Assignment Task:
Research Reading Journal
This research journal can save you countless hours in every college class you take! Here's how to use it:
1. Whenever you find what might be a good source, capture citation information and a brief summary and assessment. You can keep gathering sources and come back later to read them and take notes.
2. For each source, use the table to capture important information in direct "quotations," paraphrases or summaries. Save time and avoid plagiarism by including in-text citations with each bit of source information.
3. Add a brief explanation for each bit of source information, then make a note about where you think you might use this information.
4. Complete as many potentially useful annotations as you can for each source. Add more lines if you need them.
5. If you need to take notes on more than four sources, copy and paste more worksheet lines below.
6. Come back to this document as you build your outline and draft your paragraphs. Copy info AND citations!
