on the Cornell note-taking system to familiarize yourself with the basic format. Download the Cornell Notes template attached to this assignment page. As you re-read the primary source, complete one page of notes using the provided Cornell Notes template. You should aim to include the following in each section: Notes: Use this section to keep track of details about the text you deem significant. These may include the author’s thesis statement, transitions in the argument, key terms alongside their definitions, and brief quotations that are representative of the text as a whole. Be as specific as possible when referring to the text, including page number and paragraph number. There is no need to use formal sentences; bullet points are perfectly fine.

Questions: Use this section to keep a running list of questions you have about the text itself and/or its broader significance. These may include exegetical questions about how the text ought to be interpreted or what its author means by a certain word, phrase, or section of their argument (e.g., “What exactly does Evagrius mean by passion?

Does it differ from an ordinary want or desire? If so, how?” Etc.), but they may also include normative questions about whether and how the text matters to either your own or a more general understanding of the topics it discusses (e.g., “ Evagrius is right about the passions. Should we really want to rid ourselves of all desires?

Would that not make us more divine at the expense of our humanity?” Etc.). Summary: Use this section to craft a two to three sentence summary of the text that identifies not only what it says but how it says it.

These summaries typically have the form “[Author] says/argues/claims/etc. [summary of what they say] by showing/demonstrating/performing/etc. [how they say it].” As you read the secondary source, complete another page of notes using the same template. You should follow the directions for each section outlined in Step 5.
