Presentation transcript:

Using the Words of Others Where can I strengthen my argument by referring to one of the texts? Should I quote directly from the text, paraphrase a short piece of the text, or summarize the entire text? Where can I improve my writing by taking a passage I quoted and paraphrasing it or shortening the length of the quotation to a few key words? In each case where I have referred to a text, have I explained how it contributes to my argument? Have I accurately identified the source of the material that I have quoted, paraphrased, or summarized?

Revising Think about your audience, your purpose, your image as a writer, and your arguments, including the evidence that supports them. Who will read your essay? What do your readers probably think or believe about your topic? How much background information will they need? What is your purpose in writing? What questions are you trying to answer? What are you trying to accomplish? If readers disagree with your thesis or the validity of your support, what would they say? How would you answer them? Does the order of your paragraphs make sense? Are they logically ordered? Are the stronger arguments later in the essay?

Editing the Draft Read your essay aloud so you can hear your errors. Focus on individual words and sentences rather than overall meaning. Take a sheet of paper, and cover everything except the line you are reading. Then touch your pencil to each word as you read. With a partner, figure out your pattern of errors– the most serious and frequent errors you make (punctuation of quotations, sentence fragments, use of personal pronouns, etc). List three of your patterns of error at the end of your rough draft. Use a dictionary to check spelling and confirm you’ve chosen the right word for the context.
