1. Keep a log (in this packet) to keep track of your source information. **Give each source a number.**

2. **Number** your **note cards** to match the **number of the source.**

3. Put a **heading on each note card** that tells what kind of info is on the note card.

//4. //**Limit ** the amount of info on each note card. **Do not just copy info**. Read it, digest it, and then put it into your own words. **//This is where and how you prevent plagiarism!//**

5. **Note cards will be evaluated and graded! **
