Because you are drafting, start each draft at the center of the paragraph – the proof section of the paragraph. Lay down the outside source’s words with a signal phrase first then introduce the material before it and discuss it after. As you work, edit the source material for fit your proposition/claim in response to the question. Note: This is labor-intensive writing. It will take you longer than you expect to unify each of the paragraphs around an arguable point of view.

1 – In 200 or so words, using it in a fully developed paragraph long essay, summarize the point that runs throughout chapter 11 about the Johnson Administration’s demand for optimistic war information. Use a few quick details to prove your point (cite any passage that originates on a specific page), but remember a summary is an overview – an “about” evaluation. Use your summary to prove a topic sentence about the President’s pressure for positive news about Vietnam in this chapter?
