AgendaAgenda

• INM = Intro to new material– What are good Cornell notes?

picture; present to class

• IP = Independent Practice– Pick a picture

• Developed in 1949 at Cornell University by Walter Pauk.

• Designed in response to frustration over student test scores.

• Meant to be easily used as a test study guide.

How can Cornell notes help me organize my ideas? Which side for diagrams? Why use concept maps? What are the benefits to me?

Can be used to provide an outline of chapter or lecture. Organized by main ideas and details. Can be as detailed as necessary. Sequential-- take notes as they are given by instructor or text in an orderly fashion. After class, write a summary of what you learned to clarify and reinforce learning and to assist retention. Can be used as study tool: 1. Define terms or explain concepts listed on left side. 2. Identify the concept or term on the right side. Can be used to provide a "big picture" of the chapter orlecture. Organized by main ideas and sub-topics Limited in how much detail you can represent. Simultaneous - you can use this method for instructors who jump around from topic to topic. After class, you can add questions to the left side Can be used as a study tool -- to get a quick overview and to determine whether you need more information or need to concentrate your study on specific topics.

Subject: Notetaking Date: 11/20/01 SSuummmmaarryy:: There are a couple of ways that you can take notes. The Cornell method is best when the information is given in a sequential, orderly fashion and allows for more detail. The semantic web/concept map method works best for instructors who skip around from topic to topic, and provides a "big picture" when you're previewing materials or getting ready to study for a test.

How are the two types of How are the two types of observations different?observations different?

• An observation is the act of noting or recording something

• In science, we are constantly making observations and recording them

• The two types of observation are qualitative and quantitative

Qualitative ObservationsQualitative Observations

• Made using relative statements (e.g. many, few, long, short, far)

Qualitative ObservationsQualitative Observations

• Made using relative statements (e.g. many, few, long, short, far)

• Examples:– There are many marbles – There are more black marbles than blue marbles– Each marble is small compared to a basketball– The box of marbles is heavy compared to a

sheet of paper

Quantitative ObservationsQuantitative Observations

• Made using numbers and measurements

Think, Pair, Share!Think, Pair, Share!

• Think: – Using the three levels of questions strategy,

try to write two level one and one level two question

– Four minutes, on the clock

• Pair: Get a partner

• Share: Check each other’s questions

Group PracticeGroup Practice

• Each person takes two post it notes

• Label one “Qualitative” and one “Quantitative”

• Pick a picture that you can both agree onOne minute to flip and find.

Group PracticeGroup Practice

• We’re going to 2 by 2– Two minutes on Qualitative– Two minutes on Quantitative– NO TALKING OR SHARING RIGHT NOW!

• Then switch and check. (Still no talking!)• Now talk it out.• Then share it out. (Share the coolest qual

and quan your partner wrote)

Independent PracticeIndependent Practice

• Find any picture of your liking

• Cut it out

• Paste it onto page 12

• Write as many qual and quan observations as posisble… AT LEAST 10 EACH

• Remember you need to write a summary on page 13 for your notes at the bottom!
