I have to take cornell notes on each chapter of my book. Right now I am on chapter 8. The subject is African Civilizations and the Spread of Islam. I am having troubles coming up with questions to ask. Does anyone have any suggestions of types of questions I could ask? And what questions are better than others? Just suggestions; they don't have to pertain to the subject, I just need ideas. Thanks.
