NOTE CARDS
a card with notes on it (Meriam-Webster Dictionary)
THE NOTE CARD SYSTEM
When you are faced with starting a research paper, the most
important part of researching and beginning to write
is ORGANIZING the information and your thoughts. If you are not
organized, it will take considerably more time to write the paper.
To make it easy on yourself, you can use an index card system as
you gather information. With this method, you categorize the
information you find by topic. For each topic, you could have any
number of cards from several different sources. Later, as you write
your paper, each card topic becomes a body paragraph
(supporting idea) in your paper.
RESEARCHING
As you find interesting facts about your topic during your
research, you should write them down. Each sentence or idea that
you find should be paraphrased (summarized in your own words),
and written on a card. In order to keep your ideas in order, and to
remember where you found the ideas, there are four items that
you should include on the index card.
