  1. Data Matrix PURPOSE: To effectively organize your information for creating an outline and writing your paper

  2. What is the “Data Matrix”? • Essentially, you are taking all of the information you plan to use from your sources and organizing it in one easy-to-access and organized place.

  3. In case you forgot what you’re supposed to do… • You will take the highlighted information from your sources and transfer that to a slide. • Then, in parentheses, add the author name (if there is one). If not, use the title of the article (in quotation marks). Follow the author name or title by either the page number (book, magazine, etc.). If you do not have the page number, you will not use a number.

  4. Reminders! • Don’t forget to do your citations as you go. It will be much easier if you do them now than when you are writing your paper. If you don’t do it now, you won’t know where you got the information from, and you’ll have to go through your research again. • Ex: (“Elvis: Superstar”). • If you have questions about how to cite correctly, make sure you ASK. • Go ahead and add as many slides as you need; I have made ten for you to start. You will eventually organize them by topic. Don’t forget to put a topic on each slide; again this will save you time down the road. • Last: Make sure you’re not putting too much information on each slide. Make them easy to read and use later on!

  5. In-Text Citations Examples: • Author name and page number: (Brown 32) • No author, title of article (NOT the source) and page number: (“School Violence Today” 5)

  7. Topic: Gang Violence Sub-topic: Introduction to the issue/Culture/Economy “Urban gun battles drive schoolchildren to the floors of their classrooms and entire villages into flight; noncombatants die in the crossfire; others, unfortunate enough to cross paths with pitiless irregulars, are hacked to death or beheaded. The national economy falters because of the rising chaos and uncertainty. Tensions rise along the border of a neighboring nation as some seek to escape the violence any way they can” (“The War Next Door” 2).
