but did not pursue.
Great video , girl ! :D
oMg i totally understand!! thank u sm 🐳
Can you put a list of the rhetorical devices you look for when analyzing?? I couldn't see it very well in the video
I also highlight every time a key motif appears, because some books need me to be specific on repeated moments. So for instance, everytime a characteristic of melodrama of tragedy appeared, I would tag it with a yellow flag post it, and then I could see which chapters were dense with this specific motif or which characters displayed more of the characteristics. I also use it for literal motifs, so when I was doing A Streetcar Named Desire paper came up a lot, so I would tag that with a blue post it or something. Idk if that's useful for anyone tho erm
i saw you doing this on snapchat, i love this method so much!!
