  1. English 1301 Week 3 Ms. Lowery

  2. Class Overview • Quizzes from last week • I need to hear from you in class • Summary and Paraphrase • Citation/ BA 2 • BA 2 (Due Friday/Saturday in RaiderWriter)

  3. Summary and Paraphrase • Listen to your text • Map out the Ideas • What is summary? • P. 56 FYC • What is paraphrase? • Chapter 12 f 2 E-Handbook

  4. Why are they important? • You will need to be able to condense other writers' ideas into your own words so that you can write research papers, analytical papers, argumentative papers, and other types of academic writing. • It will help you prepare for the rhetorical analysis, where you will need to be able to succinctly state an author's purpose and discuss specific passages of an article. 

  5. MLA Citations • Quoting the writer in your summary: • In-text citations (16b E-Handbook) MLA Style: Parenthetical references should include the information your readers need to locate the full reference in the list of works cited at the end of the text. • EX: (Diamond 226) Works Cited (16d E-Handbook) • 10. WORK IN AN ANTHOLOGY OR CHAPTER IN A BOOK WITH AN EDITOR • List the author(s) of the selection or chapter; its title, in quotation marks; the title of the book, italicized; Ed. and the name(s) of the editor(s); publication information; and the selection’s page numbers . • Ex: Diamond, Jared. “The Ethnobiologist’s Dilemma.” First-Year Writing: Writing in the Disciplines. Ed. John C. Bean et al. Boston: Pearson Learning Solutions, 2012. 226-233. Print.

  7. Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. • Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. • But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. • —Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address

  8. Movie Trailers • Runner Runner • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFPqyNvNzvU • How does this trailer summarize the movie? • Main points? • Shorter? • Don’t have to present the ideas in the same order as the writer • Think of a movie that you enjoy and come up with a summary for it • Think of your favorite scene from that same movie and paraphrase what one of the characters is saying.

  9. Paragraph 2,page 557 • Ethnobiologists are also interested in this expertise, but for another reason. They want to know how different human cultures perceive and organize information. Nothing is as fascinating as understanding how another human being thinks. It’s challenging enough to understand someone who shares your language, culture, and much of your life, like your spouse; it becomes infinitely more challenging when the person belongs to a different society. Ethnobiology offers a well-defined approach to this problem, because species possess an objective reality, and some of the same species occur in areas occupied by different human cultures. Particular goals of ethnobiologists include discovering what units people choose to name (species or other groupings?), whether tribesmen group units hierarchically as we group species into genera and families, and whether the answers to these questions vary among peoples.

  10. Group Work • As a group, choose a passage from your text to summarize and paraphrase

  11. BA 2 • When should we use “I”? When should we avoid “I”? • “You?” Why should we be careful with this pronoun? • No Contractions • I highly recommend that you do not use direct quotes for your summary on BA 2. No direct quotes for paraphrase

  12. Description, Part One, Article Summary • The following four articles are located in Ch.12 of your textbook. To complete your article summary,select one of the articles from the list below OR use a different article chosen by your classroom instructor. Your summary of an article should follow the summary writing guidelines discussed in Section 12f 3. • Articles to summarize (all from First-Year Writing): • Sven Birkerts: “Into the Electronic Millennium” pp. 226-233, • Stephen Budiansky: “Lost in Translation” pp. 238-244, • Scott Jaschik: “Winning Hearts and Minds on Plagiarism” pp. 261-266, • Tina Rosenberg: “Everyone Speaks Text Message” pp. 267-271

  13. Paraphrase Decscription for BA 2 • Description, Part Two, Paraphrase Assignment After you’ve completed your summary, you will paraphrase a brief but complex passage from the same text. Your goal in this assignment is to restate the ideas of the passage in your own words and do so in a way that is readable and understandable. To complete this assignment, choose a passage from the texts above OR one selected by your instructor that is part of the text you summarized and paraphrase that passage. Identify the page number and paragraph number of the original passage (i.e. p. 205, paragraph 1) above your paraphrase so that your instructor can easily see the changes you have made to express the ideas of the passage in your own words. • Sven Birkerts: pp. 227 par 3 (starts with "Transitions like the one") • Stephen Budiansky: pp. 243 par 3 (starts with "In other words") • Scott Jaschik: p. 262, first full paragraph (starts with “After students turn in...") • Tina Rosenberg: pp.270  par1 (starts with "Digital technology has already transformed")

  14. Assignment Details • Summary: Purpose? Audience? Major Points? How? (About 4-5 sentences; 100-150 words) • Paraphrases should be about the same length as the original, but the phrasing and language should be different. • Do not give a synonym of the word

  15. BA 2 Due Friday/Saturday night • Choose one text to summarize. This text will be the focus of your rhetorical analysis. Paraphrase one paragraph (these are specific on slide 13). • Use correct MLA citation (textual citations and a Works Cited list entry!) • Use paragraphs! • Begin with one sentence summarizing the passage’s point that includes the author’s name and the title of the essay. • Essay titles “Should Appear Inside Quotation Marks with Every Major Word Capitalized.”

  16. For Next week • In-Class Assignment for Week 4 (Refer to Blog) • In addition to the readings on RaiderWriter:Read The E-Handbook: Chapters 8 and especially 9
