Focus on your thesis statement.
Organize your thoughts by creating several main ideas or topic sentences for each paragraph.
Common knowledge information does not have to be cited.

passages from a book, article, poem etc.
Use quotes for persuasion or to point out specific facts
Do not overuse quotes- only 10% of your paper should include direct quotes.

Example of a quote:
“…so it goes with Agent Orange, a potent herbicide used as a defoliant during the Vietnam War. The U.S. military deployed almost 20 million gallons (76 millions liters) of herbicides from 1962 to 1971 [source: Veterans Administration]. Among these substances, Agent Orange was the most used herbicide, around 11 million gallons (42 million liters) deployed from January 1965 through April 1970.” (Silverman 1-2)

4 Steps to Effective Paraphrasing1. Reread the original passage until you
understand its full meaning2. Set the original aside and without looking
at it write a paraphrase3. Check your original with the paraphrase
to make sure your information is accurate but do not copy word for word
4. Record the source & page numbers on your notecard
