« Tuesday's Write Away | Main | Monday's Write-Place »

Note card format was introduced today. Students read over their several pages of resource materials and chose the 4 best resources. They will begin to search for facts and then copy those facts to their note cards. We discussed how to avoid plagiarism; note cards can not have more than 8 words. We are also working 'smarter not harder' to help with future organizing of information; write only 1 fact on 1 note card.
