  Module 6-Topic 1

  Consider the Source

  Now that your research project for the Proposing a Chang essay is underway, it's time to consider your sources.

  FIRST: Selectoneof the sources you are planning to use to support your argument in your essay.

  • Briefly, summarize the main idea and key points of each source (2-4 sentences),
  • Share a quote or paraphrase you are planning to use--be sure to use a signal phrase to set up the quote, and correct in-text citation.
  • Explain why you chose that quote or passage-Does it provide background information? Does it help you support a point you are making? Etc. How does it help support the point you are making in your essay?

  NEXT:

  Please choose a classmates response whose topic you find interesting. Go to the online databases via the NVC library and locate one source that you believe would be a strong source for their essay along with a brief explanation for your choice.

  Provide a correct MLA citation for the source you are recommending.

  Here are some resources you can use to help with signal phrases and citations:

This passage set the stage of my essay and it supports my topic about the need for financial education among high school and college students. I believe a finance literacy and money management should be a mandatory course to be taken in order to graduate high school. This will prepare and promote positive credit card behavior after high school and into college and/or adulthood.

    I have two questions:

    One- When citing a passage from an author who cited someone else's work, such as:Hancock et al. writes that, “According toNorvilitis et al. (2006), a lack of financial knowledge was the strongest predictor of having credit debt. Furthermore, three research teams(Robb 2011; Shim et al. 2009, 2010)noticed that higher financial knowledge translated to positive behavioral outcomes (e.g., less risky use of credit cards)” (371).

    Do we cite the highlighted as well in our reference page?

    Two- If an image is inserted as reference does it generally need to be placed after the reference paragraph or the last page of the Proposal?
