Faculty of Business and Economics, The University of Melbourne
Published 10 April 2022 in the

You may wish to reduce/summarise this acticle to a more usuable size.
The activity is based on the Cornell Note-taking Method.
Secondary
Students in Year 12 studying Economics.
1. Using the Cornell Note-taking Method, individually take notes on the Research Paper published in April 2022 in the Economic Record. The full research paper is here.
You are to
note the interesting facts and figures, the questions you might have,
and a summary of the article.
As this is an academic paper - the summary
of the article can gleaned from the Executive Summary and the
Conclusion. You will however need to reduce this down even further.
The example from English (below) will give you an idea of what you are to do.
2. Once you have used the Cornell Note-taking Method, you are to share with a partner your notes. Add to or delete your notes as you discuss with your partner. Explain to each other the graphs within the article.
3. Join with another pair and further discuss your findings and see if this pair can explain any queries for you or vice-versa.
4. As a pair, look over the following two articles:
Australian sporting rich list: October 2021
How much do Australian sportswomen get paid? February 2023
5.
