Rival Hypothesis
1. Identify the rival hypothesis you need to address in your essay.
2. Describe the rival source you found and why you selected that source. What makes this a credible source?
3. Copy and paste a 1–5 sentence passage from the source and label it as the “Original Passage.”
4. Paraphrase the short passage you shared in a way that you might use the idea in your essay (for example, refute the rival hypothesis). Be sure to use in-text citations with any sentences paraphrasing ideas from the source, e.g., (Doe, 2013) or According to Jane Doe (2013). Remember from your reading that an effective paraphrase sets up the information and explains it in a way that connects it to your argument (Krause, 2007).
5. Ask an open-ended question related to how you can effectively address the disagreement in your argument or related to paraphrasing and using sources.
6. At the end of your post, provide a complete Reference page citation in APA style for the source.
