Cornell Notes
Where did Cornell Notes originate from?
According to http://www.nmt.edu/study-skills/308-cornell-note-taking-system, Walter Pauk created Cornell Notes to help his students better organize their notes. This note-taking method is widely used in classrooms across the US today.
What’s the big deal?
Some of our students do not know where to start when taking notes. If they learn how to use Cornell Notes, then they will better understand their notes and learning. Also, if we teach it in school, then they will be prepared when they go to college.
How to get started?
There are several different ways to write Cornell Notes, but four parts it should include is the notes, cues, summary, and objective. The objective or essential question is what the lesson is about for the day. The notes are from the lecture and are concise, and they should have spaces between each concept. The cues can be questions from the notes, key points from the notes, or diagrams from the notes. The summary ties all the notes together, and it should be the main ideas of the notes. A summary can be used as the exit ticket, too.
This can be used with any subject, but sometimes it is a little harder to see how it is used with math. Here is a math example-
