Tuesday, December 4th

1. Independent reading- First 10 minutes of class

In CLASS:

We will review the ways of source/quote integration.

4 things to remember when integrating sources:
1. Provide context for the quotation. (Explain where it came from, or why the author is important)
2. Attribute the quotation to a source. (Who said it?)
3. Explain the significance of the quotation. (Warrant)
4. Provide a citation for the quotation. (In-text citation)

How to embed a quotation:
1. Lead in with a colon. The colon announces that a quote will follow to provide evidence for the sentence’s claim.

Hamlet denies Rosencrantz’s claim that thwarted ambition caused his depression: “I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space” (Hamlet 2.2).

2. Introduce or conclude the quote by attributing it to the speaker. If your attribution precedes the quote, you will need to use a comma after the verb.

When faced with a twelve-foot mountain troll, Ron gathers his courage, shouting, “Wingardium Leviosa!” (Rowling 176).

3. Use the words of the quote grammatically within your own sentence.

When Hamlet tells Rosencrantz that he “could be bounded in a nutshell and count [him]self a king of infinite space” (Hamlet 2.2), he implies that thwarted ambition did not cause his depression.

REMEMBER: Each sentence you write MUST HAVE YOUR OWN WORDS IN IT. No dive bombing in of quotes. 

FOR Wednesday/Thursday: 

Collate your Steps 2-6 of Writing for your Boot Camp topics. Make sure that each step is CLEARLY LABELED.

Select 1 of the 2 extended paragraph structures you did for Step 6 of Writing. You will be completing STEP 7 of Writing with the ONE extended paragraph structure. This will be a typed draft.

You will actually write out the draft from your extended paragraph structure. Write your thesis as the first sentence (we will adjust this later)... integrating source material as you write. For this exercise and this exercise ONLY, you will make up the quotes. I am not requiring you to research for this one and only assignment. This assignment is about practice the integration of the source material.

Things to remember: 

• You will need to include 3 direct quotes with citation through out the entire piece of writing. Please use each of the three ways of quote integration that I reviewed in class. 
• When time for a transition write the word TRANSITION (for now).
• Remember the 4 things that has to accompany the integration of a quote. EACH TIME.
• In-text citation will be from a book. Nice and easy.  But for future notice... check out the OWL for the different ways of doing IN-TEXT citations. OWL In-text Citation

Monday, December 3

1. Independent reading- first 10 minutes of class

Step 7 of Writing: Writing the Rough Draft Integrating Source Material

Primary Source: Source of analysis or critique
Secondary Source: Source that critiques or analyzes the primary source

2. In order to be ready for the next step of writing, I need you to go through and take notes on the following links found under "Writing Links". Your notes are going to be resources for you as you write. As you reference your notes, you will be gradually reprogramming yourself in the way you need to write.

Go through in the following order:

• "Cornell Guide to Sources" Link here
• "What must be cited" Link here
• "UNC Source Integration" Link here

3. Take very thorough NOTES on the above links.
-This is building upon the LMC's presentation on SOURCES.
- You don't need to write down word-for-word. Get the processes
.. the advice... the "how-tos".

After this, things will move very quickly. You will be putting these skills into play. Makes sure that your notes are accessible for you!

Classwork Inventory: For Today, what should be done: 1. Steps 1-5 for 4 Boot Camp Topics 2. Step 6 for 2 of the 4 Boot Camp Topics 3. All 6 Steps (of notes) easily accessible in your notes. 4. The notes getting ready for Step 7 in your notes.

Friday, November 30th

1. Independent reading.

2. Turn in practice round of Step 6. Questions or help with the homework.

3. FOR MONDAY: PICK 2 of your Boot Camp topics. JUST TWO. You will construct an extended paragraph structure for both topics. You should already have Step 5 done for these. You will write "backing" and "transition" just like we did for the practice for today.
Keep these out of your notes..  They need to be attached to your Steps 2-5. Clearly label each step.

We will add Step 7 of Writing on Monday. (We are almost done!)

Wednesday/Thursday, November 28th/29th

1. Independent reading.

2. Review Steps 1-5 of Writing.

3. Step 6 of Writing- Go over process in class.

4. PRACTICE: 
Respond to the following prompt: Should LSN adopt "online academy" during snow days? Why or why not?

1. Write answer out as a thesis (restate the question, answer, provide the why)
2. Do Step 5 of Writing. (3 major reasons why)
3. Do Step 6 of Writing. (Add in specific examples, write out a warrant)

• Briefly jot out warrant.
• Write the words "backing" and "transition" as place holders knowing these will come. 
• Consider where your counterclaim will logically appear. 

You will turn this practice in to Mrs. Cole on Friday.

Tuesday, November 20th

1. 10 minutes- Silent reading

Make sure that the following is in your notes for Monday, November 26th. 

2. Step 6 of Writing: Extended "paragraph" structure
** Notice Step 5 has been lightly highlighted.

 I: Thesis/Claim: 
                    A. Supporting point #1 (Broad point... written as a topic sentence)
                                   1.  Example #1
                                          -warrant
                                         - backing
                                         - transition
                                   2. Example #2
                                         - warrant
                                         - backing
                                         - transition 
                    B. Supporting point #2 (Broad point... written as a topic sentence)
                                   1. Example #1
                                          -warrant
                                          - backing
                                          - transition
                                   2. Example #2
                                          -warrant
                                         - backing
                                         - transition
                   C. Supporting point #3 (Broad point.... written as a topic sentence)
                                 1. Example #1
                                         - warrant
                                         - backing
                                        - transition 
                                2. Example #2
                                          - warrant
                                         - backing
                                         - transition 

Things to note:
1. Number of examples is not a fixed formula.
2. Transitions do not have to be written out in this step. This serves as a reminder of where they will go.
3. As we evolve, warrants won't be written out in outlining... you will just know they have to always follow evidence.

TERMS: 
Claim- argumentative/ analytic stance on specific topic.

Warrant- the explanation of how your evidence connects back to your claim

Backing- Additional justification for the warrant. Secondary sources usually fill this role.

Counterclaim- Acknowledgement of opposition position.

Rebuttal- Response to the opposition's position.

Monday, November 20th

LMC- Book talks

Select an independent reading book.

Friday, November 16th

1. Step 4 of Writing needs to be done for your 4 Boot Camp topics.

• Switch with a partner. They will look over each thesis to make sure that it is actually an argumentative thesis. 
• Write what type of claim they are using.
• Make sure that it is not a descriptive statement.
• Make sure that it is has all three parts of a thesis. 
• Check capitalization, spelling, punctuation. 

2. Step 5 of Writing: Basic "Paragraph" Structure
               I- Thesis
                  (Ask for reasons why this is true)
                   A: (Broad) Supporting reason #1
                   B: (Broad) Supporting reason #2
                   C: (Broad) Supporting reason #3

For MONDAY:
Do Step 5 for all 4 Boot Camp topics. Clearly label this step and keep all of these steps out of your notes. They will be turned in at the end of Boot Camp.
