8. 3D Printing WOD

9. 3D Printing: Argument Essay
BACKGROUND:
3D printing is a process of making three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process, an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is created. For example, prosthetic limbs are objects that can be created using this process. Many other objects can be created as well. This creative process is causing many debates related to the legal and ethical aspects of 3-D printing.
Carefully read the sources to better understand how a variety of different objects can be created using 3-D printers. Then synthesize information from at least three (3) of the sources and incorporate it into a coherent, well-developed argument for your own position.
PROMPT:
3-D printing, while relatively new to our society, has become a topic of much discussion. It has shown much promise for enhancing our lifestyle, yet it has also created a concern because of the ramifications, or potential problems, associated with this new technology. Consider all aspects of the topic and decide if the benefits of 3D printing outweigh the consequences or vice versa.

12. Annotating

13. What is Annotating? an·no·tate /ˈanəˌtāt/ verb
1. add notes to (a text or diagram) giving explanation or comment "documentation should be annotated with explanatory notes" synonyms: comment on, add notes/footnotes to
AKA: Mark up the page with MEANINGFUL comments
The following are NOT annotations:
This is sad 
I think so too!
Random highlights without explanation

14. First Steps of Annotating
WRITE: Number the paragraphs or “chunks” of text
THINK: Take a look at the title/author/publisher/date of publication
Do you recognize the author’s name?
Was this article published a long time ago?
THINK: Make predictions
Based on the title, what could this be about?
THINK: Question Reliability of Source
If it is from Wikipedia or Ask.com etc. it is NOT reliable! Run away from this source!
WRITE: Begin to annotate using the abbreviation codes on your bookmark
Forbs is a well known/reliable magazine 1 2 3 4 5
Prediction-the author will probably say that 3D printing is okay.
This source is only 2 years old-it should still have fairly recent information.

15. Suggested Coding V=Vocabulary word ?=Question
You need to look it up OR it is a great Tier 3 word
?=Question
This question could be answered in another source
*=Information that supports the thesis statement/author
This info will back up their opinion
Underline=Details that are against the author’s position
A counterargument they include
TT=Text to Text
Another article, book etc connects to it
TW=Text to World
Connects to a current event
TS=Text to Self (use sparingly!)
Connects to your own life
Highlight important info that you might use as evidence in your actual essay

16. Group Practice for annotating:
Look at the article “What 3-D Printing Could Mean for Small Businesses”
Number every paragraph
THINK: Take a look at the title/author/publisher/date of publication
Do you recognize the author’s name?
Was this article published a long time ago?
THINK: Make predictions
Based on the title, what could this be about?
THINK: Question Reliability of Source
Each table is in charge of a different part of the bookmark
Decide as a class what you need to write
We will combine info as a class
**Write in a different color than you originally did!**

17. 5 August 2016
Please get out your agenda, Inspiration quote assignment, warm-ups, and WOD notes
Warm-up: What are the steps in completing a WOD? List them.
What is the procedure for annotating? Why is it not okay to just underline or highlight?

18. How do I annotate something that I can’t write on?!
Fill out the “Analyzing Visuals” paper
Good for:
Videos
Photos
Paintings etc.

19. Organizing the overall Essay

20. Essay organization
4 paragraphs:
Introduction
Body
Conclusion

21. Introduction

22. Introduction sentences
This paragraph introduces the topic and provides a roadmap for the rest of the paper. Introduction is 2-4 sentences in length.
What do you need to include?
Attention Grabber- The first sentence to “hook” your audience
Thesis Statement – 1 sentence that explains…
Your stance
2 reasons you are right (make sure you can back up your opinion with the information from the articles!)

23. Hook/Attention Grabber Ideas
Shocking statements – a startling statement can attract people easily to join the conversation.
Scene hook – the scene hook instantly instructs the mind of the reader to picture the scene.
Literary quote hooks –Certain quotes from popular works such as Romeo and Juliet could become really nice hooks especially when the theme of the essay is a utopian one.
Humorous hook –You can use some humor in your essay by simply providing a statement that is ridiculously funny or absurd. Adding humor into your work makes the article more exciting and develops the reader’s interest into the topic.

24. Avoid these Attention Grabbers
Have you ever wondered…?
The definition of ____ is…
In this essay I will tell you about…
SHOW ME, DON’T TELL ME!!!

25. Thesis Statement
A THESIS STATEMENT…  It is one complete sentence that answers the prompt and contains two main ideas to support the response. It proves that your opinion is right!
How to Generate a Thesis Statement:
Almost all assignments, no matter how complicated, can be reduced to a single question.
For example, if your assignment is, “Write a report to the local school board explaining the potential benefits of using computers in a fourth-grade class.”
Filter it to: “What are the potential benefits of using computers in a fourth- grade class?”

