Try to summarize the main focus of your RAB in a few sentences. Now take a quote from your library source and use the quote sandwich to enter the conversation on your topic.
Short RAB Reflection
What are some discoveries you have made so far while researching? Did your hypothesis remain the same or did the research reveal some opposing ideas? Finally, did you find yourself disagreeing with a source? Why or why not?
Reviewing your Quotations
Look at something you have written for the RAB assignment. Have you quoted any sources? If so, how have you integrated the quotation into your own text? How have you introduced it? How have you explained what it means? How have you indicated how it relates to your text? If you haven’t done all these things, revise your text to do so, perhaps using the Templates for Introducing Quotations (p. 46) and Explaining Quotations (pp. 46-47). If you’ve not written anything with quotations, try revising some academic text you’ve written to do so.
