What we covered on Thursday, October 9th:
* Learned about summary, paraphrasing, and quoting:
1) Summarizing
·
Summarizing References
the original source text
·
Condenses the
original text to make it shorter (ex: an abstract of a paper can condense an
article to a paragraph)
·
Uses your own words, NOT the sources’
2) Paraphrasing:
·
* References a specific portion of the source text
·
Uses the author’s
own words
·
Condenses the
source text, but may elaborate on it
·
Must be cited
in-text
3) Quoting
·
References a
small, specific portion of the
source text
·
Uses the sources’
words exactly (within quotation marks)
·
Must be cited
in-text
4) How to quote things in text: traditional quotes
·
According to
some, dreams express "profound aspects of personality" (Foulkes 184),
though others disagree.
·
According to
Foulkes's study, dreams may express "profound aspects of personality"
(184).
·
Is it possible
that dreams may express "profound aspects of personality" (Foulkes
184)?
·
In an essay on urban
legends, Jan Harold Brunvand notes that "some individuals make a point of
learning every recent rumor or tale . . . and in a short time a lively exchange
of details occurs" (78).
5) Block quotes
·
Quotations longer
than four lines of prose are
considered “block quotes”
·
Should be
indented one inch from the margin (hit tab twice). The don’t have quotation marks
·
they still need to be introduced in your own
words, and the citation should still come at the end

Tuesday, October 7th
What we covered on Thursday, October 7th:
* Talked about rhetorical critique vs. idea critique (Rhetorical critique deals more with the rhetorical triangle, logos, ethos, pathos, investigation of audience, investigation of sources used. Usually this is closed form prose about closed form prose. Idea critique usually applies more to open-form prose, like poetry, stories, or plays. In this type of critique, you apply your own personal experience to the ideas in the piece. Mostly, you’re looking to agree or disagree with the ideas and themes expressed in the piece, not a close reading of what the author is doing)
* Completed a freewrite about how you read for pleasure versus when you read for school
* Talked about how reading for pleasure tends to lean toward open-form prose and engages more idea critique than rhetorical critique (i.e. people tend to be more focused on whether or not they agree with the general goals of the piece than on how the piece is written and how the argument is functioning
* Watched Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous I Have a Dream speech and analyzed it rhetorically as a group.
Homework for Thursday:
* Summary exercise. WRITE: A 4 - 7 sentence summary of a movie, book, or TV show episode that you like. Be sure to cover all the main points, but make sure your summary only fits into a couple of sentences.
