Learn how to effectively take notes using the Cornell method in your United States History class. Start by organizing your notebook paper into two columns: the left for topics and questions, and the right for lecture notes. After class, summarize your notes in 2-3 sentences to enhance retention. The Cornell Notes technique, developed by Walter Pauk at Cornell University in 1949, is designed to help students improve their understanding and recall of material. Join a partner to compare notes and collaboratively fill in the main ideas and questions for deeper comprehension.
