  15. Taking Notes You will be required to take notes: Direct Quotations (require “” around all information) Paraphrasesand Summaries (brief and in your own words) You must use the four required categories to create your notes. +

  16. Taking Notes Plagiarism: the act of intentionally or unintentionally treating work done by someone else as though it were your own Plagiarism will result in an automatic Ffor the entire project. Give credit where credit is due. When in doubt, ask your teacher.

  17. Taking Notes DIRECT QUOTATION: repeats the word of the source exactly. Quotation marks are used around the quoted material. • Use when the source material is especially well-stated—that is, when it is memorable because of its succinctness, its clarity, its liveliness, its elegance of expression, or its other exceptional qualities. PARAPHRASE: repeats an idea from the source but uses different words. • It is a good way to check that you understand the main point and details in what you are reading. It should be about the same length as the original.

  18. Taking Notes Effective Note Taking: 1. Keep your topic, controlling purpose, and audience in mind at all times. Do not record material unrelated to your topic. • Make sure that your paraphrases correctly reflect the meaning of the original. • Be accurate. Make sure that the direct quotations are copied word-for-word, with capitalization, punctuation, spelling, and grammar precisely as in the original. 4. Always double-check page references. It’s easy to copy these incorrectly.

  19. Taking Notes The Required Categories: • Overview: Job description (What are your typical/daily duties and tasks? Where will you work? How many hours/days per week?) • High School Preparation: Career Specific Courses (program of study), Extracurricular Activities, and Service Learning • Entry Requirements: What do you need to do or accomplish before you enter your career? (Education, experience, training) • Skills and Qualities: Which skills and personal qualities should you have? (Compare to your personality test results). • Advancement and Promotion: How can you earn a raise? How can you advance? What additional training might you need?
