Suggestions for Taking Notes:
1. Note Card Method
• Use 3x5 note cards
• Write the source at the top using proper MLA format
• Indicate the page number
• Write the context of the note
• One note only on the note card
2. Dialectical Method
• Read the source
• Turn the source over and type what you remember
• In the margin, comment on the notes you took (can hand write
these)
• If you go back for some direct quotes, be sure to track the
information properly
An annotated bibliography is a record of your sources in MLA format
coupled with a brief summary of the source in paragraph form. You
will have 9 or mote sources in your annotated bibliography. This will
be typed and turned in. Click the link for more information and a
sample of an annotated bibliography.
