The Writing Process: Source Usage

USAGE

Source usage is essential to quality writing, making the difference between an unsupported, under-developed essay and a highly-persuasive essay easy to spot. You must incorporate sources into your Body Paragraphs to assert your ideas, defend your argument, and develop your support. You will prove your thesis in your Body Paragraphs through source usage (not in the introduction or conclusion). See the content on Source Usage below.
