Having a rough draft means you can make changes as you go. After you have worked with your notes, it will become apparent whether or not you have done enough research. If you find that there are parts of your paper that are not complete enough or lack necessary details, you may have to go back and do some additional research. When you write your paper it is necessary to cite where you got the information you are using. To paraphrase means to put something in your own words.
Direct quote means to copy exact words or phrases from a source.
The rest must be paraphrased. Your words may be different, but the ideas belong to someone else. The last page in your research paper is called the Works Cited page. On this page, must list each resource you used to research and write your paper. If there is no author, use the name of the article or book.
