Model Source Cards
Assign each source a different letter of the alphabet
which you put in the upper right-hand corner.
Then list the source in MLA format just as you would list it in your
bibliography.

Source A "How Much Is Just
Enough?" Time 03
Apr. 1989: 17. |
|
Source B Cliff, Eleanor, and Rich Thomas. "It's
Sacred - But is it Smart?" Newsweek 17 Apr 1989: 7. |
Model Note Cards
As you take notes from each source, put the same
letter on the note cards that you assigned that source on your source
card. Below, the "A" tells
you that these notes came from 03 Apr 1989 copy of Time while the
"B" tells you that those notes came from the 17 Apr 1989 copy of Newsweek.
Put the ideas into your own words. If you wish to quote something or you have
statistics that you must cite, copy the material exactly as it appears in the
source and include the page number where it was found. It is a good idea to put quotation marks
around it to remind you that you should quote and cite that material.
