The best order for determining what to include in notes, based on a logical approach to note-taking, would be:

  1. Watch and listen for clues.
  2. Look for keywords.
  3. Identify the main idea.

This sequence starts with observing the context (watching and listening for clues), then pinpoints specific terms or phrases (keywords), and finally synthesizes that information into a broader understanding (the main idea).

So, the correct statement to enter into the graphic organizer would be:

  1. Watch and listen for clues.
  2. Look for keywords.
  3. Identify the main idea.
