How To Answer Questions Well

Presentation transcript:

You have your themes selected. Now what?! You need to find EVIDENCE from the PLAY to back up each theme using IN TEXT CITATIONS. How do you do that? You can use direct quotes (“Bah! Humbug!), paraphrase (express the meaning of the writer using different words to achieve greater clarity) or you could summarize (give a brief statement of the main points)

Anyone Completely Lost?!Anyone Completely Lost?!

 Anyone worried about how to put this paper all together?

Please find a partner!Please find a partner! Yes, find a PARTNER !

Once again…Once again… You need to find EVIDENCE from the PLAY to back up each theme using IN TEXT CITATIONS. How do you do that? You can use direct quotes (“Bah! Humbug!), paraphrase (express the meaning of the writer using different words to achieve greater clarity) or you could summarize (give a brief statement of the main points)

What are in-text citations?What are in-text citations?  When you include sources in your writing, you need to cite (or give credit to) the original author. In-text citations allow authors to credit their sources immediately after they quote them in the text. This method allows the reader to immediately see the author’s source.

How do you put it all together in your paragraphs?  When should in-text citations be used? An author should include in-text citations whenever he or she directly quotes, paraphrases or summarizes a source. EXAMPLE: “…every idiot who goes about with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.” (Scene 1, Lines 24-27).

Cite your source AFTER the evidence! “…every idiot who goes about with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.” (Scene 1, Lines 24-27). Need to state the SCENE, followed by the LINES the quote was found. Make sure this is in ( ………) and followed by a PERIOD.

Now what?!Now what?!  You need to select just ONE theme that you feel is the most important. It needs to be different than you partner.

Instead of writing a paper…Instead of writing a paper… you’ll be expected to write a PARAGRAPH that has a solid TOPIC SENTENCE (state “ACC” and Charles Dickens for sure), lots of support/evidence (and most certainly an in-text citation) in your SUPPORTING SENTENCES and finally an effective CONCLUDING SENTENCE that wraps everything up.
