Mr. B Maisel's method (Thanks for sharing!!)

 

* Create an outline to help you determine how you are going to organize your paper

*For each section of your outline (I, II, III, IV, V) get a blank piece of paper and assign that page a section number (I, II, III, IV, V). These balnk pages with one roman numeral on will serve as the page on which you write facts that deal solely with that section of your outline.

* The page labeled I would contain facts and their citations for my outline introduction (I)

* The page labeled II would contain facts and their citations for my second section on my outline (II)

* The page labeled III would contain only facts and their citations for my third section on my outline (III)

* Do this for each page. Write only facts - not full sentences - and next to your facts you cite the source where you got the information. This makes it so much easier to write your paper! Your facts are all together, your citations are there, you are organized, and life is so much better!!!

Ye Olde Note Card Method

 

* In this situation you write facts on notecards, again including the sources of the information (citations)

* When finished with your facts you organize your information with an outline and you place your fact/notecards together in this order.
