Prewriting Recording Information

Take Notes 🟪 There can be a lot of information to record for a research report. Your grid will help you keep track of key facts, but some facts may not fit. That’s when you need to use your writer’s notebook or note cards. Simply write the question at the top of the page or note card and then list the additional information. Record the source and page number.

Write Down Quotations 🟪 When you read or hear something that you want to use “word for word,” copy the quotation just as it was written or spoken. (Place quotation marks before and after a quotation.)
