These sources will not write your papers for you or proofread your work, but they do offer invaluable assistance.
Each of your support paragraphs is likely to contain support in two forms: summary/paraphrase and quotation.
With summaries/paraphrases, you put the source’s ideas in your own words, and you must give credit to the source for the ideas you use in your paper.
With quotations, you quote the source’s exact words, putting them in quotation marks, and you must give credit to the source for the words that you use in your paper.
For advice on how summary/paraphrase and quotations can help your paragraphs, see the Writing a Paragraph? box at the left of this page.
For advice on how quotations can help your paragraphs, see the Writing a Paragraph? box at the left of this page.
