Enhancing Learning with Cornell Note-Taking Method

1. Cornell Note-Taking

2. How does this support the Common Core Standards? • Common Core Standards (CCS): • 1. Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. • 2. Determine a central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text, including how it emerges and is shaped and refined by specific details; provide an objective summary of the text. • 3. Read and comprehend nonfiction texts, with scaffolding as needed.

3. History of Cornell Note-taking: • 1950’s – Walter Pauk • Education Professor – Cornell University • Focus on metacognitive strategies and inquiry • Wrote How to Study in College

Bloom’s New Taxonomy • Original Terms New Terms (Students performing actions) • Evaluation •Creating • Synthesis •Evaluating • Analysis •Analyzing • Application •Applying • Comprehension •Understanding • Knowledge •Remembering (Based on Pohl, 2000, Learning to Think, Thinking to Learn, p. 8)

5. Remembering: The learner is able to recall and restate learned information. • Recognizing Retrieving • Listing Naming • Describing Locating • Identifying Finding

6. First & Last Name Class Title Period Date Topic Questions, Subtitles, Headings, Etc. Class Notes CCS: textual evidence “Remembering:” listing, describing, retrieving “Remembering:” identifying, naming

7. Understanding: The learner grasps the meaning of information by interpreting and translating what has been learned. Summarizing Paraphrasing Classifying Comparing Explaining
