- I had stacked my notes that had a large X after REASON.
- I again read each note to refresh my memory of their REASONS.
- Then, from my stack of X’s, I chose 5 or 6 REASONS that I want to use when I write my paper.
- I wrote these 5 or 6 chosen REASONS on my note cards.
- My Reasons: • must make sense • must be true • must not be silly.
