NOTECARDS → New Notecard (ONLY IF YOU HAVE CREATED THE CITATION FIRST!) 

Source → YOU MUST LINK THE CARD TO THE CITATION/SOURCE IN YOUR WORKS CITED

Pages → If it is a book, write what page(s) the notes are from

Quotation → COPY AND PASTE FROM DIGITAL RESOURCES.  Skip to paraphrase if you are using a book. 

Paraphrase → Put what you copied and pasted INTO YOUR OWN WORDS, frame out the main idea.   
IF YOU ARE USING A BOOK, just type in the paraphrase unless you would like to use a direct quote from the text in your paper.

Interpret/My Ideas →  What have you learned?  What are you thinking?  Where will you go next?

INTERPRETING THE INFORMATION:

Use these stems starters if you are stuck... 

For example: 

According to MacKenzie, “a high sugar content increases spread because the sugar liquefies at baking temperatures.” This means that in order for cookies to spread into thin and crispy cookies, a pastry chef should use a high amount of sugar in the recipe.

3. Begin researching using NoodleTools Note cards for Quote - Paraphrase - Interpret Information 

4. When research is complete, print a Works Cited page from NoodleTools, use the Print/Export button in top left and choose to Print/Export to Google Docs.  Follow the prompts. NoodleTools will talk to your Google Drive and then open a Google Doc of your Works Cited.  Go to File - Move to Folder and move the doc to your Science folder.

5. Begin writing the paper using Google Docs in NoodleTools.  This doc will also be in your Google Drive.  When you are in the doc, click on File - Move to Folder and move it to your Science folder. It should automatically be Shared with Mr. Lodovico from NoodleTools.  IF YOU DID NOT CREATE THE DOC IN NOODLETOOLS, you will have to Share it with Mr. Lodovico in Google Drive.
