If the assignment or upload will not open, keep your paper or saved file. Tell Mr. Mendoza the lesson title and what is blocked.

Start the work

Find the plan, do the work, and confirm where it belongs.

Label the Cornell zones on paper: cues on the left, notes on the right, summary below.
Read the word guide, lung-and-blood reading, and worked cue-note example.
Complete two cue-note pairs, your pathway, and a two-sentence summary.
Cover the notes, answer one cue, then check and record a correction or confirmation.
Check the full page and submit one PDF through your section. Keep your paper if upload access fails.

Question: How does oxygen reach the blood, and how can your notes help you explain that connection?

Words you will use

cue question: A question that prompts you to recall an idea.
summary: The main idea in your own words.
recall: Bringing an idea to mind without looking at its answer.
alveoli: Tiny air sacs in the lungs.
capillaries: Tiny blood vessels.
Record: Write the main ideas.
Reduce: Turn ideas into cue questions.
Review: Check notes against the reading.
Reflect: Explain how two ideas connect.
Recite: Cover notes and answer a cue from memory.
Revise: Fix a gap or error after checking.

Set up your page

Use a notebook or plain paper. Write the date and this assignment title. Draw a narrow column on the left for cue questions. Leave a wider column on the right for notes. Leave space at the bottom for a summary.

A cue question prompts you to recall an idea. A summary states the main idea in your own words. Recall means bringing an idea to mind without looking at its answer.

Use the 6 Rs: Record, Reduce, Review, Reflect, Recite, Revise.

You may revisit these actions as needed. This list is our class study routine.

Read: How does oxygen reach the blood?

Air travels through tubes in your lungs to tiny air sacs called alveoli. Tiny blood vessels called capillaries surround these sacs. Oxygen moves from the air in the sacs into the blood. Carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the sacs and leaves when you breathe out. The heart and blood vessels move blood between the lungs and the rest of the body. Lungs and blood flow work together. A drawing of this pathway shows a relationship. It cannot tell you whether a real person's lungs are healthy.

Pathway model

This text model is an original teaching illustration. The arrows show the direction of carbon dioxide movement. They do not show a measured speed or amount.

Blood in capillaries around the air sacs → air in the lungs' air sacs → air breathed out

What to notice: carbon dioxide changes location at the air sacs. Breathing out then carries it out of the body. Read the same sequence from left to right if you cannot use the arrows.

Worked cue: Where does carbon dioxide leave the blood?

Worked note: Carbon dioxide moves from blood in the capillaries into air in the alveoli.

The note answers the cue with a location and a movement. Check both against the supplied reading.

Try the decision

You need a carbon dioxide summary supported by the supplied lung-and-blood reading. Which conclusion stays within that evidence?

Carbon dioxide moves from blood into the air sacs and leaves when you breathe out.
Breathing out does not remove carbon dioxide, because it stays in the blood.
A real person’s lung health cannot be decided from this pathway model alone.

Explain your choice using the reading. Discuss it or say it to yourself. This practice does not add another submission.

Your response record

Use a separate Cornell page for your answers: cues on the left, notes on the right, and the summary below. The list here supplies prompts. Put recall and reflection responses below your summary.
