  7. They are alike SMALL AT THE TOP FULL AT THE BOTTOM

  8. The differences WATER AT THE TOP INPUT FROM THE TOP IT’S ALL JUST WATER You have to go deep to get to the “core” WATER AT THE BOTTOM

  9. The process: • Start with a thesis • Choosing a format to follow • CARS • Notetaking/validation • Structure

  10. Thesis • It is a controlling idea • This is nothing new • However… • It should be a controlling idea from the start • “Fighting a good fight” • Like a topic sentence, all research should go back to the thesis • Reassure them that through the process it can and should change

  11. Thesis • Places to go: • Empire State College • Capital Community College, Hartford, CT

  12. Choosing a format: • MLA—Modern Language Association • They will gladly sell you their stuff • Purdue University Online Writing Lab (OWL) • Has a few discrepancies, but is a format • APA—American Psychology Association • Another widely used formatting system • The bottom line is to choose on and stick with it

  13. CARS—a system developed through the Millard Public Schools Speech Communication Teachers • CREDIBILITY • ACCURACY • REASONABLENESS • SUPPORT

  14. CARS—a system developed through the Millard Public Schools Speech Communication Teachers • CREDIBILITY— • evidence of authenticity and reliability • Author’s Credentials • Evidence of Quality Control • professional peer reviews, etc. • Lacks when… • Anonymity • No indication of reviews • One-sided reviews (biased) • Red flags: like bad grammar, etc.

  15. CARS—a system developed through the Millard Public Schools Speech Communication Teachers • ACCURACY— • the information is actually correct • Factual • Timely • Comprehensive • Lacks when… • No dates, or “old” dates • Assertions are vague • Generalized language • One-sided information

  16. CARS—a system developed through the Millard Public Schools Speech Communication Teachers • REASONABLENESS— • Fairness • Objectivity • Moderateness • Consistency of information • World view perspective • Lacks with… • Intemperate tone or language • Over-claims and hyperbole • Sweeping, generalized statements • Conflict of interest

  17. CARS—a system developed through the Millard Public Schools Speech Communication Teachers • SUPPORT—source and corroboration information • Corroboration—support from other sources • Triangulate findings • Three is a “magic number” • External consistency • Lacks with… • Stats with no source • Absence of documentation • No corroborative source(s)

  20. My way of putting things together: • My adaptation to the note card system:

  21. My way of putting things together: Full document

  22. A brief word on structure: • I prefer a system of three: • One piece of evidence is chance • Two shows a coincidence • Three shows a pattern • After all, a stool needs at least three legs to stand on its own

  23. Paragraphs • Concrete Detail : Commentary • One Concrete Detail • A student’s statement of truth based on research • Needs TWO Commentaries • Facts from actual source(s) Full Document

  24. Paragraphs Body Paragraph Format (11 sentences, 100+ words) FORMAT: • Topic Sentence (TS) • CD—could start with “For example…” • CM • CM • CD—could start with “In addition…” • CM • CM • CD—could start with “Furthermore…” • CM • CM • Concluding Sentence
