  1. On paper: • 1. What is the strongest biological reason that your disease is a major problem for you country? • 2. What is the strongest societal reason that you disease is a major problem for your country.

  2. Thesis structure • Because (bioligical reason) and (societal reason, (your disease) is a (serious/major/insert-your-adjective-here) problem in (your country)

  3. Thesis structure • Because (bioligical reason) and (societal reason, (your disease) is a (serious/major/insert-your-adjective-here) problem in (your country) Because malaria is transmitted by infected mosquitos and Never-Never-Land has no infrastructure to contain infected mosquito growth, malaria is a huge problem in Never-Never-Land.* *-I made this up

  4. Integration of quotes • Quotes are the strength of your argument in a paper. • All quotes must be cited. • Integrating quotes into your sentences helps your argument flow smoothly.

  5. Blending in evidence/quotes If the paragraph began with: “While the defense has argued that the landlady is insane, evidence and expert witness testimony clearly disprove this claim.” • Avoid including quotes that have no context or are just stuck into your paragraph. This is ineffective. Example: “I love to stuff all my little pets myself when they pass away” (Dahl 34). • Set up the quote. Give it an introduction and blend it in with your own sentence. This works. Example: According to the psychologist’s testimony, in his interview with the landlady, she stated, “I stuff all my little pets myself when they pass away” (Dahl 34). • Consider using brackets to change a word so that the writing flows more smoothly. This is more effective. Example: According to the psychologist’s testimony, in his interview with the landlady, she stated that she would “stuff all [her] little pets [herself] when they pass away” (Dahl 34).

  6. More samples • “Seeing three bears standing over her, Goldilocks grew afraid and ran out the window” (Alderson 24).

  7. Quote at the beginning • “Seeing three bears standing over her” was enough to show Goldilocks the error of her ways (Alderson 24).

  8. Quote in the middle • As Goldilocks “grew afraid and ran out the window” she demonstrated an understanding of her social blunder (Alderson 24).

  9. Quote at the end • Goldilocks’ growing understanding of the social relationships in the forest is demonstrated when “she grew afraid and ran out the window” (Alderson 24).
