FOLLOW STRUCTURE & STYLE GUIDELINES FOR ESSAYS


The STRUCTURE of an essay is as important as the paper FORMAT and source CITATIONS.

Be sure to follow the DRAFTING content for proper STRUCTURE & STYLE.

Be sure to use the 3-part-layout in all of your writing. See THIS LINK for help with the 3-part-layout in DBs, essays, and paragraphs.


Body-Paragraphs Step 2b: Integrating Sources

Integrating Sources into Body-Paragraphs

When integrating sources in an essay, you need to make sure of three things:

  1. that the source is scholarly (reliable and credible),
  2. that the source is properly used within your writing (giving proper credit as well as paraphrasing/summarizing correctly), and 
  3. that the source is properly synthesized: followed with your evaluation of the source content, your explanation as to how the source content proves your argument, and how the credibility of the author leaves little doubt to the reliability of the content used to defend your argument.


Use the links (below) to additional lessons for how to accomplish these three goals when constructing the argument in your body-paragraphs.
