FILLING OUT THE SOURCE CHART

1. The first thing you want to do is type the three or four main ideas you will be researching in order to answer your guiding question. Type these main ideas into each “Main Idea” box.

2. After that, you need to find the links that will answer your questions. Underneath each link are some supporting questions. Find the link that matches the supporting questions you chose. And click on it.

3. After reading through the material, find information you want to use to answer the questions you have. When you find it, highlight the text by clicking on the first word you want, and while holding the button down, drag it to the last word you want.

4. Now, you have two options to copy it.

a. You can hold down the “command” key next to the space bar and press “c”

b. You can go to “Edit” on the top of the screen and click “copy”

5. Now paste the information into the “exact Quote” box from your source chart, again through one of two ways. Make sure you have clicked inside the box first.

b. Go to “Edit” and press “Paste”

6. Highlight the web address and copy and paste it into the “Web Address and Authors” box

7. If you have more than one quote from the same source that answers the same question, you may want to paste all of that information into the same box to make it easier for yourself.

8. When you have compiled all of your information, wait for your teacher’s permission before printing out anything. Give your teacher a chance to review what you have so you can avoid doing it all over again if you’ve messed up something.
