Listen to the conversation again.

11. NOTE-TAKING STRATEGY:
THE 5 RS
Record – write down what you think is important
Reduce – summarize the record column into
manageable text
Recite – look only at your notes in the reduce
column, and try to remember the important ideas
that your notes summarize
Review – review your notes several times in
between the lecture and the test
Reflect – add personal reflections and thoughts to
make what you learned part of what know
12. PRACTICE
1) Watch/listen to the video (twice) and write down important
information in the “Record” column.
2) Work with a partner to review your notes and to complete
the “Reduce” column.
3) Compare information to the model.
4) Discuss the information with your partner. What could you
write in the “Reflect” column?
13. REDUCE COLUMN
Reduce (for recall) (write short phrases/words of what you want to remember)
Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle (KRT) > Gulf of Mexico = endangered
HOWEVER, KRT making rebound > marine researchers in TX
KRT = smallest sea turtle in the world
KRT = important part of ecosystem, around since the dinosaurs
T.E.D. (turtle excluder device) = helping turtles rebound
T.E.D traps small sea creatures but releases bigger species
Controversy = fisherman > lose some fish/shrimp
biologists > fisherman don’t waste net space on sharks/turtles
captive breeding also helps turtle rebound
