Follow the instruction, outline and rewrite my Secondary Source Integration with quillty work
ARP Step 3: Secondary Source Integration Instruction
The Secondary Source Integration asks you to revisit your work in the Primary Source Analysis and the Annotated Bibliography. You will extend or rethink your original analytical claims and integrate secondary evidence seamlessly and effectively into your own writing.
Below you will find a list of objectives for the assignment. Be sure to follow the directions outlined in Getting Started carefully as you seek to extend the work completed in STEP 1: Primary Source Analysis.
Your work should be 4-5 pages, double-spaced, typed in 12-point font, and set to 1” margins.
Objectives:
Identify two (2) timely, useful, credible, and relevant secondary sources from Step 2: Annotated Bibliography. Your work with these sources should help you revise and extend the work you completed in Step 1: Primary Source Analysis
Demonstrate the ability to comprehend the central arguments of these sources
Perform meaningful, thoughtful analysis of these secondary sources
Assert and maintain your own critical voice rather than letting the secondary evidence speak for you
Develop an evolving thesis to orient your analysis and source integration
Integrate secondary sources into your analysis by paraphrasing and/or directly citing the writers’ language and ideas
Include proper in-text citations of each source and an appropriately formatted Works Cited page using MLA guidelines
Getting Started:
Extending Your PSA
Return to your Primary Source Analysis, look over my comments, and decide which parts you plan to focus on in your final paper. This will probably require expanding or deleting parts of your initial analysis.
Consider each secondary source’s main argument and how it relates to, supports, complicates, or differs from the argument you plan to make in your final paper.
The Secondary Source Integration should not simply be added onto the end of your Primary Source Analysis but rather woven in and responding to specific elements of your own analysis. I recommend that you open a new document when you begin your Secondary Source Integration. You can cut and paste from your Primary Source Analysis and Annotated Bibliography as needed.
Choose two sources that will allow you to engage in conversation, not just sources that agree with or support your main point.
Use the secondary evidence to extend and revise the analysis completed in Step 1: Primary Source Analysis. This is an opportunity to add new sentences to existing paragraphs, to add new paragraphs, and, in general, to revise the existing Primary Source Analysis.
Developing Your SSI
In order to complete the extension and revision of your previous work, consider the following steps:
Focus on your own analytical claims. Interaction with secondary sources should allow for your Research Questions to evolve and to take shape, enabling you to revise or extend claims made in the previous assignment.
Focus on analyzing and integrating the secondary evidence into the conversation. This step requires you to demonstrate how to effectively use secondary sources.
Focus your evolving thesis around a compelling analytical claim while also accounting for all relevant evidence.
You should especially focus on:
Making your Sources Speak by giving evidence (quotes or paraphrases) from each article that shows the article does make the claims you say it makes. You might ask yourself whether or not you have explained the connection between your claims and the secondary evidence completely and explicitly.
Putting your Sources into Conversation with One Another. This move requires that you understand the arguments of the secondary sources and are able to convey this understanding via paraphrase and direct citation. As the title suggests, the emphasis of this step is on you making the sources speak rather than letting the words that you paraphrase or cite speak for themselves or for you; instead, maintain your own critical voice and make clear that the secondary evidence is one part of the conversation, not the featured speaker.
Integrating Sources into your own writing by paraphrasing or splicing quotations into your text.
Citing Sources in proper MLA Style (See “MLA Citation and Style Guide”). You should end the assignment with correct MLA Works Cited entries of the two secondary sources and your primary source.
