You've read information on how to integrate sources—now let's give it a try! Like before, we'll take this one step at a time to ensure you have the support you need to use sources to support your argument.

Return to the key points that you wrote out in your Writing Plan from Module 3. If you have changed your mind about one of your key points, update and save that information now. Choose one of these points you want to strengthen using the research you've already conducted in the Opposing Viewpoints database and online (remember, one and only one of your sources may come from a website you found outside of the database), then follow the prompts below to practice integration.

We'll be using the PIE method of source integration for guidance, so feel free to look back over that material.

However, you should feel free to work on integration for as long as you want. You are welcome to work through the process outlined above using your other two key points as well
