I’m glad you were able to complete the common idea sentence– check out Olivia’s post to see the possibilities of an even more analytical topic sentence. Additionally, you don’t have to tell me that both articles tackle this issue, instead you can just cite an example from your first article, explain it, and then move on to your second article. You also don’t need to give the article titles– you can do that ONCE in your intro paragraph. The YEAR of publication should go in parentheses: The Editorial Board (2017), “….” (para. 2). <-notice the period is OUTSIDE of the parenthetical.
