Today I decided to face the fact that my student need help with note-taking. I have put off dealing with it while we dealt with more pressing needs. I decided to jump into note-taking today. I quickly created some Cornell Notes forms in Microsoft Word and printed them out. They worked well even though my students seemed a little overwhelmed by the process. Note-taking is a vital study skill as students get older, and it will also help to deepen their comprehension.
I decided to come home and create some cuter forms though. I decided I would rather have ones that look a little different for each subject. So today I have a freebie for you. It includes Cornell Notes templates and writing paper for Science. You can get it here through Dropbox or at my TpT store.
I also made some Writing Paper to encourage content writing in Science. It includes a planning page with a web and paper that has a place to utilize the Writing Strategy RAFT (Role, Audience, Format, Topic.)
I hope you find it useful. I figure if we are going to use note-taking in multiple subjects the graphics will make it easier for them to distinguish which notes go with which classes. How do you take notes in class?
These are great, thanks for sharing! I'm your newest follower!
