Interactive Notes
The intent of interactive notes is to have a "student" side (left) and a "teacher" side (right). This is taking Cornell Notes (Cornell Notes coming soon) a step further by allowing the teacher to assign Student Activities or quick writes to students and have them be near their notes (example of students activities for the left side coming soon).

The intent of Cornell notes is to have an organized system of notetaking. Cornell Notes have a couple of key features... 1. Title + Date 2. Essential Question (EQ): this is a question that the teacher constructs and students should be able to answer by the end of the lesson. 3. Costa Questions: When students ask questions, these are written in the left-hand margin. If your class is new to Cornell Notes, teacher should write questions in the left-margin. As the class gets better at questioning, the students should start writing their own questions. 4. Answers to Costa Questions: Should be found to the right of the question in the notes section. 5. Summary: As students write notes (or at the end) students should be looking for answers to the EQ. They highlight anything that will help answer the EQ, then use their highlighted work to answer the question in 2-3 complete sentences. For beginning classes, it might be best to highlight with students, and give them examples of how to structure their answer. Samples: 2013 Roush Algebra 1 Cornell Notes Videos: |
