  • The sources, paraphrased and/or quoted.
  • The MLA style citation for each each source.
  • A few sentences explaining the relevance of the source in relation to your topic.
  • A few sentences explaining how the source has informed your argument.


Be sure to comment on at least 2 peers, evaluating the relevance of the source in relation to the argument. You may also present counter arguments your peer may not have thought of that he/she needs to address in a counterclaim. Maximum 2 peer comments per research post.
