Start by organizing all of your sources. An outline can help you determine where you will be using each source. Then, determine the best way to cite the source. You can use direct quotes or paraphrasing. Just make sure to give credit where needed. I like to do my in-text citations as I write, so I do not accidently miss one. Plagiarizing by accident is still plagiarizing, so always thoroughly proof-read your papers. 

You're in luck! We created a Crediting Sources Tutorial that walks you through citing and avoiding plagiarism.
