Cornell notes on Cornell notes

EXPECTATIONS:

If you are in AVID, you take Cornell notes in your core classes.

​Cornell notes must:

• be labeled with name, period, date
  
• include a page number and updated Table of Contents if in an Interactive Notebook
• have an Essential Question at the top (if the teacher does not provide it, you create it)
• have the notes from class written on the right side, using abbreviations as appropriate
• have questions on the left side, written AFTER you have taken the notes, and written at higher levels of Costa's as you progress through the year and middle school
• be chunked, annotated, highlighted, and edited as you compare with a peer and review
• have a summary written at the bottom that condenses the main points of the notes and answers the EQ (the summary can be at the top if your teacher is doing Power C. Notes or if you don't have space)
• be filed in the appropriate place in your binder
• be used as a study tool.

You can take Cornell notes on anything--a video you watched in class, a lecture, a story you're reading.....ANYTHING! I can help you turn a worksheet into Cornell Notes...you just have to show the initiaive and ask for the help!
