In your W.N., discuss:

1. World History: In your W.N., discuss: What are the most important events in the last 100 years? (you may use your Text book for ideas. Make a list and discuss why you think they are so important.)

2. Research Papers • Get out your Research Paper Rubric, and make note of the Due Dates in your planner. • Finish your 3 topics if you have not submitted it and get ready to turn it in.

3. Primary Sources – p. 31 • Identify the source. (diary government record, biography, etc.) • Determine if it is Primary or Secondary • Consider the Usefulness.

4. Research Paper • Three Possible Topics • Who could you interview regarding those topics? • Why does this interest you? DUE TUESDAY 10/17

5. Research Paper • If you don’t know your topic yet, get out your writer’s notebook and brainstorm a list of possible topics (something in the past 100 years that has impacted the US today). • Think about possible people you could interview who are primary sources (review pg. 31 for information on what is a primary source. Mr. Krake will come around in a bit and answer questions. • Take out your Research Paper Rubric and make note of the due dates in your day-planner/calendar.

6. Primary Source Interview The key to conducting a good interview is being prepared; and the key to being prepared is asking good questions. Work quietly to come up with questions to ask. Think critically about the reasons for asking questions and about the questions that might result in the most interesting responses.

7. After the Test • Research Paper…DUE DATES: • Today (9/24) – Topic Due written on 4x6 card. • Monday (9/27)– Interview Questions Typed, Due. • Tuesday (9/28)– 4 Bibliography Cards due. • www.noodletools.com • User name: faithcs password: ntools

8. World History: In your W.N., discuss: Copying. Cheating. Plagiarism.

9. Interviewing Keys • Take good notes (tape record, videotape, email, Instant Message script) • Try to accurately record expressions/language. • Follow up with additional questions that dig deeper than your initial questions.

10. Plagiarism • Let us suppose, for example, that we're doing a paper for Music Appreciation on the child prodigy years of the composer and pianist Franz Liszt and that we've read about the development of the young artist in several sources. In Alan Walker's book Franz Liszt: The Virtuoso Years (Ithaca: 1983), we read that Liszt's father encouraged him, at age six, to play the piano from memory, to sight-read music and, above all, to improvise. We can report in our paper (and in our own words) that Liszt was probably the most gifted of the child prodigies making their mark in Europe in the mid-nineteenth century — because that is the kind of information we could have gotten from a number of sources; it has become what we call common knowledge.

11. Plagiarism (from “A Writer’s Practical Guide to Writing Research Papers”) • Plagiarism - Using someone else's ideas or phrasing and representing those ideas or phrasing as our own, either on purpose or through carelessness. • "Ideas or phrasing" includes written or spoken material, of course — from whole papers and paragraphs to sentences, and, indeed, phrases — but it also includes statistics, lab results, art work, etc. • "Someone else" can mean a professional source, such as a published writer or critic in a book, magazine, encyclopedia, or journal; an electronic resource such as material we discover on the World Wide Web; another student at our school or anywhere else; a paper-writing "service" (online or otherwise) which offers to sell written papers for a fee.

12. Plagiarism • However, if we report on the boy's father's role in the prodigy's development, we should give proper credit to Alan Walker. We could write, for instance, the following: Franz Liszt's father encouraged him, as early as age six, to practice skills which later served him as an internationally recognized prodigy (Walker 59). Or, we could write something like this: Alan Walker notes that, under the tutelage of his father, Franz Liszt began work in earnest on his piano playing at the age of six (59). Not to give Walker credit for this important information is plagiarism.

13. Penalty for Plagiarism • The penalty for plagiarism is usually determined by the instructor teaching the course involved. In many schools and colleges, it could involve failure for the paper and it could mean failure for the entire course and even expulsion from school. • Ignorance of the rules about plagiarism is no excuse, and carelessness is just as bad as purposeful violation.

14. Research Paper…DUE DATES • Today (10/27) – Thesis Statement and 3 Points written on a piece of paper to be turned in. (Hold on to it, I will come collect them). • Monday (10/30)– 4 Bibliographies Due www.noodletools.com • User name: faithcs password: ntools • Wednesday (11/1)– 20 Notecards Due WRITE DOWN ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

15. Evaluating Sources • Get out your Thesis Statement, and your Bibliography (if you have it). • Review page 31, and consider your sources you have selected for your research paper. Evaluate them. Are they good sources? Why or Why not? • Write down in your W.N. why each of your sources are good or not.

16. Evaluating Sources • Evaluating Print vs. Internet Sources • With the advent of the World Wide Web, we are seeing a massive influx of digital texts and sources. Understanding the difference between what you can find on the web and what you can find in more traditional print sources is key. • Some sources such as journal or newspaper articles can be found in both print and digital format. However, much of what is found on the Internet does not have a print equivalent, and hence, has low or no quality standards for publication. Understanding the difference between the types of resources available will help you evaluate what you find.

17. Evaluating Sources • Publication Process • Print Sources: Traditional print sources go through an extensive publication process that includes editing and article review. The process has fact-checkers, multiple reviewers, and editors to ensure quality of publication. • Internet Sources: Anyone with a computer and access to the Internet can publish a website or electronic document. Most web documents do not have editors, fact-checkers, or other types of reviewers.

18. Evaluating Sources • Authorship and Affiliations • Print Sources: Print sources clearly indicate who the author is, what organization(s) he or she is affiliated with, and when his or her work was published. • Internet Sources: Authorship and affiliations are difficult to determine on the Internet. Some sites my have author and sponsorship listed, but many do not.

19. Evaluating Sources • Sources and Quotations • Print Sources: In most traditional publications, external sources of information and direct quotations are clearly marked and identified. • Internet Sources: Sources the author used or referred to in the text may not be clearly indicated in an Internet source.

20. Evaluating Sources • Bias and Special Interests • Print Sources: While bias certainly exists in traditional publications, printing is more expensive and difficult to accomplish. Most major publishers are out to make a profit and will either not cater to special interest groups or will clearly indicate when they are when they are catering to special interest groups. • Internet Sources: The purpose of the online text may be misleading. A website that appears to be factual may actually be persuasive and/or deceptive.

21. Evaluating Sources • Author Qualifications • Print Sources: Qualifications of an author are almost always necessary for print sources. Only qualified authors are likely to have their manuscripts accepted for publication. • Internet Sources: Even if the author and purpose of a website can be determined, the qualifications of the author are not always given.

22. Evaluating Sources • Publication Information • Print Sources: Publication information such as date of publication, publisher, author, and editor are always clearly listed in print publications. • Internet Sources: Dates of publication and timeliness of information are questionable on the internet. Dates listed on websites could be the date posted, date updated, or a date may not be listed at all.

23. Note Cards • Format of Note Cards Category Source & Page # Information copied down word for word from your source.

24. Note Cards • 20 Note Cards due Wednesday 11/1 . • When you turn them in with your final published copy, they must be in order used.

25. In-Text Citation • Parenthetical Citation • Franz Liszt's father encouraged him, as early as age six, to practice skills which later served him as an internationally recognized prodigy (Walker 59). • Alan Walker notes that, under the tutelage of his father, Franz Liszt began work in earnest on his piano playing at the age of six (59).
