PD. Document EVERYTHING that isn't your own idea. If you quote it, put quotations around it and put the author's name and page number (if applicable) afterward. If you paraphrase it, but it's still someone else's original idea, no quotes, but you still put author's name pg. number in parenthesis. If it is COMMON KNOWLEDGE. Like Abe lincoln was a president, or information that can be found on numerous sites or books, no documentation needed. IF you are paraphrasing and your paraphrase sprinkles in information over the course of numerous lines, you should drop in documentation about every 3-4 lines. It seems like there will be a lot of documentation in the first two prongs of your paper. There will be. Hope that helps.
