ANY FACTS OR EVIDENCE MUST BE CITED WITHIN YOUR ESSAYS JUST LIKE ANY OTHER ESSAY WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. FOR INSTANCE: "Citing your information is important as it tells the reader you did not plagiarize" (McGuirk).
The only difference between the research essay and our expository essay is a WORKS CITED page. Since you have multiple souces, you need to tell me where you found the information you are using. Since we've only used 1 source in our past essays, it wasn't necessary.
If you are struggling, look at the 2 essays you had as examples.
