1. Write a brief description of your source that contains media. (If you have more than one, pick your favorite.) What's the title? Who wrote it? When? What is it about? What media does it contain? If it doesn't contain media, what media will you create? 2. Practice integrating a paraphrase and/or quotation from one of your sources using the "traditional" strategy.

3. Practice integrating a paraphrase and/or quotation from one of your sources by embedding it in the sentence.

4. Practice integrating a paraphrase and/or quotation from one of your sources using the "parenthetical citation" strategy.

5. Write a sentence or two paraphrasing a passage or piece of information from one of your sources. When you're done, pull out the source and cross-check what you wrote with the source. Did you use any of the same language? If so, cross it out and revise.

6. Look at each of your sources and list the publication information to determine how you would cite them in your essay. Then list the parenthetical citations here.

7. Draft the introduction paragraph of your argumentative essay.

8. Now draft at least two body paragraphs that integrate information from your sources. You may find it necessary to write more paragraphs depending on how you outlined your essay and how much information you were able to find from your sources.
