Step 3: Remember to write notes in YOUR OWN WORDS and CITE YOUR SOURCE.
Writing notes in your own words means that you do not copy the words right from a website. Instead, you read what is on the website, and then write it on your paper the way you understand it or the way you would explain it to someone else.
Citing your source means you write down the address of the website where you got your information. There is a space at the bottom of your paper for you to record your sources.