26. The answer to the question is the thesis statement for the essay.
Answer the question
Turn your answer to the question into a complete sentence…then you have your thesis!
Q: “What are the potential benefits of using computers in a fourth-grade class?”
A: “The potential benefits of using computers in a fourth-grade class are . . .” OR
A: “Using computers in a fourth-grade class promises to improve . . .” (better option)
The answer to the question is the thesis statement for the essay.

27. FORMULA FOR THESIS STATEMENTS
T + O + 𝑹 𝟐
Topic + Opinion + Reasons (2-3)
Take a look at your underlined thesis statement in your essay
Do you have two reasons?
In other words, do you inform your reader as to what your body paragraphs will cover?
If not, it is too vague, general, and confusing

28. Group practice thesis statements
With your group, write a good thesis statement for this WOD using the T+O+R method
Write with a dark pen or marker on the sticky note provided
Label each portion: Topic, Opinion, Reasons
After you finish, ask yourselves the following questions:
1. Did we follow the T+O+R format?
2. Do our reasons define what we will cover in each body paragraph?
3. Is our thesis statement easy to read under the doc-cam?

29. Body Paragraphs

30. Body Paragraphs
2 body paragraphs
Use SEE sets

31. Writing SEE Sets: Writing Made Visible
SEE set is for argument or explanatory essays.
S—Statement about your topic that you are going to prove and explain.
E—Evidence that proves your topic (facts/quotes from the sources)*
E—Explanation or Elaboration of that evidence that connects it back to your original statement.
_____________________________________________________________
*Source Evidence-This is evidence taken from a text. It must be punctuated AND cited appropriately.

32. Statement
Evidence
Explanation/Elaboration
Example:
S: Many people who need organ transplants die before a suitable organ can be obtained.
E:Russon shares that a U.S. company “designs and creates living human tissue…that can grow into human organs.”
E: Technology advancements such as this can only serve to radically increase the critical dearth of transplantable organs.

33. Check your body paragraphs in your essay
Do they have two “SEE sets”?
What are you missing?
Why do you think using the SEE set format will help the development of your paragraphs?
Remember this when you re-write your WOD essay

34. Basic Paragraph Structure Impressive Writing Is Clear Thinking Made Visible
A well-developed paragraph is two or more SEE sets expanded; however, you need to use a TOPIC SENTENCE at the beginning and a CONCLUDING SENTENCE at the end.
Topic Sentence-Statement that clarifies your focus for the paragraph
SEE Set-Statement/example/explanation of your 1st piece of evidence
SEE Set-Statement/example/explanation of your 2nd piece of evidence
Concluding Sentence-Commentary that ties these SEE sets back to your topic sentence.
Total of 8-11 sentences

35. Breakdown of Paragraph Sentences
Topic Sentence
Statement
Evidence
Explanation
Statement (serves as a transition too!)
Conclusion Sentence

36. Group practice see sets
Who has better supers powers, Spiderman or Superman?
Together as a group, make a SEE poster in response to the question.
Statement—take a side
Evidence—”For example…”
Explanation/elaboration—why are these powers better?
Write large enough letters to be read on the doc-cam
When your group is finished, you will be presenting them to the class

37. The Counterargument

38. Counter Argument
Shorter essay: Single SEE set within your second body paragraph
Longer essay: 5 paragraph or larger gets it’s own paragraph
There is a reason your argument could be wrong…what is it?
Example: If you think 4th grade classrooms should get computers…why would someone think they shouldn’t?
Too expensive
Should focus on handwriting
They can do everything out of a book

39. Counterargument SEE set
On the other hand, the use of 3D printing poses some daunting challenges. One such concern is the Illegal production of guns. In NPR, ATF assistant director Marianos observes that “when these 3-D firearms are manufactured, some of the weapons can defeat normal” (Johnson). 3D printing makes it significantly easier for criminals to obtain weapons that can be used to commit crimes.

40. The Conclusion

41. Conclusion
This paragraph does not merely repeat what has already been said. Instead it offers new insight and leaves the reader with something to think about. This paragraph is 2-3 sentences in length.
What do I need to include?
Restate your thesis using different words
Tie it back to your hook

42. Tier 2 vs. Tier 3 words

43. Notice this Paper:

44. Tier 2 and Tier 3 words Highlight in the essay you write
Be sure to provide the grader with a key! They need to know if a yellow highlight means Tier 2 or Tier 3

45. Tier 2 words AKA “Power Verbs” AKA Jargon or check the Word Wall!
Serve as a way to introduce a quote
You can use these in ALL of your writing on demands
Examples:
Acknowledges
Justifies
Qualifies
Questions
Clarifies

46. Bad Tier 2 words
Says
Writes

47. Tier 3 words Specific to whatever the topic is
You will only use these Tier 3 words on this WOD
Examples for the 3D printer WOD: 3D
Technology
Printing
Manufactures
Technical

48. How to Cite

49. Citations You have to give the author credit for his/her ideas
Requirements:
Put their words in “quotation marks” in order to show that they are the one who came up with it

