Citing Sources Organizer

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is titled “Citing Sources Organizer,” and it is designed to assist students in structuring their research and note-taking process effectively. The worksheet has a designated area at the top for the student to write their name, ensuring personalized organization of their work. The organizer is divided into different sections, beginning with a part where the student is prompted to fill in the title of the work and source information, such as the type of source, author’s name, date published, and location. This information is critical for creating accurate citations and allows students to keep track of where they obtained their information.

Below the source information, the worksheet provides spaces for “Main Ideas in Your Own Words,” where students can paraphrase the essential points from the source, promoting comprehension and the ability to summarize key concepts. A subsequent section labeled “Quotations that Support the Main Ideas” offers students the opportunity to jot down direct quotes from the source, along with the corresponding page numbers. This practice encourages students to connect direct evidence with their own interpretations of the material.
