Notetaking Dayz

NOW is the time to take notes on your author and their writing! Remember to take USEFUL information from your sources and paraphrase the information on your index cards. SPOILER ALERT: If you craft EXCELLENT paraphrased sentences, you will have pre-made sentences to go into the paragraphs of your paper!!!! 

Remember, if you find any NEW sources, follow the steps from last week:
1. Save to the following bookmarking site: www.diigo.com (username and password: svhs912).
2. Create a proper MLA Citation.
3. Write an annotation evaluating the usefulness of the source.
