Integrating Ideas
Integration of ideas is important, being able to represent another persons ideas to further prove a point of your own is an important aspect of writing well written papers. Correct incorporation of sources with proper MLA format is a major part of English 110 as it has been used in all of our important papers so far. But besides being able to correctly source them, correct integration of works other than your own is imperative to a papers success. Within Paper #3 titled “The Birth of Outsiders in Modern Education” I believe I use the best techniques of integrating outside sources into my paper. A example of integration is as follows
A prime example of feeling like an outsider to a group specifically due to a difficulty in reading in grade school comes from Ben Lui.“I was filled with so much embarrassment when it came my turn to make my contribution and I had nothing to say. I felt overwhelmed every time I began reading and started to feel hopeless. I could not understand how everyone else was going through reading so easily”(Lui, 1). Lui perfectly exemplifies the effect of which poor reading skills can make students feel extricated from not only the peer group but even their friends.
This is proper incorporation of an outsider idea because along with MLA citing, the quote is properly introduced so that the reader is aware of what to take away from the quote and properly ended to further explain what the quote means and how it ties into the main ideas of the paragraph.
