NoodleTools for Creating Works Cited, Notecards, and Outlines: Notecards and Outlines

1. Lists the source
2. Includes a topic or subtopic heading
3. Contains one fact
4. A quotation and/or a paraphrase of the quotation
5. Personal idea or question

An outline organizes your information in complimentary ways because it shows both:

1. The logical progression from your introduction/beginning through a conclusion/end in support of your overarching thesis.
2. The hierarchical relationships between topics and subtopics, main points and supporting evidence, abstract ideas and concrete details.

• All sources are correctly cited, and includes an appropriate range of relevant sources.
• Notecards about the sources are well organized, and identifies key points both in the author's quote and assignment.
• Notecards show a grasp of the author's meaning and/or have thoughtful questions.
• Outline's topic demonstrates original thinking, is well organized, and is relevant to the assignment.
