A source is anything you did not create or write it is to be used as evidence in making your work ethical effective and efficient. You know about sources, but did you know the true importance of bringing sources into writing has a lot to do with the credibility of your writing piece. Being in school gives you a lot of opportunities to work on your critical thinking skills which is important in making looking for sources a lot easier

Finding out if a source you are using is good or bad can all depend on the way you are trying to present the information. There are three correct ways to present sources correctly. Also all three needs to be cited correctly in order for it to be a correct source. Good source use means ethical, effective, and efficient source use. At the same time you are giving due credit to the creator of the source you’re using or engaging, you are making it work well with your words and ideas. Here is a video explaining how source are used.

You can paraphrase the authors information in your own words so that the meaning of your source shows clarity in your passage.When you paraphrase it is important to change the words but to keep the meaning. this is important because it shows that the writer understands the source and makes them credible to write about it.

Quotation is another example of bringing out sources. Quotations use the exact words from the source. Use quotation marks around the quotation if the source is less than four lines long. Use a block quotation if the source is more than four lines from a printed source.  block quotations are  to be used only when all of that information is necessary. Indent entire quotation by 5 spaces on the left. Do not use quotation marks. it is important that you use these 

Summarizing is the most familiar use of information, you use this by giving a brief statement of the source you acquired. It gives the reader a better understanding of the author’s work with out having to read through the material because you gave away the main points already.
