Question
Write a paragraph explaining how someone can take active notes to prepare for a collaborative discussion.
To take active notes for a collaborative discussion, start by reading and analyzing the material thoroughly. Jot down any thoughts, questions, or connections you make in the margins or on a separate piece of paper. As you discuss with your group, note any new ideas or insights that come up and write them down. It's also important to listen carefully to what others are saying and take notes on their perspectives. Consider using bullet points or diagrams to organize your notes, and don't be afraid to ask for clarification or share your own ideas. The key is to actively engage with the material and the discussion, and to be open to new perspectives and ideas. By taking active notes, you'll be better prepared to contribute meaningfully to the collaborative discussion.

Results from a scientific study done on human attention span over the course of the past two years could be evidence to support the claim that too much time spent online has reduced people's attention spans. The other options, such as a summary of a book from 1998 or the student's own observations, are not necessarily sufficient evidence to support the claim. Quotes from a blog essay may provide some anecdotal evidence, but it may not be reliable or applicable to a broader population.
