How do you add quotations and supporting information to my editorial to back-up your argument?
1. Look at your opening paragraph. This is what you want people to agree with when they finish reading your editorial. Do you have enough direct quotes from articles to back it up?
2. Make sure you have at least a direct quote in the introduction. Use indirect quotes, which are other people's words that are paraphrased, in each of the other paragraphs.
3. Read it out loud and listen to the rhythm of it. Does it flow from one sentence to the next? Is it jumping all over the place? Make any corrections and if you have a question or need help, see me.
4. Read your editorial to a fellow student. Did they find it interesting? Ask their opinion. Help each other to make strong arguments.
