Use your notes to make specific claims you develop throughout your writing REFERENCE THE SOURCE THAT PROVIDED INFORMATION INSIDE YOUR TEXT Read the research and determine the most important elements to consider PLAN THESIS AND CLAIMS IN-TEXT CITATION WORKS CITED PAGE LIST ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION – on a separarte page – THAT IDENTIFIES YOUR SOURCE
ANNOTATION Highlighting and Notetaking • READ your resources, determine the most essential points – summarize in the margins. • EXAMPLE: Living doubled up (with family/friends) increases chance of homelessness People who live with friends or family due to economic need are considered “doubled-up.” Doubled-up people have an elevated risk of experiencing homelessness. In fact, prior to their entrance into the homeless shelter system, the most common living situation for adults in families is living with friends or family. As reported in The 2010 Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress (2010 AHAR), 30 percent of all homeless shelter users and 44 percent of adults in families who use homeless shelters were doubled up prior to entering the shelter system. Using that data and census reports on living situations, risk of homelessness was calculated for people living doubled up. Over the course of a year, the odds of experiencing homelessness for a person living doubled up are estimated to be 1 in 12.
From Notes to Claims, AS IN TEXT CITATION: Assume one of my claims is “Living doubled up increases risk of homelessness” THEIR WORDS… BECOME PART OF MINE: • There are many factors that contribute to being homeless and many groups that are at risk. Among those groups are people who the government refers to as “doubled up”. Doubled up people are those who live with family and/or friends because they have suffered some economic change and cannot afford to be on their own (SOH 2012). The risk involved with people living under these circumstances stands at about 1 in 12 (SOH 2012). AND SO ON… People who live with friends or family due to economic need are considered “doubled-up.” Doubled-up people have an elevated risk of experiencing homelessness. In fact, prior to their entrance into the homeless shelter system, the most common living situation for adults in families is living with friends or family. As reported in The 2010 Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress (2010 AHAR), 30 percent of all homeless shelter users and 44 percent of adults in families who use homeless shelters were doubled up prior to entering the shelter system.
