Critical Thinking You’ll have 90 seconds to solve the following Riddle. No cheating or talking.

The Riddle I have one, you have one. If you remove the first letter, a bit remains. If you remove the second, bit still remains. After much trying, you might be able to remove the third one also, but it remains.  It dies hard!

The Solution Habit!  Remove h - a bit remains. Remove a - bit remains. Remove b - it remains . Bad habits die hard!

Quick overview of upcoming weeks Next four classes: continue/finish explicit teaching of synthesis essay Friday, April 13 – Practice Test during 4 th and 6 th period – All students eat C lunch Next eleven classes: touch up on areas of difficulty, review of all AP test skills Wednesday, May 16 – AP Language and Composition Exam Last two classes during finals week – a few clean-up items and discussion of next year AP Literature

Vocabulary – Week 26 You will take vocabulary quiz #26 on Thursday. Remember you are responsible for week 1-26 words. Continue to use study strategies we have discussed throughout the year.

Goals for the Day I can incorporate and cite materials from sources into my body paragraphs in various ways.

Basic set-up of the body paragraphs Open with a claim directly related to your thesis. Use source material to support it, using signal phrases, argument verbs, and parenthetical citations (source A, source B, etc.) Provide analysis of the quotation/paraphrase relative to your claim. Link the material back to your thesis.

Keeping things central to the thesis Thesis: Amidst the debate about whether libraries can stay relevant in the upcoming years, I believe that this is a new opportunity for libraries to become even more prevalent in our lives and adapt to the changing times. Body Paragraph – Claim (topic sentence) that relates to the thesis: Libraries have persevered through changing society and still remain key to the academic world today. Use source material to support it (using signal words/phrases, argument verbs, and parenthetical citations): As Nancy Kranich suggests in her interview with Cecilia Orphan, public libraries first found their place in the United States with Benjamin Franklin’s first library all the way back in the 1730s (Source A). Provide analysis relative to your claim/link the material back to the thesis: There is no doubt many changes have taken place over the last three centuries and many more will likely occur in the future. Certainly it is feasible to hope and assume that our libraries will continue to find ways to remain relevant as they encounter changes in society. Possibly repeat a step: In fact, there is already evidence that libraries are rapidly adjusting to societal changes. Examining the calendar of events from Orland Park’s Public Library it’s clear……. (Source B).

Questions?

Incorporating and Citing Materials Use signal phrases to introduce your sources, ideally identifying them by name and title, and then citing the source at the end by its letter in parentheses. Avoid saying: As Source C suggests….or As shown in Source B…. While it is technically accurate, it is unsophisticated. In most cases, you will be able to cite the resource either by its author or its source and save the “Source A, Source B” stuff for your parenthetical citations.

Practice You should have already pulled at least three quotes from the texts pertaining to “The Dumbest Generation.” Begin by simply writing a sentence where you introduce your source (identifying them by name and title) using signal phrases and then citing the source at the end by its letter in parenthesis. I will be around to check at least one of your three sentences. When you finish all three, share with your partner and ensure each of you effectively introduced and cited the source material.

Quoting, Paraphrasing, or Summarizing Use both direct and indirect references to the resources you include. This means do not be overly reliant on direct quotations. Use some, but also paraphrase some of your source material, continuing to use appropriate citations. Summarizing and paraphrasing requires skills beyond merely adding quotations from sources, which is why the AP requires you to do both. Being able to use both types of references demonstrates your skill as a writer.

Rules for Quoting Word for word quotation (direct quote): Definition :  Using an author’s language word for word (verbatim) Ways  to avoid  plagiarism: Use  quotation marks around the author’s words. Use a signal or identifying phrase that tells who and what you are quoting. Add  an  in-­ text (parenthetical) reference at the end of the passage. Include  a citation at the end of your paper (Works Cited).

