Incorporating Research  Read the paper  Highlight/circle each quote  Take notes in the margin  What kind of hook is it?  What is the thesis?  what is each main point?  Create a Reverse Outline  Separate piece of paper  Each Paragraph  Each main point

Using Quotes/Evidence each paragraph 1.Write the the top of the paper 2.What is the main point of the paragraph? 3.How does the author use each quote? – How does she introduce the quote? – What quote is used – What does it mean to her paragraph? – How does it prove her thesis? “You’ve got about as much charm as a dead slug” He insults her because he can’t trust himself to care for her, as he knows she will likely be dead in a matter of days Haymitch, who starts out a drunk… actually becomes very helpful.. Pg 67 It shows that both Haymitch first showed dislike to protect himself from the hurt her death would cause. Throughout story each character’s mindset and outlook.. As he trains her, he tells Katniss

Quoting Pg 393 Quotations must be identical to the original, using a narrow segment of the source. They must match the source document word for word and must be attributed to the original author. – Direct quotation. Jon Krakauer says, “I had been granted unusual freedom and responsibility at an early age, for which I should have been grateful in the extreme, but I wasn’t” (Krakauer, 148).

Paraphrasing Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. A paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source. Paraphrased material is usually shorter than the original passage, taking a somewhat broader segment of the source and condensing it slightly. – Paraphrase. In Chapter 11 of Into the Wild, Walt, McCandless’s father, remembers an early hike with twelve-year-old Chris. They made it to 13,000 feet before turning back from the 14,256-foot summit in Colorado. Chris did not want to quit, and complained all the way down (Krakauer, 109).

Summarizing Summarizing involves putting the main idea(s) into your own words, including only the main point(s). Once again, it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas to the original source. Summaries are significantly shorter than the original and take a broad overview of the source material. Summary. In Into the Wild, Krakauer seems to be working out his own past and his relationship with his father as well as telling the sad story of Chris McCandless. Because Krakauer, too, is a man of the outdoors, he understands something about the call of the wild.

Obvious Plagiarism buying, stealing, or borrowing a paper (including, of course, copying an entire paper or article from the Web); hiring someone to write your paper for you; and copying large sections of text from a source without quotation marks or proper citation.

Cite It Words or ideas presented in a magazine, book, newspaper, song, TV program, movie, Web page, computer program, letter, advertisement, or any other medium Information you gain through interviewing or conversing with another person, face to face, over the phone, or in writing When you copy the exact words or a unique phrase When you reprint any diagrams, illustrations, charts, pictures, or other visual materials When you reuse or repost any electronically-available media, including images, audio, video, or other media

DON’T Cite It Writing your own lived experiences, your own observations and insights, your own thoughts, and your own conclusions about a subject When you are writing up your own results obtained through lab or field experiments When you use your own artwork, digital photographs, video, audio, etc. When you are using "common knowledge," things like folklore, common sense observations, myths, urban legends, and historical events (but not historical documents) When you are using generally-accepted facts, e.g., pollution is bad for the environment, including facts that are accepted within particular discourse communities, e.g., in the field of composition studies, "writing is a process" is a generally- accepted fact.

Must Cite in 2 places: In-text Works Cited Page (also known as ‘parenthetical documentation’) In other words- in parentheses. Your in-text citations work with your bibliography (works cited) page to identify where any quotes or ideas borrowed from another author came from. “References in the text MUST clearly point to specific sources in the list of works cited.” - MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 6 th ed.
