Also locate one other reliable source using Credo Reference or CQ Researcher Some Further Instructions In your paper, you should explain in clear detail the sources you’re using. In your paper, you should incorporate quotes and facts from your sources throughout your paragraphs, using APA style in-text citations to do so Remember, you do NOT just want to plop a quote, or a citation, at the end of a paragraph. Instead, you want to INCORPORATE the ideas and quotes from your sources THROUGHOUT your paragraphs. In doing this, you should ALSO be incorporating in-text citations each time you use an idea, fact, or quote from a source. So do NOT simply plop a citation at the end of a paragraph Your paper should contain a rational argument of your own. No matter what, you must not simply state what you believe. You should support your position with reasons to show that your position is the most rational one to take. (In other words, you must give an argument, not an opinion.) Then, your paper should offer a counter-argument paragraph. That is, offer a potential objection that someone could have to the stance youve chosen. Let’s say you are arguing that there’s something undemocratic about the Supreme Court. An objection would go against your position, and try to find weaknesses in your argument That kind of paragraph would begin: “However, some might argue against my position that …” Then, have a paragraph in which you respond to the potential objection to defend yourself. Why are you still right? Are there any aspects of the objection youd be willing to agree with? Why or why not?
