Notes and More Notes

Itancan taking Cornell Notes from an
article of personal interest.

When we go to college, we will need to take notes.

This week we learned how to take "Cornell Notes."

You have to find details that are important. 

They go on the right. 

Elijah found it helpful to type his
Cornell Notes and put his document
side-by-side on the computer screen.

Then you have to find main ideas for the details. They go on the left.

It is up to you if you want to use a Google Docs template on the computer to type your notes, or you can use paper and a pencil.

Everyone has their own preference, but the format is the same.

Tre elected to use "good ol'fashioned" pencil
and paper to take notes.

After you take down details and write main ideas, you have to write a short summary. This goes at the bottom of the page.

The summary is two or three sentences that answer the question, "In your own words, what did you learn?"

We also saw a couple of videos. Cornell Notes can help you study for a test, too.
