Cornell notes are a note taking strategy that works well for many college students. There are three parts to Cornell Notes:
Part 1: Notes
The section on the right of the CORNELL NOTES TEMPLATE Links to an external site. page is where you write main ideas from the text. This is where your notes go.
Part 2: Questions
On left side of the template page, is the “questions” section. You should take notes first and then use your notes to create questions. The answers to the questions can either be found directly in the notes or they can require information in the notes combined with your own thinking. I recommend using headings in the text when available to help you create questions.
Part 3: Summary
At the bottom of the template page write a 3-5 sentence summary of what you learned. Your summary should capture the central ideas contained in your notes.
Watch and Note
Download the CORNELL NOTES TEMPLATE Links to an external site. and copy and save it to your Google Drive. Click on the links to watch the following videos. As you watch them use the template to take notes notes that describe what energy is, how it is used, and why some sources are running low. Also, take notes on how renewable energy sources might be a useful solution to issues caused by our current energy systems.
You will submit your notes as a Google doc and also print a copy for class.
