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.

Historical Context Revision Notes

Historical Context Revision Notes
Grades: √ + (18pts), √ (14pts) or √- (10pts)

The bullets below will help you to revise your historical context when it comes time to write the paper. Everybody struggled with these issues and is working through them, so check in with your classmates and improve together.

Issues to Think About When Revising Your Historical Context:

• Please write chronologically; tell me the story IN THE ORDER THAT IT HAPPENED
• This should be essentially a summary of Foner Chapter 11
• No quotes needed
• Entrenched: (v; past tense) To have established an attitude, habit, or belief so firmly that change is very difficult or unlikely.
• Many of you developed the economic entrenchment but did not deliver anything on the political, legal or social entrenchment
• LEAVE THE MORAL ARGUMENT OUT- its irrelevant to the this part of the paper. Abolition and slave culture do not have a place in the historical context. 
• Capitalization, grammar, choppy sentences.
