Note Cards: Direct Quotation, Summary, Paraphrase

To review: the bibliography cards that you actually use in your research paper become the Work Cited Page of your research paper.

The notes you are working on become the seven (or more) pages of exposition for your research paper.

Your notes should be a mixture of direct quotation, summary and paraphrase. Remember to write only one idea per card. Include the author's name and page number on the card. The rest of the information is stored on your bibliography cards.

Twenty note cards are due Friday, but you may turn in up to 40 cards (total) for extra credit.

Bibliography Cards, Note Cards Due

You should have turned in 10 bibliography cards by now. Although you will only need 7-8 sources for your research paper, it's good to have some wiggle room.

You will now begin take notes from each of your sources. Write one idea per card. Use as many note cards as necessary. You may take a lot of notes from some sources and a few notes from another. (You may need to buy note cards.)

Due Friday: 20 note cards
