8. Notes from written source ????????????? Not sure about this – book, newspaper, internet site, letter If you take “notes” from sources above…be as BRIEF AS POSSIBLE Might be best trying to remember rather than write notes – don’t want to drop marks for copying

9. Notes from Letter/Email Appendix 7 Email from Margaret Curran MP

10. Advice… If adding notes from websites etc. – less is better If getting information from research sheets…make sure you DO SOMETHING with the information. Make a judgement about it. E.g. if you have stats written such as “55% Scots support independence” then make sure in your write up you say something like “This is a clear majority for independence and shows that…”

11. Advice… Number each source, Appendix 1, Appendix 2 etc. Then in your write up if you refer to a source on your research sheets, put in brackets afterwards: (Appendix 1) or (Appendix 2) You can annotate your sheets – highlight, add brief notes etc…see next slide…
