Be able to integrate their ideas with others using summary, paraphrase, quotation, analysis, and synthesis of relevant sources.

Integrating ideas into your writing is important because it brings out a voice and opinion in your writing. However, to strengthen the claims you are trying to make in your writing you must also integrate other’s ideas whether similar to your view or not. Bringing in other sources helps make you writing stronger because it shows that it’s not just an idea you are putting out but also something others view and see. If the ideas, you integrate are against your views as well also helps because it allows for you to counter them to make your point come across more. When I was in high school majority of my writing when I though integrating sources meant having to place quotes within in the essay and explain the quotes relevance of it being placed into my writing. I also felt like my writing couldn’t really have my own ideas and my own experiences. Since taking English Composition, I’ve found ways to incorporate my own ideas but also in collaboration with other sources ideas. Using quotation styles such as paraphrase, partial quotes and full quotes in addition to using different techniques to incorporate sources such as the quote sandwich technique and using a Barclay paragraph structure to compare two sources.

Using a partial quote to continue the flow of the sentence.
By using this partial quote it helped my writing since this was a point where I saw that me and the author had similar ideas that the author had also stated. Because I was able to understand the meaning of this quote I felt that placing it would also make the reader have a similar impact. It allows for me as the writer to incorporate the authors ideas even though I have the same thoughts.
In this example I used a paraphrasing technique.
Using a paraphrase allows for the writer to have more creative ability with the wording that the author had used. In this example as I summarize, I used similar language as DFW because of this I still need to cite him, but I was also able to convey my own meaning and interpretation for the readers.
