- Begin with your TOPIC I notes on your Topic Outline, FORM 5.
- Sort notes into two or more SUBTOPIC stacks.
- Each SUBTOPIC stack will usually have two or more note cards, but it can have only one card.
- If you have at least 2 SUBTOPICS in a TOPIC, write them on each TOPIC I note card.
- Arrange the SUBTOPICS in a sensible order.
- Write them on the lines for SUBTOPICS A, B, C, and D.
- Turn your TOPIC I notes faced down.Repeat this procedure with notes in all your TOPICS.
- When you finish sorting a TOPIC's notes, turn the TOPIC stack faced down and criss-cross it over other faced-down TOPIC stacks.
