Creating Note Cards & Taking Notes
All of your notes that you take on Alexander will be on “note cards” in a packet. Using your
outline as a guide, start researching on the headings included in your outline. For organizational
purposes, it is helpful to research in order of your outline! Remember, if the information is in the
outline, you must research it and put it in your paper. We will begin researching in class and I will
be checking on your progress.
II. Topic, A. Subtopic Source #
• When taking notes, all notes should be in bulleted form, NOT in complete sentences.
• Read the section you are taking notes from, then close your book and put the information in YOUR OWN WORDS.
Do not copy directly from your book!
• Putting information in our own words, not copying directly from the book and using bullet points (not complete
sentences) helps us not to plagiarize.
