  11. I. The Introduction Introduces the topic you are going to discuss. In a short paper it is ONE paragraph. • You will need to begin with a hook, or a motivator. Use a personal anecdote – relating something about yourself to the topic Then write the thesis Then mention the three methods by which you will prove your thesis.

  12. Thesis Statement It is the most important sentence in your paper. It must be a compare/contrast statement. EX: Although I took classes on campus at the same college last year, my experiences in the traditional classroom and in the virtual classroom have been vastly different.

  13. Make It Strong And Direct: Don’t Use Conditionals (Could, Would, Might, Maybe)You Might Be Wrong, But Be Wrong And Strong!

  14. One idea

  15. II. Body of Supporting Evidence • Your thesis needs the support of three comparison methods that are each supported with factual, verifiable evidence. • These comparisons should each be supported with 2 pieces of specific supporting evidence in 2 paragraphs.

  16. Sample Breakdown of Body Pages:

  17. III. Conclusion Use your abstract as a model. Your conclusion contains a reworded thesis statement and reworded subtopic ideas. The conclusion should contain the answer to the following questions: What did the comparison of differences prove? And: Why is it important that you just made your point, or proved your thesis statement? This answer is also known as the clincher.

  18. Guidelines for Use of Sources: • Consult Chapter 10 of the NCH, especially pages 234, 244, 246 for checklists • Use the CRAP test! • SEARCH ENGINES OR ENCYLOPEDIAS OF ANY KIND ARE NOT SOURCES! THIS MEANS GOOGLE, YAHOO, PROQUEST, ASK JEEVES, INFOPLEASE, WIKIPEDIA, etc. • ALL YOUR SOURCES MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE AUTHOR!

  19. Guidelines for Use of Sources: Questions you need to ask yourself: • Where does this information appear, and what is its purpose? If it’s from a website, are there secondary links or links to references? • Who is the sponsor of the source – educational, commercial, government? (.edu or .org?) • Does the publication or author have an obvious bias? Is the source nothing more than a marketing device? • Who is the author? What are their credentials? • When was the piece published? If from a website, how recently has the site been updated? It will say at the bottom of the page, usually. Things may have changed since publication – make sure your material is not date sensitive.

  20. Fourth Brick: Now write the first draft. You will need at least three pages (around 1000-1200 words) when you submit it, along with the Works Cited page – min. 3 sources, max 6

  21. Citing Within the Paper: • Use MLA Updated 2009 style guide. Rules for citing entire electronic sources in-text are found in the NCH pp. 325 – 6 In-text parenthetical citations when quoting or paraphrasing: • Print sources: Author’s last name and page number -- (Smith 3) • Source with no author listed: Substitute a shortened form of the title for the author – (Report 34) • Online sources with paragraphs numbered in original: Author’s last name and paragraph number -- (Smith par. 3) • Online sources without paragraphs numbered in original: Author’s last name only – (Smith) IMPORTANT: YOU MAY NOT QUOTE MORE THAN ONE OR TWO SENTENCES! YOU MAY NOT QUOTE LARGE BLOCKS OF TEXT! CITATIONS APPEAR WITH THE INFORMATION, NOT AT THE END OF THE PARAGRAPH! SEE MLA SAMPLE PAPER!

  22. Rewriting: The Real Work of Writing • Once you have a complete first draft, read it aloud to yourself. Are you being consistent in tense and person? Are you avoiding repetition by using coordination and subordination? Are your pronoun references clear? If unsure, review these concepts in your texts! • Revise, then proofread. Read the document slowly twice, searching for errors: spelling (use the checker!), fragments, comma splices, run-ons, subject-verb agreement, etc. CHECK YOUR CITATIONS!! • You are required to have a title, but not a title page

  23. Deadline: THIS IS DUE Mon 4/19 OR TUE 4/20, ALONG WITH PEER EDITING PACKET PAPERS WITHOUT WORKS CITED AND AT LEAST 3 CITATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED! Good luck!
