Your friend says “I’m just going to quote all my sources because it’s easier than paraphrasing.” What should you tell her to help her write a stronger essay?
Responses
Quoting everything is the only way to avoid plagiarism.
Quoting everything is actually a good idea, because then your readers can see your sources’ actual words.
If you quote all the time, your paper will be choppy and hard to read.
You should paraphrase at least in your thesis statement and topic sentences.
