2. Find a quote that supports the main idea above
Main Idea 2: The workers are happier because of the program
4. Find a quote that supports the main idea
5. Write a sentence or two that clearly situates the quote within the paragraph and include an appropriate in-text citation at the end of the quote.
Main Idea 3: The workers are helping the community and their efforts are appreciated

7. Write two sentences that connect this main idea and contrasts it to Adriann’s thinking. Use the quote with a corresponding in-text citation
Conclusion:
