Working with the outline you've created, it's time to get all your thoughts drafted out into sentences and paragraphs. In order to do this, you'll need to be able to incorporate information from the sources you've found.

There are three ways you can include information from a source, and your paper should be a balanced blend of all three types:

1. Direct quote - using information word for word from your source. Quotation marks and source citation required.

2. Paraphrasing - using similar information from the source but also using your own words. Source citation required.

3. Summarizing - using all your own words to communicate the idea. Source citation required.

This document gives a good overview of all three ways to incorporate source information, as well as sentence starters/forms to help you word the source citation within the sentence.

Source citations can also be done in different ways. Again, your paper should include a balance between the two approaches so it doesn't sound redundant:

1. In-text citation - the source is named in the text of the sentence where the information is being used (as seen in above document).

2. Parenthetical citation - the source is given in parenthesis at the end of the sentence/paragraph where the information is being used (as seen in document attached here). Recycling article used for examples.

3. Footnotes - for the purpose of this assignment, we will not be using footnotes, but you should still know they exist and that they are also used to identify sources. Much like parenthetical citations, you place the number at the end of the sentence/paragraph where the information was used and the source information is found at the bottom of that page for all footnotes on the page.
