The goal is to encourage students to use:

• the Cornell two-column note format.  (Note:  Teachers will introduce / review / reinforce the two-column note taking format by modeling it with chapters from the subject textbooks.)
• the SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) technique to identify important information.
