Using Articles to Back-Up the Editorial

How do you use non-fiction articles to back up your editorial?

1. If you feel strongly about something, you want to find articles that support your argument. Read the article carefully before you use it as a quote.

2. If you can't find articles to support your position, maybe you should think about your argument or approach it from a different point of view.

3. An opinion is like a hypothesis that you're trying to prove. Finding articles is like doing an experiment and trying different solutions. You keep trying until you find the right article that will prove your point.

4. You can always cut, paste,insert, and erase. See me if you have any problems.
