Notes __ Your notes are due by 3:00PM on Wed, 2/29/2012 on your wikispace page. __

===‍‍ 1. Choose to work in PowerPoint to take notes. In PowerPoint, create a new slide for each of your essential questions. When you are done with the note-taking step, you will upload it onto your Notes wikispace page as a file. This way, your notes are backed up offline, and your teacher will easily be able to access and review your notes. === ===‍‍ 2. As you gather answers to each of your essential questions, you will be summarizing, paraphrasing, and/or copying and pasting information from each source into the particular slide or page for the essential question being answered. Be sure to put quotes around any information directly copied from a source! === ===‍‍ 3. Each source that you use in the note-taking process should be added into Bibme; this will become your works cited page, which is a requirement for your final paper. === ===‍‍ 4. You must have information from AT LEAST __TWO__ sources for each of your essential questions. This means that you should have at least two in-text citations on each slide/page. Pay attention to the You Tube video on intext citations!!! In-text citations are an essential part of any research paper, and it all begins with the note-taking process. It is much easier to keep track of your sources with in-text citations now then to try and do it later. === === 5. The LAST slide of your powerpoint slideshow should be your current works cited page. This way, teachers will be able to check your proper formatting and use of in-text citations, as well as see that you have the number and variety of sources you need for your final product. === ====‍ //__ Please note __//// : The research process is not linear! It is natural that you will be changing and revising your essential questions as you go through this process. // ====
