  1. The Formula of Research Papers

  2. 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1 Whole Paper First 1/3 Your Own Words or YOW • Introduction Paragraph • Conclusion • 1st Sentence of each paragraph (topic) • Last sentence of each paragraph (transition) • In front of, behind, or in the middle of sentence using direct quotations

  3. 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1 Whole Paper Second 1/3 Paraphrase or Summary • Read the material on your note card until you have a full understanding of the statement • Write the entire idea in your own words (YOW) • No quotation marks are required • Cite at the end of the statement or section

  4. Tips on Paraphrasing or Summarizing • Check your rendition with the original to make sure that your version accurately expresses all the essential information in a new form. • Use quotation marks to identify any unique term or phraseology you have borrowed exactly from the source.

  5. 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1 Whole Paper Last 1/3 Direct Quotations • Must be copied word for word (verbatim) • Must have quotation marks around quote • Cite at the end of EVERY sentence • DO NOT WRITE A SENTENCE THAT CONSISTS ENTIRELY OF QUOTED MATERIAL—NO “LONE QUOTES”

  6. Integrating Quotations If you are using directly quoted material, you must use YOW in the sentence somewhere: • “Quoted material” YOW (Smith 252). • YOW “quoted material” (Smith 252). • YOW “quoted material” YOW (Smith 252). • “Quoted material” YOW “quoted material” (Smith 252).

  7. What It Should Look Like By legalizing euthanasia, society creates a door to a slippery slope where the bottom is unnecessary killing resembling the Nazi’s behavior. In China during 1996, news spread that children were being starved to death and left on the streets because they were selecting the “superior” children over the “inferior” (Dowbiggin 144). Just because the child may be born with a slight problem does not give anyone the right to discard them as if they were trash, they are human beings just like everyone else. “The single idea of a life devoid of value was influential” in the German and Nazi view of euthanasia;

  8. this idea “snowballed” into the horrific stories of The Holocaust (Burgess 169). To accept euthanasia would give some the idea that “killing [is] routine” (171). The slippery slope started when Hitler gave doctors permission to euthanize mentally and physically handicapped people (Dowbiggin 92). Soon doctors became so used to the idea of killing that they started to kill anyone slightly challenged or different; when the doctors were sent to different camps they continued to exterminate thousands of people (94). By legalizing euthanasia, society will start a slide into “greater disrespect for the value of human life” (Peck 357-58). Another way slippery slope could be avoided is if families were always there for each other.
