I LOVED the reading for today. It was probably the shortest reading that we will have all year, but is also a very important reading. I have had to do many research papers for my past English classes and I found that it was very helpful to organize the paper through the notecard method described in the book. It will be very easy to write your annotated bibliography if you make a bib notecard for each source when you first look at them as this reading describes. I also thought it was interesting how the reading stated that you should become an expert on your subject just by finding your sources. From my own past experience, I have always learned a lot when doing research papers and found it was very easy to remember a lot of the information, whether I used it in my paper or not. I know that I personally will be making notecards for my sources and would encourage others to do so as well. Not only does it keep everything organized, but it is much easier to just copy down info from a notecard into the paper than having 3 books open and printed out articles spread throughout your room as you try to find that quote you read last week.
