DAY 02 - CYCLE 03 - SEMESTER 01: 09-15-09

HANDOUTS FROM TODAY:

How to integrate quotations


IN CLASS TODAY:
Today, you took your first vocabulary quiz of the year.

We reviewed a handout demonstrating several ways of integrating quotations.  We noted that when ANY quote is given, the paper MUST identify the following: the speaker, what the speaker is talking about (if the quote does not make it clear), and how the speaker says it.

We talked about three different ways of introducing quotes:
  • Dab - A brief introduction to a long quote
  • Dollop - A longer discussion of a briefer quote
  • Lotsa Sauce - A lengthy discussion of a short phrase or word
We started to make sample introductions for a particular argument and quote.

CLASS NOTES:
There notes today are so short as to be not particularly helpful. If I get a chance to add to them, I shall, and will link to them here.

HOMEWORK FOR NEXT CLASS:
You now have a thesis, three sub-claims, and three pieces of evidence.  You are to connect those sub-claims to your chosen evidence.  You should introduce one of your pieces of evidence with a "dab," another with a "dollop," and another with "lotsa sauce."  In other words, you will have every part of a 12 sentence paragraph except for the first and last sentences, and the commentary sentences, which we will talk about tomorrow.
