- One fact per card - Paraphrasing means YOUR OWN WORDS and CHANGING SENTENCE STRUCTURE - Make quotation marks obvious for quotes, and make sure your notes are WORD FOR WORD if quoting - Put a subtopic/main idea at the top of every card (this is your "slug") - Put the author, article title, and date at the bottom of EVERY CARD

Please go through the Avoiding Plagiarism tutorial below, and refresh yourselves on Paraphrasing with the link below. Your guiding statements ARE NOT due today, but you do need to read the bottom of page 4 in the APA book and make an attempt, and we will discuss in more detail when I return. Also read page 8-11, and look at the file "5 Note Cards" above, and we will go over the note-taking process when I return. If you complete all of this in class, read through your research. If you do not have printouts of your research, be sure to bring printouts with you tomorrow. Avoiding Plagiarism Tutorial Paraphrasing example
