Notes

Whenever you are working on any tutorial in CA you should be taking brief notes in your CA book on things you think that are important and should remember. If you don't have your CA book then write on a half page (don't be crazy and take too many though) of clear paper for now.

Make sure you add titles to help you organize your notes. For example, in all CAPS write MS WORD at the top of the page and draw a box around it. Then under it, write in smaller text MS Word Tutorial 1: Essay and underline it. Then neatly write your notes under the title and feel free to draw diagrams and pictures if needed to help you remember. Remember to write at least half a page of notes for each tutorial.

Cornell Notes are a requirement in the English department and strongly suggested in all high school classes. Watch the creative Cornell Notes' overview video (do not take notes) and then watch the basic video explaining how to take notes (take notes any way you like on this video) and make sure to include the 5 R's below.

Next, look at the paper layout below and notice that the left column is about one-third the size of the paper and the header and footer are about horizontally 1/5. Now open your CA book notes and create a similar layout and draw straight lines. For all future notes, you need to use any colored marker to write the headings of the notes.
