In Microsoft Word, create and format a 3 column table.  The first column will identify each item (in order!), the second column will include your thinking and writing, the third column will be the source of your example.  Be sure to use proper reference style for the source.  There are guidelines for writing and references on the General Writing Guidelines page of this website.
