Follett Discover
• Analyze the primary source evidence.
After you have presented a source, explain what it means and how it proves your argument.
Be clear about how you use this source. What is its purpose, its audience, its methods, its biases, its limitations?
• Use quotations judiciously.
o Quotations are effective, but overuse diminishes your authority.
• Avoid the use of “T” or “This essay will prove.”
A formal academic essay does not use such sentence constructions.
