What purpose do index cards serve in your research when preparing for a research essay? What should you include on your index cards?

I personally do not use index cards, but they could be used for getting a outline of what your essay will be and how it will be formatted.  You want to get a basic "skeleton draft" going then you can fill the blanks in-between and adjust as you see fit.  That's how I would personally use them, but it's really up to you!  You can do everything from notes from research on them, to doing your frame on them.
