An Example of Two Column Notes

I came across the following in a book I was reading recently.  I thought it looked like another way one might use two column notes in a classroom.

Use the following prompts to help students learn to think about what they are reading.  Have students divide their papers in half by drawing a vertical line down the middle of the page.  In the first column, ask students to respond to one or more prompts.  In the second column, ask students to elaborate on their response or answer the questions provided.  Allow students to share their responses in small groups after completing their charts.

What is important?	What is trivial?
What does the author say?	What does the author mean?
The heading for this section is	A better heading would be
The quote:	Makes me think:
The most important sentence in this section is:	Because
This paragraph	Could be summarized as
The big idea is	The details are
The problem is asking me to	The most important words in this problem are
This concept	Looks like this (illustrate):
What the character did (summarized below)	Is/is now what I would have done because
This event	Is more significant than others because
This happened	Because
I think the author has a bias	Because
