How do you write short notes?

Short notes capture major points about a subject. It's similar to the list of ingredients in a recipe, but short notes can be longer than a few Words for each item. In a way, it's more similar to a "To Do" list or a "Shopping List", except Short Notes are usually about a school subject.

For example, if your teacher is instructing on the Civil War, you'd want to capture these points:

• Year it began and ended
• Who were the fighting parties
• Why were they fighting
• primary leaders (example, Generals)
• Major battles (as an indented list)
• Effects on citizens (women, children, non-enlisted)
• How did it end
