10/30/13

Students took an open-notes quiz on the French and Indian War using the cause and effect organizer which was last night's homework.  Students who missed class must see me at an appropriate time to take the quiz.  I will allow re-takes during team time if students are not happy with their original grades.

Next, I introduced Cornell-style notes to the students. I modeled how to take Cornell notes.

Cornell note organizer

Pages 141-144

Students read pages 141-144 and took Cornell notes onto the organizer.  They took notes on the main idea into the large box on the right, then pulled out key words and wrote them in the column on the left.  At the bottom of the page they briefly summarized the entire page of notes they took.

Homework is to read pages 141-144 and take Cornell notes onto the organizer.  Attach additional paper to the back of the notes if needed.  Do not answer the questions on the second page of the notes.
