Today, we begin the last component of ESL 115C: Unit 4. During this unit, we'll cover the remaining topics necessary for you to write your final problem/solution research papers. Here is a list of the upcoming modules we'll be covering during this unit:
4.1 (11/12) In-text Citations
4.2 (11/14) Source Synthesis
4.3 (11/19) Paraphrasing/Quoting
4.4 (11/21) Introductions/Conclusions
4.5 (12/3) Formatting/Review/ICES
4.6 (12/5) Catch-Up/Peer Perception
4.7 (12/10) Individual Conferences
As one of the goals of this class is to help you view writing as a process, there will be several deadlines for different "chunks" of the paper. I will offer comments in writing and during our conferences and you will receive feedback from your classmates as well. It is imperative the you stay up to date and to encourage everyone to be on the same, I'll be keeping track of the draft work you do on this participation tracker.
Finally, here is the information on the final assignment requirements, deadlines and the rubric I'll be using to evaluate your work. As always, please let me know if you have any questions.
The outline for today's class can be found below:
In-text Citations
I. Brainstorming
What is the difference between quoting, paraphrasing and summarizing? Why would you choose to use one over another? Which ones do you have to cite? Why? Why citation style are we using for 115?
II. In-Text Citations: The Basics
The following (short) presentation will cover the basic information you need to know in order to provide the correct in-text citation for the sources you'll be incorporating into your final problem/solution research papers. Much like formatting the final reference list, formatting in-text citations can be somewhat confusing, but as long as you know where to go to find the answers, you'll be fine! Below you'll find a couple of very useful resources:
III. In-text Citations: Practice
Take a few minutes to fill out this short practice activity on formatting and practicing with in-text citations. You may fill out the majority of it individually if you so choose, but the last exercise requires you to interview a partner. Once you've created a quote (complete with in-text citation) for your partner, please upload it to this GoogleDoc.
IV. Review: In-text Citations vs. Reference Listings
Now we'll take a look at a short presentation that highlights the differences between in-text citations and reference listings.
V. Jeopardy
We'll finish our class today by playing review Jeopardy in teams. During this review, you'll be allowed to use any and all sources you can think of. The winning team will receive a prize!
Housekeeping Details and Homework for Thursday (11/14/2013)
