  1. How to properly integrate sources into your research paper

  2. Integrating Sources • What does the word “Integrate” mean? • How would you integrate a source?

  3. Introducing SAMMY SOURCE!!!! – Help him, Help you write an awesome paper!

  4. Step 1 • Prepare your source (This where your notecards help!) • Know what information you are taking out of a source to include in your paper • Sammy has a lot of pages know what you are using

  5. Step 2 • Introduce your source • Give your extracted information a lead in, so that it flows nicely with what you have been writing, and the reader understands where the information comes from • Introduce Sammy so it is not an awkward party

  6. Step 3, Choice A • Summarize the information from the source • Include a relatively brief non-biased account, in your own words of the main ideas in a source or a source passage • You want to know what makes Sammy tick

  7. Step 3, Choice B • Paraphrase the information from the source • Restate, in your own words, of a passage of text. Its structure reflects (but does not copy) the structure of the source passage, and may roughly the same length, but uses different words • Put Sammy’s ideas in your own words

  8. Step 3, Choice C • Quote the information in the source • Use the exact words of a source, making sure to use quotation marks around the words. • Sometimes Sammy says it best and does all the heavy lifting

  9. Step 4 • Last, but not least….. • Explain what the information means! Including a citation or information is not any good if you don’t explain it!! • Remember to provide a citation (footnote) in Chicago style – SEE THE BIBLIOGRAPHY GUIDE • Remember….when in doubt SITE IT. Each paragraph should have at least one citation at the end of it. • Give Sammy the credit that he deserves!

  10. Step 5 – Sammy is hungry for more citations – About 10 should do the trick 

  11. Do Now: • Write down what your favorite food is • Write down all of the ingredients that go into it
