Post 3: An Outside View

Using outside sources in an academic standpoint in a writing class can be extremely useful. Not only does it give extra substantive ideas, but it gets other published articles more reads. Citing outside sources in an article or essay or any piece of writing allows for the reader to trust the author more, and it gives the idea that the topic has been greatly researched by the author, making the author, and the article very credible. Credibility in the writing world is very important, as it showcases how much an author worked on getting the reader the most, and honest information they can. In my Doc1, I used at least one outside source in each paragraph that gave a different solution for my problem that I came up with, using Google Gemini's help, in my essay for college students. As for high school students, Mike Bunn in "How to Read Like a Writer" gave many ideas on how reading like a writer makes for a better writer.
I agree that utilizing creditable sources as a writer increases the credibility of the writer. It is no doubt that using creditable sources shows that the writer put effort in making their piece of writing more effective and trustworthy. I like how you also incorporated that same idea into your own doc1 essay by putting at least one source for each paragraph.
ReplyDeleteUsing outsides sources can help make the writers story more creditable when used correctly. I love how you went into detail about how Bunn used his outside sources and how even when you wrote Doc1 how you used your outside sources. That shows and helps with your argument in this topic.
