CREATING NOTE CARDS FROM YOUR RESEARCH

1.  Create one source card for each of your six (or more) sources and label them

     (research source 1, etc.) R1, R2, R3, etc.

2.  As you write note cards, label each card from the appropriate source, R1, R2, R3,

     etc.

3.  Write ONE fact, or ONE quote, or ONE statistic per note card.

4.  Put your name/English teacher’s name in the bottom corner.

(Note Card Example)

SEPARATING NOTE CARDS

*Divide your cards into 3 stacks, label the stack that you will use first in your paper A, the next stack B, and the final stack C.

*Then take each stack and try to put it in the order you think you will want to use the note cards in your paper. 

*Number each stack A1, A2, A3, etc.  Repeat the process for stacks B and C.
