Cornell Notes:

How do I use Cornell Notes? To take cornell notes, you start in the Notes section. You write down what your hearing in class, lessons, or notes from textbooks. You want to write down everything right away so you remember, and then go back to the Key Points and Themes section. This is where you write down just a few words to organize your notes more. After you finish Notes and Key Points and Themes, you write a summary of what you learned with your Cornell Notes.

Cooperative Skills: 1.Break tension and be friendly. Make sure everone feels comfortable. 2.Learn and use names.Calling someone "Hey you!" is not polite. Calling someone by their name is respectful. 3.Arrange desks properly.if the desks are arranged a certin way you can work with the class better. 4.Use posotive body language.Be posotive and look posotive so you don't bring someone down. 5.Be aware of eye contact.look people in the eyeso you can hav easier conversations and understand each other. 6.Listen to others and share ideas.Sharing ideas makes you have more options, and you get more things to think about. 7.Use posotive comments, encourage, and express appretiation. 8.Be helpful and assist each other. 9.Disagree in an agreeable way. Dn't say someones idea is wrong, say you have other ideas. 10.Stay on task. Focus and pay attention so you don't miss any thing.

Reflections: Break tension and be friendly, because if someone is uncomfortable, they are less likely to share ideas. You want people to feel welcome to share ideas. You also want introduse yourself and talk a little about yourself.
