Now let’s change sentences to ideas . . .

Change dictation into notes:

Studies on worldwide literacy* rates show that almost 80 percent of the world’s population over the age of 15 is now literate. This includes more women than ever before.

*Literacy = ability to read

One way to write this info

Studies ww literacy rt = almost 80 % world pop over 15 yrs now literate

+ grtr # of women than bef

Change dictation into notes:

UNESCO’s study shows a drop in illiteracy from twenty-two and four-tenths percent of the world population in 1995 to twenty and three tenths in 2000.

One way to write this info

UNESCO’s st shows fr 22.4% ww pop in ’95 to 20.3% in 2000

What important information is missing? What is the decrease in?

The LITERACY rate INCREASED – the drop was in the number of people who CANNOT read – the ILLITERACY rate dropped.

Another way to write it.

WW literacy rates

- almost 80% of ww pop 15+ yrs - literate

- more women than bef

- illiteracy 1995 2000 22.4% (ww pop) 20.3%

Remember Use•Key words•Space•Headings•Abbreviations and symbols•Complete ideas•Quantity!

Benefits of Cornell Notes

• Your notes are organized • You review your notes every day• You can quickly and easily identify

key terms and concepts. • Your lecture notes become a study

guide to help you prepare for the exam.

• Try the Cornell Method of taking notes for a few weeks and notice the difference!

• You don’t have to be a genius to take good notes. All that you need is a good work ethic and consistency.

• read the textbook again!• If you take good notes, you may not

have to read it again.• Highly organized notes are crucial!

• One reason for this is a lack of awareness of the fact that the numbers of the elderly have - and will continue to - explode rapidly. The elderly population in the year 2000 was triple that of 1970. By 2025 this figure is expected to double again to be as much as 8 - 10 times the numbers of 1970.
