****EVERYTHING THAT YOU READ, EITHER PRIMARY OR SECONDARY SOURCE, NEEDS TO BE DOCUMENTED IN CORNELL NOTES. FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE BELOW. THIS IS PART OF YOUR NOTEBOOK CHECK!!!!

-Make sure that you put your NAME at the top of your notes, and the title of the selection that you are taking notes about.

-The key to Cornell notes is QUALITY not QUANTITY. I don’t care how much you write as much as I care you understand the MAIN IDEAS and KEY POINTS!
