Sandwiching your quotes is key to writing a good argument paper. After narrowing your topic, finding support for both sides of the argument will be important. Begin and end each paragraph with your thoughts. Trail and sandwich your thoughts with quotes from authorities on the subject. Think of a sandwich, there are many layers: the bread, meat, tomato, and more. The meat and tomatoes are the quotes from authorities, the mayonnaise, mustard, bread, and salt and pepper (the elements that combine the flavors) are your words. Sandwiching your quotes connects your ideas to the authorities, establishing validity and creditability.
