Skim. NOBODY understands everything.Do not copy word-for-word. Pretend you’re

texting. When you text, you don’t copy word-for-word. You write as little as possible while still saying what you mean.

Write only enough words to record the thought, then stop writing.

Citations—Page 1A citation is just a fancy word that means “note.”Citations tell where you got your information from. If you

don’t include citations in your research, it is easy for people to assume that you didn’t do much research. Citations proved that you really looked around for a good answer.

The easiest (and sloppiest) way to cite your work is to just give the title of the book or the URL (web address) for where the information came from.

The most professional way to cite your work is to plug the title or URL (web address) into www.bibme.org and create a citation that is respected worldwide by the Modern Language Association (MLA).

Cite everything you take notes from. If you used two books and three web sites, you need five citations. If you used six web sites and three books, you need nine citations.

Directions for making citations are on the back of this sheet.
