… so how do we do that?
To start with, I expect for your notes
for my class to beCORNELL NOTES, which means that they follow
a specific format.
To start with, you need to set up your lined notebook paper the right way:
When we write, we will need to have a small space at the top for your HEADER
and TITLE and a 2 inch space at the bottom for
your SUMMARY.
FIRST, we fold the paper.There is one 2 ½ inch column (it’s okay to estimate) on the LEFT side, and a second larger column on the RIGHT side.
Now, add your HEADING and TITLE at the top.
NAMEDATE
PERIOD
TITLE OF YOUR NOTES GOES HERE
Now, we will take notes on the CONTENT in the RIGHTHAND column,
using telegraphic sentences:Telegraphic sentences means:
a. Key words onlyb. Omit unnecessary wordsc. Ignore rules of grammar
For example, if I say “The young boy in the story likes to eat fruit, especially bananas and cherries.”
you might write:
Boy eats fruit – bananas/cherries.
Questions help to:
a)Clarify meaningb)Establish continuity
(help you to make connections between material)c) Strengthen your memory.
… they also help you prepare for tests and quizzes!
After class, you will go back and write questions on the LEFTHAND side of your paper to correspond with your
notes.
You will also go back and write a SUMMARY at the bottom of the page.
This will help you to RECALL what you have
learned later on.
You’re NOT FINISHED!
RECITE (cover the right side, ask yourself the questions, answer them aloud)
REFLECT (ask yourself… why is this important?)REVIEW (spend 10 minutes a week to review all
of your notes)
Now…We’re going to review
