When selecting quotes, you’ll want to consider how vital the quote is to your argument and whether or not the quote would be better paraphrased instead. A good time to quote is when the author uses such exact language that a paraphrase would lead to inaccuracies, or when you want to focus on the specific words the author uses because you want to agree or disagree with the word choice or make a nuanced point.
please visit the articles and highlight what quotes you now think are vital to your argument.

An outline is a useful chart of your conversation with other texts.
In this activity you will construct a rough outline of you paper to answer some basic questions about organization:
- How many body paragraphs will your paper need?
- What points need to be proved?
- In what parts will you be responding to what “They Say”? https://learn-us-east-1-prod-fleet01-xythos.s3.ama… in the example above, the author figured out that she needed four body paragraphs to cover the main points of the debate. Your paper may have a greater number of paragraphs or fewer, but think about each element of your argument and where each source will go. Questions to consider:
- What have you realized from making the outline?
- Have you realized that some of your body paragraphs need more quotes or to interact with the texts more?
- Have you realized that you have left out necessary sources?
