Today’s Slide Design: Circuit

Today’s Agenda Step #7: Finding and Compiling Evidence Step #8: Outlining

What is evidence? PROOF Proof in science? Data Proof in history? Historical details Proof in literary analyses? Examples and quotes from the text What crucial component is necessary in proving your argument? Analysis of evidence

How do you find evidence? Return to the primary source and consider: Are there specific scenes or events that stick out as important and relate to your essay topic? Should you find a balance of evidence from story’s beginning, middle, and end? Does the evidence you find relate directly to your essay prompt or question? Does your evidence give you something to analyze? Is there enough to say about this example to warrant devoting a paragraph or sections of a paragraph to it?

When choosing evidence, be careful… That the evidence chosen is not too long to quote That you can provide adequate background and context That the evidence develops and supports your argument and does not simply further plot That the quote is not self-evident, but instead requires explanation

Homework for Friday, Nov. 10 Compile at least three specific pieces of evidence For each example, include two to three sentences explaining how this evidence relates to your essay topic. Draft a tentative thesis. Use the “thesis checklist” to review your thesis’ effectiveness.

Outlining Why do we outline? When do we outline?

Outlining Types of Outlines to discuss: Formal Outline Informal: Listing Outline Informal: Thesis & Major Ideas Outline Informal: Chart Outline

Outlining: Formal Outline Formal Outline: Guidelines Put the thesis at the top. Use sentences unless phrases are clear. Use conventional system of numbering (I, II, III, a, b, c, etc.). Use at least two subdivisions (a, b, c, etc.), since nothing can be divided into fewer than two parts Group details with other details of equal importance and significance. Limit the number of major sections in the outline (avoid an outline that looks like a laundry list). Be flexible; your outline will change as your drafts evolve.

Outlining: Informal Outline #1 Listing Outline: Guidelines Review your listing prewriting. Mark through ideas you do not intend to use. Add additional ideas. Number to create logical order or rank importance.

Outlining: Informal Outline #2 Thesis and Major Ideas Outline: Guidelines Begin with thesis. List major ideas. Number to create logical order or rank importance.

Outlining: Informal Outline #3 Chart Outline: Guidelines Begin with thesis and top of page Divide your paper into blocks according to essay prompt. Label columns according to tasks. Fill in necessary information.

Outlining: Informal Outline #3 Chart Outline: Example Original Essay Prompt: In James Joyce’s Araby, the author uses the unnamed narrator as the vehicle for the story’s message. Discuss the narrator’s overall development throughout the course of story, including the way in which this contributes to the story’s overall purpose. Cite at least three specific pieces of evidence to illustrate your discussion.

Outlining: Informal Outline #3 Chart Outline: Example Revised Essay Prompt: In James Joyce’s Araby, the author uses the unnamed narrator as the vehicle for the story’s message. Identify the three major stages in the narrator’s development and link this progression back to Joyce’s overall purpose. Cite at least three specific pieces of evidence to illustrate your discussion.
