NOTES:
Remember that paraphrasing means to summarize a source’s (author’s) words AND ideas by putting them into your own words. Ask yourself, How would I explain this information to my friends or family? Failure to paraphrase effectively is considered plagiarism.
When quoting someone from a source who is not the author of the source, remember to include that person’s credentials (what makes him/her an expert?).

6. FINAL INFORMATION
If you are absent any day this week you must continue to work on the information/note cards. This will count as a test grade and we cannot move forward without completing all of our information/note cards. All note cards should be placed in order and contain source/cover cards. They should hand a rubber band around them and labeled with your name on them. This will all be done in class. You will receive a week, which is more than enough time. If you do not complete the assignment in class you must complete it at home.
