Day 1

2. What are Cornell Notes
Cornell Notes are way to organize your notes typically used in college.
When you are given a lot of information quickly (a lecture) or you need to process a lot of information (reading a textbook) you need a way to organize your notes so that you understand them, and you can study them later.

3. CN or DJs? THEY BOTH HAVE LINES!
The difference between Cornell Notes and Dialectical Journals is what you are doing with the informational. In a Dialectical Journal, you “dialoguing” with the text, or you are analyzing the text.
In Cornell Notes, you are looking for information, or fact- finding.

During a lecture don’t use complete sentences. Use abbreviations and short hand. If you are taking notes from a book, don’t copy full sentences, again use short hand and abbreviate, but also try to summarize and capture the main idea and put ideas into your own words as much as you can.
For this assignment today, write in complete sentences, but still try to use your own words to capture what you are reading.
