As you gather your research and write your paper, you should be asking yourself "what is most important?" over and over again. For example, when you are taking notes from a research source -- a book, magazine or online article -- don't waste time copying every tiny tidbit. Take down only the facts and quotes that will help you write your paper. By now you have written your thesis statement and outline. When you gather information, grab only what fits into your thesis and outline.
Read this article. Now tell me in your response to this post: if I am writing a paper about how much money the Harry Potter franchise has earned at the box office, what are the facts/quotes I would choose from this article? What would be the most important pieces of information for my paper? Write your answers in complete sentences; please write a minimum of three sentences.
