Sometimes we need children to see and internalise new content upon which to base later learning. This might be as background, or to inform later writing or other work.

This learning might be from a PowerPoint, a video or researching on a website – and that means note-taking. But how do we help children to craft notes that are purposeful, logically structured, and easily interrogated at a later date?

At my school, we have successfully implemented using Cornell Notes – developed at Cornell University – to support children in this process.

What they’ll learn

Independence and confidence in making notes
That learning is a process, not achieved in a single lesson
How to identify relevant information
Why summarising – rather than copying – helps learning
That quantity doesn’t equally quality in our learning!

Matthew Lane is a primary teacher in Norfolk. He implemented Cornell Notes as part of research into generative learning. You can read more about this at his website.
