HPQ essay

For my HPQ essay, I've found myself just reciting back the ideas from all my sources in my own words...is that plagiarism of their ideas? If so how do I avoid this?

Hi!

There are a few ways to avoid this! But if you cite them after stating the idea it doesn't count as plagiarism!

You can always build your argument and then use the idea as evidence to support your point!

After the idea, state what this highlights or shows

try to group ideas that are similar in the same argument and then argue against the argument with other sources (make sure to cite these)

Hope this helps!
