As part of being in a rhetorical conversation, we discuss how you have to cite the sources you use. Not only do you have to cite them, but you have to understand sources to use them well. Read Margaret Kantzs article about using sources. Then answer the following questions:

1) Make a list of the things Kantz says students dont know, misunderstand, or dont comprehend about how texts work. Judging from your own experience, do you think she is correct about student understanding? How many of the things she lists do you feel you understand better now?

2) As its title indicates, Kantzs article has to do with using sources persuasively. Did her article teach you anything new about the persuasive use of sources to support an argument? If so, what?
