Sample
"T" Notes for pages 7-15
Take a look at “Sample “T” notes for pages 7-15”

column review
“Left-hand Column Review” hides the left-hand column of a
set of “T” notes concerning general purposes, topics, specific
purposes and thesis statements. See if you can tell what’s hidden
based upon what’s written in the column you can see. To make things
more exciting I jumbled the topics.
