Use the 5 by 7 cards, lined. Use the lined side for notes and the unlined side for the bibliography, then number the cards.

Start with brainstorming, then clustering, and finally the formal I, II, III kind of outline. The more precise and complete your outline is, the easier it will be to write the paper. If you do it right, the paper will seem to write itself.

Practice makes perfect. \nListen to the key words. \nOnce you learn to stop to think how a word is spelled \nyou should get faster in taking notes. \nTo make sense of your notes, and help you remember, go over them as soon as possible after class and round out your writing then. \nEventually the whole process will become second nature. \nChoose a writing utensil that is best for your speed and the pressure you put on the paper.

You mean you want to write one?\n\nTry looking for examples from people who are in a field similar to yours, and imitate the format and style.  You can ask your professors, for example.

1.  Figure out what topic you're writing on and what sort of information you'll need.\n\n2.  Find resources.  Try your school or local library, Google Scholar, and any online databases your school might subscribe to.\n\n3.  Read the relevant portions of the books and papers you've found, and take careful notes.  When you're taking notes, do not write in complete sentences and do not take phrasing from the book you are reading.  This will ensure that you don't wind up accidentally copying portions of the book into your paper.  Keep in mind that you generally don't have to read the entire book; you will often only need to read a few pages from a bunch of different books.\n\n4.  Make an outline.  Try to make it as detailed as possible, and try to include quotes from the book to support your points, as well as any relevant statistics.\n\n5.  Start writing.  Work from your outline as much as possible.\n\n6.  Edit, just like you would any other paper.  Read over your work, change things, read over it again, change more things, and so on.  Give it to a friend, parent, or teacher to read over and comment on, too, if you can.\n\n7.  Print it out and turn it in.

If you have Word on a PC just insert a table and format and edit as required.  If you don't have access to Word use graph paper or if you're really creative cut out coloured shapes for each person and stick them onto a large piece of card link together with ribbon or wool.  Now that will WOW! them at school.

I went through four years of pre-med and the best way I managed to do it was to use flash cards.  Maybe you can search Google for an online flash card program or something.  I maintained a 4.0 average using this method.  I also used it for two years of grad school in legal studies.  Good Luck.

i had to make a pamphlet for school once.  I'm not sure of an easier way, but you can make columns on a word document in the format option.

I assume you're looking for ways to make it longer. I suggest instead you cut it shorter and start building from there. The paper is supposed to be on your fondest MEMORY, not MEMORIES. Pick one (I'd use the senior service project) and embellish it. Add details. For example, explain what the purpose is of a senior service project  (so what if everyone already knows). Tell how you felt on your way to the nursing home the first time. What were you thinking? Then describe the nursing home - what it looks like, how it made you feel, even what it smells like. Talk about the elderly people you met. Did they have any stories that you remember in particular? Choose two or three people that were especially memorable and describe them in detail - what they looked like, sounded like, if they had any physical challenges, how they faced those challenges. What did you talk about with them? Did they like to hear about your activities, or did they mostly want to talk about their own families and memories? What kind of therapy did they have? Describe the process, how it made them feel, if they said. Tell how you felt when the project ended. Did your opinion change after the experience?\n\nThe details are what make the paper interesting.

The other answers were valid and good advice.  I would add that you should critically look at the short paper and see if you could outline it.  If your points follow smoothly you should easily be able to create an outline from what you've written.  If you can't, maybe some re-organization is in order.  As a last thought for you, the adage "tell them what you're going to tell them, then tell them, and then tell them what you told them" will make sure you have a beginning, a middle with your information, and a summary (beginning and summary can just be a short sentence).    Since your essay is short, I've included a link to a short article speaking about seven steps to writing a good essay.  Good luck.  Hope you get an Excellent written in red across the top!

In addition, you might try using this list of style guides for formal writing such as term papers:\n\n(American English) http://www.wmich.edu/wmu/writing/others/\n\nMy favourite quick reference for informal writing:\n\n(Queen's English)http://www.timesonline.co.uk/section/0,,2941,00.html\n\nYou can also purchase paper copies of style guides, handy when you can't get to a computer.\n\n\nI must say I have been thoroughly disgusted with the Microsoft grammar & spelling checker on a number of occasions.  I usually turn it off rather than have it alter sentences or phrases which are correct. However, I must say that I write more technical papers, which may contribute to my annoyance with the animated paperclip.

I would take a note book pen and pencil.  Then I got the sylabus from the teacher and saw what he required.  IE. note boor or a three ring binder.  Also kids will wait after class and sell their books from the previous semester so you can score some killer deals if you wait until after the first day to get books.
