Notes in Mr. Henry's classes are based on Cornel Style Note taking as described below:

1) Divide the note paper into four sections as shown below:

2) In the top section put your name, the date that the notes were taken, your class name, and the title of the notes (Mr. Henry will give you the title)

3) In the large box take notes, definitions, copy useful pictures, write down explanations given during class, and anything else that is mentioned during the lecture that is important.

The next two steps occur at HOME on the same day as the lecture. 

4) This is the most important section of the notes. It is here where you organized the ideas and definitions that you were given in class into a form that helps you remember what the lecture was about. Fill in the left side box with terms that organize the notes that were taken in the large box on the right. This is similar to section headings. You may use lines to point to ideas that are related. You may write anything in this box that will help you remember what the lecture was about. If when going over your notes you discover something that is not clear or you have trouble understanding you may use this section to highlight the parts you are having trouble with, and then you can ask Mr. Henry about those things at the next class meeting.

5) The bottom section is for a one to two sentence summary of the lecture.