Examples of Quoting Rodriguez and  Bellanca   observe in their recent guide book for the urban educator,  “In some urban classrooms, children  arrive without any notion of sharing behavior .  If they have grown up as street survivors, without strong early mediation for sharing, they may come to school ready to do battle to the death” (Source C). OR “In some urban classrooms, children arrive without any notion of sharing behavior. If they have grown up as street survivors, without strong early mediation for sharing, they may come to school ready to do battle to the death” (Source C).

Practice Quoting Source 1 : “The mind should profit alongside the youthful ego, the thirst for knowledge satisfied as much as the craving for fun and status. But enlightenment hasn’t happened.” Source 2 : “IQ scores in every country that measures them, including the United States, have been rising since the 1930s. Since the tests measure not knowledge but pure thinking capacity – what cognitive scientists call fluid intelligence, in that it can be applied to problems in any domain – then Gen Y’s ignorance of facts (or facts that older people think are important) reflects not dumbness but choice.” Source 5 : “My initial surprise was to find among the candidates an abysmal ignorance of so elementary a subject as the geography of the United States. Few could even place accurately the principal rivers: one with so descriptive a name as the Ohio was not infrequently identified as being ‘somewhere west of the Mississippi.’ Few could name the principal seaports, and, of course, any requirement demanding such detailed familiarity with this country as identifying the states comprising the ‘wheat belt’ or the ‘corn belt’ was completely beyond the average candidate’s depth.

Rules for Paraphrasing Definition: Putting an author’s ideas in your own  words. Ways  to avoid  plagiarism : Use  a  signal or identifying phrase that tells who and what you are paraphrasing. Use  the same ideas as in the original  text. Use  your own words when phrasing.  In  most cases, avoid using any of the  same   wording that the author used unless you put a key term in quotation  marks . Add  an in ­-text  (parenthetical) reference at the end of the  paraphrase. Include  a citation at the end of your paper (Works Cited)

Example of Paraphrasing Original passage :  Annie Oakley's life spanned years of tremendous change for American  women . By the time of her death in 1926, Americans were celebrating the liberated,  urban-focused, modern times of the Jazz Age. Women had won the right to vote, wore less restrictive clothes, and followed a changing ideal that was loosening some of the restrictions on women’s roles and behavior that had reigned through the nineteenth century. Incorrect paraphrasing : Annie Oakley’s life spanned years of significant changes for American women. By the time she died in 1926, women had the vote, wore looser clothing, and embraced the freedom from restrictive 19 th century roles (Source D). Correct paraphrasing : As discussed in the biography on PBS’s American Experience web page, sharpshooter Annie Oakley lived through a period of many liberating changes for women, from the Victorian era through the first quarter of the 20 th century. Examples include voting rights for women as well as the freedom to wear comfortable and practical clothing (Source D).

Summarizing Definition: Condensing an author’s ideas to a more succinct statement. Ways to avoid plagiarism: Use a signal or identifying phrase that tells who and what you are summarizing. Use a quick description of the main points of the passage. Use your own words and phrasing. In most cases avoid using any of the same wording as the original. Add an in-text (parenthetical) reference at the end of the summary. Include a citation at the end of your paper (works cited).

Example of summarizing Original passage : By 1964, there were an estimated 33,500 restaurants in the United States calling themselves “drive-ins,” but only 24,500 offered hot food, the remainder being ice cream and soft-drink stands primarily. Layout varied from drive-in to drive-in, but three principal spaces could always be found: a canopy-covered driveway adjacent to the building, a kitchen, and a carhop station linking kitchen and parking lot. The smallest drive-ins offered carhop service only, but many also featured indoor lunch counters and booths, sometimes on the scale of the coffee shop. Summary : In the chapter “Quick-Service Restaurants in the Age of Audtomobile Convenience,” the authors Keith Sculle and John Jackle note that by the mid-1960s, nearly 35,000 self-proclaimed “drive-in” restaurants in the United States existed. Most served hot meals while others simply served ice cream and soft drinks (Source E).
