 Textnotes
A textnote refers to giving credit to your source in the body of your work.  This is very easy.  At the end of the sentence in which you use a piece of research, whether it is quoted or in your own words, insert the author’s last name and page number surrounded by parantheses. <o:p></o:p>
 <o:p></o:p>
Ex:  Charbonneau himself contributed little to the expedition. “Clark thought him to be of little merit, except as a cook…He was not a good boatman, he panicked easily in a crisis, and Clark berated him once for striking Sacagawea.” (Meadows, 32)<o:p></o:p>
 <o:p></o:p>
If no author is listed you may use a title.  <o:p></o:p>
 <o:p></o:p>
For a website, use the author’s last name if given.  If not, use the title.<o:p></o:p>
 <o:p></o:p>
Paraphrasing.<o:p></o:p>
 Paraphrasing means using your own words to present material you have seen, heard or read.
Strategy:<o:p></o:p>
I. Research<o:p></o:p>
1.      Read over the material to get a general sense of the meaning.<o:p></o:p>
2.     Look up unfamiliar terms or ideas so you are sure of their meaning<o:p></o:p>
3.     Take notes on specifics such as statistics and proper names.  Be sure to include bibliographic information and page numbers so you can give proper credit. <o:p></o:p>
II. Recall      <o:p></o:p>
1.      Put away your information and write from memory.  Explain as if to a younger friend or your brother or sister.<o:p></o:p>
2.     Expand the information using your own ideas and examples.<o:p></o:p>
3.     Leave a blank if you need to insert specific information later.<o:p></o:p>
III.  Refine<o:p></o:p>
1.      Review your original material to make sure your paraphrase shows the proper understanding.<o:p></o:p>
2.     Insert any statistics or proper names.  Follow with correct bibliographic information in parentheses.<o:p></o:p>
3.     If necessary, insert quoted information from the original source surrounded by quote marks and followed by correct bibliographic information in parentheses.<o:p></o:p>
