Read: Eric Foner, Chapter 4, “The Great Awakening” p. 158-161 ; packet distributed in class.
Task: Annotate as you read and complete Cornell Notes. Guidelines provided below
Due: Tuesday, October 9, 2012
*** You should also be completing a study guide for Chapter 4, as our exam is on Thursday, October 11th.*** Study Guides should follow the format suggested in Exam Announcement post on 10/3
Annotation Guidelines:
1. Read FIRST, then annotate
2. Write one annotation note per paragraph. I recommend annotations that summarize each paragraph.
3. Your underlining/highlighting should be the line, sentence or quote that SUPPORTS your annotation summary.
4. DO NOT highlight until you have read the entire paragraph. Once you have read the paragraph, then you can go back and select the items that are worthy of being highlighted for later reference.
5. Identify any words that may be key vocabulary terms or words that you need to look up
6. Developing your own annotation system is acceptable and encouraged (ex: green highlight = vocabulary; blue highlight= important people; [brackets around a sentence]= thesis or big idea; *star= this was discussed in class)
Cornell Notes Guidelines:
1. Read FIRST, then decide which ideas to record in your Cornell Notes
2. The size of the space that I have provided for you should indicate to you how many or how few notes you should include.
3. This is where you should record details that support the heading. Your readings will be collected in class, so these notes will your primary reference for class discussions.
4. As we progress through the year, you should get better and better at identifying which details are worth recording for later reference.
