  1. Understanding IQE American Literature – Term Paper

  2. Outline • Each body paragraph has room for 1 primary (novel) and 1 secondary (research) quotation • You must have at least 1 of each per body paragraph • You can reverse the order (primary first in one paragraph and then secondary first in another) • Do the IQE for each and transition between • Link back to your thesis in 2 places! • In the first “E” • In the second “E”

  3. I – Introduce the Quote • For a primary source (your novel): • Provide the context surrounding the story at the place where the quote begins • Example: In chapter one, “The Prison Door”, of The Scarlet Letter, while introducing Puritan ritual and establishing the mood, the narrator states: “A throng of bearded men, in sad-colored garments and gray, steeple-crowned hats…” (Hawthorne 45). • For a secondary source (an article, etc. about your novel) • Provide either context… • Example: In his article discussing the many metaphors used in “The Minister’s Black Veil”, Jackson states: “The veil the minister wears prevents him from empathizing with his parishioners” (Jackson 83).

  4. I – Introduce the Quote (cont’d) • Or, state the title and author of the article you are citing • Example: Henry Jackson agrees with this claim in his article titled “The Veil We All Wear” when he states that, “The veil the minister wears prevents him from empathizing with his parishioners.” • No parenthetical/in-text citation is needed if there is no page number to include • If there is a page number, you will put (83). at the end. • Blend your quotations! Do not treat quotations as stand alone sentences! Make sure when you blend it reads like a grammatically correct sentence! • Example sheet

  5. Q - Quotation • Quotations are: • Any piece of directly cited text from another source • Any piece of text you have paraphrased and was not your original words/ideas • Quotations are not: • Any information that is considered common knowledge • Example: In chapter one, “The Prison Door”, of The Scarlet Letter, the narrator states, “A throng of bearded men, in sad-colored garments and gray, steeple-crowned hats” (Hawthorne 45) when describing the Puritan citizens.

  6. E - Explanation • The explanation is: • Typically 2-3 sentences • What does this show about the character, theme, tone, etc. that you are trying to prove? Why is this important? How does this prove your topic sentence/thesis? • Do not use elementary language: • “This says…” • “This is important because…” • “This proves my thesis because…” • “This quotation shows…” • Information that clearly explains how the quote you’ve chosen helps to prove your thesis and the main point you outlined in your topic sentence – make the connection clear! • Term Paper Example – The Old Man and the Sea

  7. Transition between… • Motivator/background • First IQE & Second IQE • Paragraphs And remember… No: you, I, we, us, or any other personal pronouns

  8. And now… • Finish intro paragraph • Fill in topic sentences • Find quotations • I • E • Transitions (do you need to bridge the gap between ideas?) Finished with Intro Paragraph and at least 1 full body paragraph? • Work on annotations – due Wednesday! • Read Scarlet Letter – finish for Monday! • Study background information for test • Grammar - Thursday
