This is a resource designed to develop note-taking and organisational skills with IGCSE and IB History students. The resource has a word document with an exemplar template, student friendly explanation and a printable template for the Cornell Note-taking system. It can be used as a class based activity to introduce the approach or given to experienced students to use independently. There are handy pointers designed for history students but the resource can be easily adapted for any subject of age-group.
