In Everything's an Argument chapter 18 it talks about how to avoid plagiarizing and integrity. To avoid plagiarism you must credit your source and cite them. It's important to cite anything that you didn't think of yourself, even if it's something that you heard from a friend, or random person.
In The Bedford Researcher chapter 12 is about drafting. It talks about developing a thesis, utilizing an outline, introductions, supporting paragraphs, organization, readability, conclusions, and documenting sources. One area that will be useful to me is the organizing section.
Chapter 13 is about the different ways you can use sources in your paper. It also shows you how to correctly quote a source in MLA format. It also gives you a list of attributions you can use other than "said." Some ways to use a source is by using quotations, paraphrasing, and summarizing.
Chapter 14 is about avoiding plagiarism. First it defines what plagiarism is and then tells you to cite sources properly so the right person is getting the right credit for their words.
Chapter 17 is about documentation systems. On page 239 it shows you different styles of documenting, and how they are used. In this class we use MLA, which is all i've ever been taught. (chapter 18 is about how to use MLA format correctly)
The first website is about how to correctly use sources and cite them in your paper.
The second website relocated me to the Bedford Researcher homepage where you can access tutorials and other useful info. The third website didn't work for me. The last website is about how to create a work cited.
