Detailed notes = detailed research paper
Organize notes (sources) by COLOR
Use black text to signify your thoughts and analysis of the information.
Organize outline by SUBTOPIC / SUB-QUESTION◦ Subtopics should include multiple sources
In-text citations indicate sources within paragraphs in your draft
