Topic, Main Idea / Central Idea, Supporting Details: Improve Student Responses!
If your students are anything like mine, teaching them that a main idea / central idea is “what the passage is mostly about” just doesn’t cut it. This method of explanation yields weak student responses that typically only feature the passage’s topic, not the true main/central idea. After years of experimentation, I’ve stumbled on a method of teaching main/central idea that seems to do the trick. If taught carefully, deliberately, and repeatedly, students learning to find main/central idea can u

I created this version of Cornell Notes for two reasons- I found that my students needed larger lines to write in and I felt that students might also benefit from an unlined template.
This download contains these two versions- the lined version uses grey lines (a lot easier on the eyes!) as well as a blank version.
