Strategies for Success: Note-Taking, Routines, and Organization Ms Strategies for Success: Note-Taking, Routines, and Organization Ms. Cochren: Language Arts

Cornell Notes Help you to interact with our lesson. Stress main points you should remember. Keep you organized. Allow you to create your study guide while we are learning rather than at the end of the unit. Can be used to quiz yourself!

Cornell Notes Can be created on your own for any of your classes. Can be created by a teacher and used during lesson instruction. I will provide the left-hand column questions, and we will fill in the notes/answers together!

My Notes Layout Question Column Record Column --2 Inches-- I will provide the questions of key definitions and concepts in this column. Record Column --6 Inches-- We will then discuss and write answers in together. Since most of our lessons use the LCD projector, you will not only hear the answers, but you will also see them !

To set up your own notes… Question Column --2 Inches-- After the lecture, write questions in this column for each main point in the record column. Record Column --6 Inches-- Record patterns of main idea and support in your own words when possible. Use indentations to show the relationships between main ideas and support.

Record Column Write main ideas and supporting material in the right column – Use signals from the lecture Titles & keywords= topics  main ideas “Transition” words/phrases introduce patterns of support and/or details First, most, some, this is called, there are two types Use abbreviations to get the full idea. Leave spaces between ideas so you can fill in more later. see how ideas relate to one another

Question Column Write questions in the left column of your notes to quiz yourself on the material. Write questions in the question column on the same line as the item the question addresses in the record column Write a question for each new Topic Main idea Significant detail Write questions for details on which you think your professor will quiz you.

Study from your notes… Answer your questions in the left column. Cover or fold over the Record Column. Read your questions in the Question Column Using your own words, answer your questions out loud. Uncover your notes and check what you have said against the notes. This will help transfer ideas to your long- term memory!

Review Review to improve your memory. If you spend 10 minutes every week or so in a quick review of your notes, you will retain most of what you have studied you won’t have to cram during an “all- nighter” you will relate the facts and ideas to present lectures or readings.

Example Here is the text. In the “Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” there are four main characters – including one that may mat really exist. The first and most important character is Ichabod Crane. He is an ambitious schoolteacher, who hopes to marry the second character, Katrina Van Tassel. Katrina is the handsome daughter of a wealthy farmer. The third character is Brom Bones. He is Ichabod’s rival for Katrinia, and he is also well known for his practical jokes. The fourth and final character is the frightening, ghostly figure of the Headless Horseman, who terrifies Ichabod into running away. But Irving strongly hints that this might simply be another of the characters in disguise.

Here are the notes: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow – 4 Main Characters Ichabod Crane Most important School teacher Wants to marry Katrina Katrina Van Tassel Beautiful daughter of wealthy farmer Brom Bones Also wants to marry Katrina Well known for practical jokes Headless Horseman Scary ghost Scares Ichabod away Might be another character [Brom?] in disguise 1st character? Job? Interest? 2nd character? Description? 3rd character? Interested in? Likes what? 4th character Real or not? Scares who? Might be who?

Note-taking Tips Keep a separate notebook or binder for each course. Take one notepad to classes and then put notes for each specific class into binder @ home You wont’ loose your entire term of notes Notes for each lecture should begin on a new page. Date and number all pages. Never use a sentence when you can use a phrase, or a phrase when you can use a word.

Note-taking Tips Use indentations to distinguish between major and minor points. Put most notes in your own words, except formulas , definitions, and specific facts Use abbreviations and symbols wherever possible. If you completely don’t understand an idea, leave a blank space and ask your professor for help on it.

Note-taking Tips Develop a code system of note-marking to indicate questions, comments, important points …for example, Mark unfamiliar vocabulary & unclear ideas in unique ways Highlight vocabulary in pink. Circle ideas that are still unclear Make sure you can understand what you have written and if needed, make corrections. Use drawings, arrows or other organizers to help you see concepts and relationships between them

Strategies for Success What can you do to help organize yourself for a successful year? 1. Use your planner every day. 2. Use Aeries each week. 3. Organize your binder. 4. Empty and restock each week.

Planner Use Record all homework in your planner. Check off work as you finish it. Highlight or circle missing or incomplete work. Have an after-school and week-end routine with your planner.

Aeries Online Grades Check your individual grade entries and comments several times a week. Email your teacher right away if there is a problem. Remember, not all work is worth the same amount of points. Understand how your grade is calculated!

Organize Your Binder You may use your school binder for language arts. Label each class with a tabbed section. Create a homework tab. You can put all homework for all classes in one spot! Create a home tab. Place all graded work, permission slips, and parent handouts there!
