Each of your notecards needs these five components:

1) Topic/slug (top left corner): a general category of notes content; these are used to
organize body paragraphs
2) Source # (top right corner): number coordinating with the order of sources onWorks
Cited page
3) Note of information (body of card):
a. Remember a health balance of paraphrases, direct quotes, and summaries.
b. One idea per card
4) In-text citation with page number (end of note in body of card): ALL note types
need a citation, even summaries and paraphrases!
5) Label of P, Q, or S (bottom right corner)
a. P = paraphrase in your words, Q = someone elses words in quotation
marks, or S = summary in your words
b. You need a healthy balance of all three in your research paper.
