Question: Week 9: Editing and Revising Paragraphs with Sources
It can be difficult to put information from outside sources into your own words. Sometimes it helps to hear from a reader.
Step 1: Share one paragraph from your essay where you included information from an outside source. Please also share a link to the source that your used.
Step 2: After you share your work, explain to your classmates what you need help with and why. Here are a few questions to consider:
• When you put information from your research in your won words (paraphrase or summary), do yo use too many of the original words from the source?
• Did you put quotation marks around direct quotes?
• After you share the information from your source, do you explain why that information is important and how it supports your position?
• Do you provide a citation for the source in your paragraph?
