Review the following 2 examples of Cornell Notes taken from a class setting and one from a T.V. News Broadcast.
View these examples of completed assignment that earned an “A”. This is what I am looking for.
Step 2- Listen to the Lecture and Take Notes
Set up your piece of paper using The Cornell Note-Taking System and begin taking notes.
Here is a template you can use:
Step 3- Edit Notes
Immediately begin to edit your notes once the lecture is over.
Write questions in the left hand (Recall) column that go along with the notes on the right.
Begin to key words, pictures, symbols, etc. in your recall column.
At the bottom of the page, write a 3 to 7 sentence summary, in your own words, on what the notes are about.
NOTE: If you are having technical issues with the template feel free to create your own as long as it has all the necessary components or handwrite your notes and take a picture of it and attach the .jpg or .png image. Just be sure it is clear.
Google online for free clipart to add to your recall column.
