  1. Writing a Research PaperPart 1- Source Cards Christina Powers English Teacher Osceola High School

  2. What Are Source Cards • They are 3x5 index cards (you can also use notebook pages, a word processing document or database document) on which you put all of the information you will need about all the sources you use.

  3. Why Do I Need Them? They will help you to: • identify the sources of quotations and ideas for citing your sources later (giving credit to your sources). • find sources again if you need them. • make your works cited (a list of the sources from which you used borrowed material in your project).

  4. How Do I Do It? • Once you find a source, immediately write a source card. • Use only one index card per source • Number each source • The first source would be labeled #1 • Follow the MLA style (orange sheet)

  5. Sample #1
