2024 Spring - MS Dance - Choreographers Project

Taking Notes

Be sure to take careful notes AND keep track of where you get all of the information you use for this project. 

How?

For each new source, open this MS Dance Research Note Sheet in Google Docs, make a copy (and include your name when you re-name it!) and record:

1. The title of the article, web page or video clip

2. The author (if there is one -- there might not be!)

3. Date when the source was published or posted.

4. The name of the website or library database

Remember, when you are taking notes:

  • Keep notes separate for each source that you use.
  • Put the information in your own words
  • Be efficient - no need for complete sentences!
  • Try using the left-hand column for any overall categories you might find - and the right-hand column for the details related to those categories. Some useful categories might be: "education and training," or "important works."
  • You might not be able to find all of the information at the top of your notesheet, and that's okay! If you can't find it, just leave it blank.
