reminder about sources!
Keep in mind that you will ALWAYS need sources to back up each individual claim that you make. This is something that we often forget to include. Take for instance the claim that “Macbeth does not kill out of vengeance, but in order to acquire more power” needs to be backed up with information from credible sources such as JSTOR, a literary criticism of Macbeth, or the text of Macbeth itself. This will not only solidify your assertions, but will also establish your own credibility.
