My Cornell Notes Series has been so unbelievably popular! I hear from a lot of you every day asking for more samples of my Cornell Notes and asking if I have a full set available for you to use. Until now, I didn't. Honestly, I hadn't considered creating a fully reproducible set!
But I have done it.
And now YOU can get it!
There is a one-page Cornell Notes page for every middle-grade ELA standard that includes vocabulary, strategies, and examples, including diagrams, flowcharts, and pictures.
I have even included pages for writing informational and argumentative essays.
Everything. An entire year's worth of notes. Already finished.
The best part is that the differentiation is built right in! Each standard has a one-pager that contains the notes themselves, and then there is a second page that is identical, except all of the key information is gone, and students have to fill in the blanks! There is also a blank Cornell Notes page at the end, so you can differentiate like a seasoned pro!
Students who struggle with writing or ELL students who are new to the language can have the full page of notes - just give them a highlight and have them highlight the important/key information!
Students who can do some of the writing can use the fill-in-the-blank page, and students who can keep up and write the entire page can have a blank sheet!
THREE different levels of differentiation happening at the same time in one classroom. Even a brand-new teacher will look like a seasoned pro, and your students will benefit immensely!
These Cornell Notes pages are typed and ready to print! You can photocopy them, share them with your colleagues, and use them in your classroom!
Here is a sample one-pager for organizing an argumentative essay (the file quality is significantly better):
And this is the STUDENT fill-in-the-blank page:
Here is another example of a one-pager for using a comma to separate coordinate adjectives that goes along with this video series from Khan Academy:
And again, here is the student fill-in-the-blank version of that same page:
This document is 55 pages long and covers the middle grades ELA standards, including reading informational texts, reading literature, writing, and grammar. There are tons of strategies (RACE, CER, SWBST, TAP, DOSASCOMP to name a few!), examples including sample poems and excerpts from plays, illustrations, flowcharts, diagrams, and pictures.
This is available for purchase for $10.99. It is a PDF file.
