Additional Instruction for completing your assignment with the use of key words
• Transitional and linking words
Linking words are important. If you are grouping together writers with similar opinions, you would use words or phrases such as: similarly, in addition, also, again , adds, emphasizes, says, writes, claims, comments, notes, discusses, contends, suggests, asserts, believes, proposes, speculates, points out, emphasizes, agrees, confirms, argues, confers, aver, expresses, indicates, alludes, infers, discusses, contrasts, contravenes, proclaims, echoes, avows, discredits, explains, dissects, appeases, contrariwise, converses, contrasts...
• If there is disagreement….
More importantly, if there is disagreement, you need to indicate clearly that you are aware of this by the use of linkers such as:
However, on the other hand, conversely, nevertheless, disagrees, on the contrary, challenges, opposes, differs, departs, criticize etc...
If when introducing someone's opinion, don't use "says", but instead an appropriate verb which more accurately reflects this viewpoint, such as "argues", "claims" or "states". Use the present tense for general opinions and theories, or the past when referring to specific research or experiments.
