However, if you want to use outside sources you are welcome to do so with some exceptions. YOU MUST CITE! Otherwise this is….? You must cite it in the text of your essay (we will go over this in a minute) and you must include a works cited page.

15 Acceptable Sources Before you use a source make sure it is reliable. If you are on a website and can’t find a ‘Who we are’ kind of section: skip it. The information must be corroborated.

You can absolutely use it to spark some ideas
