CORNELL Notes

 

Shared by Miryam Hernando:

Cornell notes are a way to take notes that could also be helpful when reading or gathering info for a project.

I share here a possible template and a work sample.

You could take this small course for thinking about why to use Cornell notes and reflect about it.

This year I am using them to improve writing definitions of historical concepts and characters.

"There are many ways Cornell Notes can be used in middle school. One way Cornell Notes can be used in a History classroom is to have students use this note making strategy to identify key events and ideas in the text's chapter. History textbooks are often full of difficult academic language and vocabulary, making it difficult for students to comprehend text. Asking students to summarize the text and note main ideas and questions will increase their comprehension."
