  1. Interpreting Ms. Parson’s Notes & Comments – An Introduction

  2. Codes • W.C. – word choice • Awk – awkwardly worded • T.S. – topic sentence/thesis statement (depending) • Agr. – agreemen • Pro./ante. = pronoun/antecedent • Sing./plur. = singular vs. plural noun/pronoun • QP – quote plop • Lacking an introduction or interaction

  3. Words to avoid (a.k.a. NEVER USE) • things stuff • very, really, a lot • contractions • don’t, doesn’t, isn’t, can’t, etc. • I think, I believe, I feel • In conclusion • slang

  4. But where’s my grade… • It exists in the cloud. • I want you to look at comments before scores and work on improving. • You will resubmit your paper on Monday with all the necessary changes

  5. Framing Quotes • Quotes cannot stand alone • Use the three-part formula • Introducte (often in the form of a tag) • Gives context for the reader • Who’s speaking, when in the text, why • Insert the quote • Watch punctuation • Interact with the quote • Explain what it means and why you used it • Don’t assume we can make that connection

  6. Tag + quote Calypso says to him, “If you only knew, down deep, what pains are fated to fill your cup before you reach that shore, you’d stay right here, preside in our house with me and be immortal”(V.228-231). *You only need a comma before your quote if you’re using a speech tag directly before it.

  7. Full sentence + colon + quote In her conversation with Hermes, she reveals that she offered Odysseus the best gift that she could offer:“I welcomed him warmly, cherished him, even vowed to make the man immortal, ageless, all his days” (V.150-151). Why you need a colon: because a comma isn’t strong enough to separate two complete sentences. That’s called a comma splice. That is very bad. It makes this kid and Santa cry. Don’t be responsible for their sadness.

  8. Embedded quote Calypso claims “to be nothing less than” Penelope in order to convince Odysseus that he would not be missing anything by staying on Ogygia (V.233).
