Here is a sample of an introduction and body 1 from a student's paper:


HERE ARE SOME HINTS ON INSERTING YOUR QUOTES:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some last minute notes on writing the body paragraphs (some examples on putting in the sources):

Option #1 (author's name and title in the sentence): According to Jared Diamond the author of Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fate of Human Societies, "We all know that history has proceeded very differently..." (13).

Option #2 (author's name in the sentence): Jared Diamond explains to us that, "history has proceeded very differently..." (13).

Option #3 (paraphrase no name in the sentence): According to this source, history has proceeded at different rates on different continents (Diamond 13).

Option #4 (no name in sentence/or title): Because, "...history has proceeded very differently..." there are many differences throughout the globe (Diamond 13).

Option 5# (no author/title in the sentence): According to The Global Monitoring Report," Education for all cannot be achieved without improving quality" (17).

Option #6 (no author/no title in the sentence): The information presented in this source tells us that, " Education for all cannot be achieved without improving quality" ("Education for All" 17).

Option #7 (two authors/author in the sentence): Best and Marcus argue that one should read a text for what it says on its surface, rather than looking for some hidden meaning (9).

Option #8 (two authors/names not in the sentence): The authors claim that surface reading looks at what is “evident, perceptible, apprehensible in texts” (Best and Marcus 9).

Option #9 (more than two authors): According to the article, "The Economic Impacts of Broadband" we learn that, "Broadband’s economic significance can be put into context by referring to similar changes in other areas of infrastructure, such as road, rail, and electricity" ( Qiang et al. 1).

Part 3: Writing the counter-claim

Watch here where most of this is all explained.

Here is what  a counter-claim paragraph might sound like:
On the other hand, it has been argued that ________________________________ (counterclaim).

This point of view seems to make sense because _____________________(evidence/reasoning that supports the counter-claim)

However, ________________________________________(rebuttal--why is this weak? Give support through evidence!!!)

Therefore, ________________________________________(sum up why your claim is better/makes more sense)
