  1. The CORNELL WAY

  2. Take 5 Why do we teach structured note-taking in AVID? Individually list your thoughts Now as a table group, come up with your top 5 reasons

  3. Why does structured note-taking matter? Percent Retention of Material Elapsed Days

  4. Quickwrite • 1’s - What should students know about Cornell Notes when they get to your class? • 2’s – How have you introduced your students to Cornell Notes? • 3’s - How do you assess/ grade student notes? • 4’s - What could be done to increase the schoolwide usage of Cornell notes at your campus?

  5. CORNELL WAY Acronym Create format Organize your notes Review and Reflect Note key ideas Exchange key ideas Link learning Learning tool Written feedback Address feedback Your reflection

  6. Note-taking - (Create Format) O R N E L L W A Y • Create your Cornell note paper (if you don’t have pre-printed paper) • Fill in heading and topic • Write in the Essential Question of the lesson (if not provided by teacher, student should generate their own) C

  7. Table Talk • What are the benefits of the Essential Question section on the Cornell Note paper?

  8. Our Essential Question How can I teach my students the college-readiness skill of structured note-taking?

  9. Note-taking - (Organize notes) C R N E L L W A Y • Students should take notes on the right side of their paper • Use the style and organization of the notes preferred by the student or their teacher • At this time, students SHOULD NOT be writing questions or a summary • Note-taking conventions should be used O

  10. Note-making – (Review and Revise) C O N E L L W A Y • Within 24 hours students should review their notes, preferably with a partner, looking for gaps • Graphic organizers and extra information can also be added in • The Cornell Note Revision list can help during revision (HO) R

  11. Note-making - (Note key ideas) C O R E L L W A Y • Within 24 hours notes should be analyzed looking for “chunks” of material with the same main idea • Once chunks have been identified, corresponding questions should be written in the left column • “Cornell Note Questions” handout (HO) can help students write higher level questions N

  12. Note-making - (Exchange ideas) C O R N L L W A Y • Collaborate with peers to compare, enhance and refine your notes • Students can check each others’ notes using the “Collaboration Protocol” worksheet (HO) • Teachers can facilitate this process through the use of a Partner Appointment Clock (HO) E

  13. Table Talk • How do you pair up or group students for collaborative activities in your class?

  14. Note Making Practice • Review and Revise • Note Key Ideas • Exchange Ideas

  15. Note interacting - (Link learning) C O R N E L W A Y • Using the notes, questions, Essential question, students link all of this material together to write a summary • Summary • Introductory sentence – a response to the essential question • Subsequent sentences – responses to the question they wrote for each “chunk” of material • A detailed explanation of this process is given in the Cornell Note Summary Template (HO) L

  16. Note interacting - (Learning tool) C O R N E L W A Y • Students should use their completed notes to study for upcoming tests and quizzes • One study method is the “fold-over” • Notes should also be used to write questions for AVID tutorials, as well as during tutorials L

  17. Note Interacting Practice • Link Learning • Learning Tool

  18. Note reflecting - (Written Feedback) C O R N E L L A Y • Written feedback should be given weekly from the AVID teacher, tutors and/or peers • Grading needs to focus on quality as much as quantity • Some ways to provide feedback are the “C Note Rubric” (HO) or “C Note Checklist” (HO) W
