Different learning situations may call for different strategies. • Sometimes you take notes while listening to your teacher in class. • Sometimes you take notes while you read (a textbook, a novel, an article, a poem, etc.) • Sometimes you take notes when watching a film, TV, or a PowerPoint presentation.

Then draw or fold about 2 inches up from the bottom to create a place for summary writing. Note: A modified version of Cornell Notes might not include the area for writing a summary.
