Power Notes
           Power Notes are very similar to outlining, but much
easier for you to use because main ideas and details are simply
assigned numbers.
          
Main ideas are Power 1 ideas, while details are
either Power 2's, 3's or 4's.
Description                                                        Example:
Power 1= Main idea Power 1= Animals
    Power 2 = Detail or support for power 1     Power 2 = Dog
       Power 3 = Detail or support for power 2           Power 3 = Collie
          P 3 = Poodle
          P3 = Labador Retriever
               P 4 = Black Lab
               P4 = Golden Retriever
As long as the facts are supportive you may
even have Power 5's, Power 6's or 15's.
    P 2 = Cat
          P3 = Siamese
          P3 = Calico
The example above is a very basic model.
