  2. How Do You Evaluate A Source? • Consider the purpose of the source. • Who is its intended audience? • What is its reason for being? • Consider the authority and reputation of the source. • Consider the credentials of authors and sponsoring agencies. Chapter 45

  3. Chapter 46 Once you have gathered the best sources (and note I did not write the most “handy”) the task is then how will you handle them? • Annotate • Summarize • Paraphrase

  4. Annotate • Falls under “careful reading mentioned. • Adding text to the text to emphasize or explain or just express one's own option. • Do so only when you own the text (or if you photocopy it). • If you can get a word document there is an option to actually add commentary to your own document. This is helpful if you are working with primary text.

  5. Summary • Close input but you supply only a “gist” of the idea. • Short—taking only what is relevant to your topic. • Take the original concepts but them in your own words • Do NOT forget to get a page number!!

  6. Chapter47 How Do You Handle Quotations? • Introduce all direct and indirect borrowings in some way. • Modify quotations carefully to fit your needs. • Observe the conventions of quotations.

  7. About Quotes • No stylistic touch makes a research project quote so well as quotations deftly handled. • Your use of quotes will reveal the sophistication of your understanding of a subject. • Every quote builds to the writer’s final point.

  8. When to Quote? • To focus on a particularly well stated key idea in a source. • To show what others think about a subject—either experts, people involved with the subject or the general public. • To give credence to important facts or concepts

  9. To add color, power, or character to our paper. • To show a range of opinion. • To show the range of opinion about a subject. • To clarify a difficult or contented point. • To demonstrate the complexity of an issue. • To emphasize a point.

  10. Introduce all direct and indirect borrowings in some way. • Use: • Introductions • Attributions • Commentaries • Examples of the vocabulary (note all examples here are in present tense): • Reports, Claims, Argues, Insists • Laments, Verifies, Says, Asks • Contents, Affirms, Stipulates, Denies

  11. Modify quotations carefully to fit your needs. • Tailor your language so that direct quotations fit into the grammar of your sentence. • Use ellipses (three spaced periods . . .) to indicate where you have cut material from direct quotations. • Use brackets [ ] to add necessary information to a quotation.

  12. Observe the conventions of quotations. • Use [sic] to indicate an obvious error copied faithfully from a source. • Place prose quotations shorter than four typed lines (MLA) between quote marks • Indent more than three lines of poetry. • Indent any quote more than four lines two tabs or ten spaces creating a block quote. No quotation marks needed and citation outside of period.

  13. Refer to events in • Works of fiction • Poems • Plays, movies, television shows, • Points made in an article • IN PRESENT TENSE!!