Embedded citations: In the lead in of a sentence include the author’s

50. RULES to remember:
You must have a lead in to your quote-evidence can not be just one big quote.
Good Example: According to Freddie Dawson, a writer for Forbes magazine, “3D printing has been hailed as revolutionary technology without significant potential to alter business, manufacturing and society in general.”
Bad example: “3D printing has been hailed as revolutionary technology without significant potential to alter business, manufacturing and society in general.”
Don’t START or END a paragraph with direct quotes
Don’t use quotes in
Introduction
Conclusion
Keep quotes short

51. Rules continued: Your quote must make sense in your sentence.
Bad: John Patrick Pullen, writer for Entrepreneur likes 3- D printers “3-D printers can't print money, but they can produce prototypes for almost anything else.”
Good: John Patrick Pullen, writer for Entrepreneur, knows there’s limitations to 3-D printing, but also recognizes the merits of it when he clarifies that, “3-D printers can't print money, but they can produce prototypes for almost anything else.”

59. What if I don’t know part of the source?
Know the author’s name?
Use their name
Don’t know the author’s name?
Use the “Article Title” in quotation marks
Don’t know the “Article Title?”

Is this even a reliable source?!

60. Rules for Citing Example of Parenthetical Citation – Known Author
According to the website The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the author of the article argues, “One reason may be that animals are routinely given growth- hormones, antibiotics, and even pesticides, which remain in their flesh and are passed on to meat-eaters” (Smith 2).

61. Rules for Citing
Example of Parenthetical Citation – Unknown Author, Use Article Title in Quotes
According to The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals website, an article dedicated to improving animal treatment argues, “One reason may be that animals are routinely given growth-hormones, antibiotics, and even pesticides, which remain in their flesh and are passed on to meat-eaters” (“Vegetarianism”).

62. Let’s practice Use your WOD essay
Examine each quote/evidence in your essay
Reformat each quote/evidence to be sure that each has:
author / source
Tier 2 word
parenthetical citation (if needed)

63. How I grade your WOD
Pretend you are grading with me, and fix your own errors.

64. Step #1: Basic Conventions etc.
Needs correct grammar, word choice, sentence fluency
On your paper: Fix any convention errors

65. Step #2: Evidence, Evidence, Evidence!
Should have 2 pieces of evidence in each body paragraph.
On your own paper: <BRACKET> ALL of your evidence.
Every. Single. Fact.
No matter how it is cited or formatted.

66. Step #3: Lead ins A sentence can NOT just be a quote
Bad example: At the age of five or 6 children have trouble distinguishing fantasy from reality” (O’Sullivan).
Use the word wall for power verbs
Make sure it flows as a full sentence.
NO: Advertisements are bad, “At the age of five or 6 children have trouble distinguishing fantasy from reality (O’Sullivan).
Yes: O’Sullivan argues that advertisements harm our children when he found that, “At the age of five or 6 children have trouble distinguishing fantasy from reality.”
On your paper: circle where you need a lead in but do not have one

67. Step #4: Citation Format
All of your facts should have citations
In-text citation
Example: A lead in including the author or title of the article, “interesting quote.”
According to the chart, “To what extent do you trust the following forms of advertising?” 92% of consumers trust recommendations from people they know. OR
Parenthetical citation
A lead in phrase using a power verb from the word wall, “Quote word for word from the source” (Author Last name OR “Title”).
Example: A study found that 92% of consumers trust recommendations from people they know (“To what extent do you trust the following forms of advertising?”).
NO:
Source A, B etc.
Use the citations from the front page of the packet!
On your paper: fix your citations

68. Step #5: Essay format 4 paragraphs total 8 sentences in each paragraph
On your paper: Write the number of paragraphs you have at the top
On your paper: Write the number of sentences you have in each paragraph in the left margin.

69. Step #6: Body Paragraphs SEE sets
Topic Sentence
SEE Set
Conclusion Sentence
On your paper in the left margin: Have more or less than 8 sentences? Write down what type of sentences you are missing or have too much of.
IE: Missing 1 evidence

70. Step #7: Introduction Attention grabber Background Thesis
NO!
Have you ever wondered…?
Did you know…?
Advertisements are everywhere
Lots of people see advertisements
Background
Lead up to if your thesis is going to support advertisements or not
Thesis
Effect
Two reasons
On your paper: Re-write your attention grabber and thesis (if necessary)

71. Step #8: Title Creative! NO:
WOD
3D Printers
3D Printers are Good
On your paper: if you have any of the above simple titles, re-write it

72. Step #9: First person No I, me, us, our, we
On your paper: Cross out any first person words

73. Step #10: Contractions No contractions
Can’t, won’t, don’t etc.
Don’t = do not
On your paper: Change any contractions to proper format

74. Bonus Step: MLA Always: On timed (in class) essays:
Header
Heading
On timed (in class) essays:
