To take active notes in preparation for a collaborative discussion, start by reviewing the discussion topic and jotting down any initial thoughts or questions you may have. During the discussion, listen carefully to others and take notes on important points or arguments being made. This can include taking note of key examples or facts discussed. Additionally, taking note of any questions you have for clarification purposes or potential counterarguments can be useful.

make this a little less formal

To actively take notes before a group discussion, first think about the topic and jot down your ideas and questions. Then, during the chat, listen carefully and write down any crucial points and examples. If you have any questions, write them down too. Lastly, look over your notes and consider how they fit into the conversation. This way, you'll be ready to contribute to the discussion and share your thoughts.
