Transcript Power Point on Note Cards, Summarizing

Freshmen English Mon 1/5



Let’s read over the instruction sheet together.
You will want to underline or highlight
important dates or info
We will choose topics after we read through
the instructions.
Only one topic per person –
Cross off each topic chosen so you
know what is left when it is your turn
to choose.
Quotes, Summaries, Paraphrases, Note cards




To write and remember the information and facts
you need to include in your paper
To correctly link the source to the quote and
remember to use MLA format…this is what we
call our method for giving credit to our sources –
English classes use MLA (Modern Language
Association), Science classes use APA which
includes the date the source was published.
Keep your sources and info organized and in
small, manageable bits.
You can actually physically organized them in
the order of your outline



You will need 4 sources…meaning that you
will need 4 source cards with the bibliography
information for each source on each card.
Your notes for each source coordinate with the
source card (you can use numbers or symbols
or colors of cards)
Fill out one bit of information per card – front
side only.


This may take the form of a quote, summary or
paraphrase of the info you are recording.
You are expected to have at least 5 cards per
source you use (not including the source card)


When do we give credit to our sources that we
use in research papers?


What is a quote?


Something copied directly, word for word, from
another source. This should be in quotation marks.
What is a summary?


Any time the information is not out of our own heads,
we need to give credit to the source using MLA format.
The information is taken from another source but it is
written in your own words and greatly shortened from
the original material.
What is a paraphrase?

The information is taken from another source but it is
written in your own words – it is kept about the same
length as the original material (a little shorter)
ORIGINAL SOURCE
Public and scientific interest
in the question of apes’
ability to use language first
soared some 15 years ago
when Washoe, a chimpanzee
raised like a human child by R.
Allen Gardner, learned to
make hand signs for many
words and even seemed to be
making short sentences. Since
then researchers have taught
many chimps to “talk” using
sign language, plastic chips,
or keyboard symbols. Washoe
became a media star because
of this.
QUOTE
Washoe, trained by R.
Allen Gardner, “learned to
make hand signs for many
words and even seemed to
be making short
sentences” (Eckholm 7).
Notice how I cited this source – use
the first item in the works cited
bibliography (your source card)
and the page number if there is
one. The period goes at the very
end. No other punctuation is
inside the parenthesis.

London: Harper and
Roe, 1999.

SUMMARY
The ape experiments
began in the 1970’s with
Washoe, who learned
sign language. In later
experiments some apes
learned to communicate
using plastic chips
(Eckholm 7).
You don’t use quotation marks for
a summary or a paraphrase, but
you still need to cite the source
with parenthesis.

PARAPHRASE
Public and scientific interest in the
question of apes’ ability to use
language first soared some 15 years
ago when Washoe, a chimpanzee
raised like a human child by R. Allen
Gardner, learned to make hand signs
for many words and even seemed to

to “talk” using sign language, plastic
chips, or keyboard symbols. Washoe
became a media star because of this.
A chimpanzee named
Washoe, trained in the
early 70’s by R. Allen
Gardner, learned words in
sign language and could
make short sentences.
Many chimps can now
communicate by also using
chips or keyboard symbols,
which has drawn much
public attention (Eckholm
7).

Get out a sheet of paper to turn in…

Use the passage on the next slide to show that you
can choose a section of it to quote (pick one
sentence). Use quotation marks and the MLA
parenthesis to cite it properly.
Also show that you can summarize the entire
passage (what is it about in a few sentences). Please
cite it with parenthesis.
Finally write out a paraphrase – should be only
slightly shorter than the original passage but in
your own words. Please cite it.
Jones, Bob. The Problem with Corporal
Punishment. New York: Penguin
Books, 1999.
From page 8 in the
book.
Corporal punishment is a form of physical
punishment that involves the deliberate infliction
of pain as retribution for an offence, or for the
purpose of disciplining or reforming a
wrongdoer, or to deter attitudes or behavior
deemed unacceptable. The term usually refers
to methodically striking the offender with the
open hand or with an implement, whether in
judicial, domestic, or educational settings.
This is what MLA citations look like in
a research paper – see the highlight
Your source cards (bibliography information) will become your works cited page
at the end of your essay. I will look at what sources you used, if they are valid,
and if your parenthetical citations in the essay can be matched to these. Any
time you use info from one of your sources, you take the first word(s) – usually
the author’s last name – and that is what you put in parenthesis in your paper. If
you don’t do this, it is considered plagiarism and you get a zero on your essay.
All sources that show up in your works cited must be used (and cited) in your
paper at least once.

We need to set up our organizational system
for our note cards
Take an envelope and write your first and last
name and period on it.
Then get 24 note cards and write your last
name on the back (unlined side) of each of
these (in case they fall out of the envelope.
Put your cards in your envelope – but don’t
seal it. You will use this as storage for your
cards, which will stay at school unless you
make arrangements with Ms. Turcotte to take
them home.


Your note cards will initially be checked off in
sets of five (see instruction sheet), but they will
also need to be turned in when the essay is due
so don’t lose them!
These cards become your essay! So take
understandable, readable, and helpful notes!
