  16. Practicing Using The Canterbury Tales Graduation Project

  17. Perfect Practice Makes Perfect • Outline • Research • Works Cited • Parenthetical Documentation • Note Cards • Quote Integration

  18. Research Question vs. Thesis Statement • The research question guides the writer. • This question is answered with research. • The thesis statement guides the reader. • This statement organizes the answer.

  19. Topic Sentence vs. • The topic sentence introduces an idea within one paragraph. • The topic sentence should also connect to the thesis statement. • EXAMPLE: The knight represents an ideal member of the feudal estate.

  20. Context/Example • The context/example provides details about the topic or idea. • These details provide much more specific information. • EXAMPLE: He is a devote Christian.

  21. Quote VS. Interpretation • The quote proves the context/example. • This quoted passage supports any claims made about the topic. • EXAMPLE: For example, The knight is “Just home from service, he joined our ranks/ to do his pilgrimage and render thanks” (Chaucer 79-80).

  22. Interpretation • The interpretation explains the significance. • This explanation applies to the proven claim. • This may be more than one sentence. • EXAMPLE: The knight’s service is a crusade or holy war. He is traveling to Canterbury to thank and honor God.

  23. Transition • The transition connects from one idea to a new idea (new paragraph). • This reconnects the ideas (new and old) to the thesis. • Example: While the knight is an example of a perfect pilgrim, his fellow traveler, the wife of bath, is not.
