Sort Notes - Task

1. Read each of your notes, one at a time.
2. Try to stack each note with related notes.
3. Hold each note next to every note stack, and ask, "Related or unrelated?"
4. If some notes confuse you, put them in a stack by themselves.
5. You can decide about them later.
6. Continue sorting and stacking your notes.
7. When 2 notes go together, print their TOPIC on both TOPIC lines.
8. When you add a note to a stack, print the TOPIC on its TOPIC line.
9. After you have read and stacked all your notes, pick up the group of notes that confused you.
10. Hold the first confusing note next to each TOPIC stack. Ask, “Related or unrelated?”
11. Maybe the confusing note will fit into a TOPIC stack.
12. If it does fit, print the TOPIC on its TOPIC line, and put it into that TOPIC stack.
13. If it does not fit, you can do one of two things.
14. Either you can make a new TOPIC for it, or you can decide not to use that note in your paper.
15. Hold other confusing notes next to each TOPIC stack and try to add them to the TOPIC stacks.
