The sections are: ### Large section - notes ![Large section - notes](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2020-04/cdff789c-35fa-4f5f-8bcd-0dc73d1eea3b/Cornell-1%20(3).png) - One large section to include the main concept and processes. ### Left column - keywords/questions ![Left column - keywords/questions](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2020-04/0ce72388-ab8e-4cd2-9b1c-e78dc6ace3c8/Cornell-1%20(4).png) - A column on the left for keywords, comments and questions. ### Bottom section - summary ![Bottom section - summary](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2020-04/24c2d759-c2bc-4754-9c51-37f2bd0a55f6/Cornell-1%20(5).png) - At the bottom of the page, a section to summarise the key learning points in a short paragraph. ## Test yourself on Cornell Notes - What is the largest section in the Cornell notes system for? - What is a key element of CRAFT when it comes to note-taking? - What two strategies can improve students' note-taking abilities?
