Use Sources Correctly

You will not 'prove' anything in the Introduction Paragraph or Conclusion Paragraph. Use sources in the Body Paragraphs.

Incorporate Sources into your Body Paragraphs to assert your ideas, defend your argument, and develop your support. You will only 'prove' your THESIS in your Body Paragraphs.
