Why: Identifying areas where your argument requires evidence or where you need additional information to support your ideas is a crucial research and writing skill. This assignment will help you practice the process of incorporating evidence with your ideas in a low stakes way – through the outline.
How: Look over your outline and mark off the sections that require you to incorporate evidence. Find the page or range of pages in your source where the evidence is located, then include that information as an in-text citation. For example, if one item on your outline is the “War on Drugs,” you might include this MLA in-text citation (Alexander 77-80). This will inevitably help you find your way back to the information referenced in your outline.
