Drafting Your Essay

. 1. Keep the assignment instructions, all research notes,

planning activity, and reference information close by while you write.

2. Remember the introduction is like a “mini preview” of the paper.

3. It should start generally, and narrow to a specific point.

4. The persuasive thesis with a pattern for development is the last sentence of the introductory paragraph.

Which part of your paper serves like a mini-preview?A.Title PageB.ThesisC.IntroductionD.Conclusion

1. Remember to paraphrase and summarize your source support for the most part.

2. A good rule of thumb is to only use a direct quotation when the information is so important it can’t be said in different words without changing the meaning.

3. No more than 10-15% of a paper should be directly quoted. That means for a 1,000 word paper, no more than 100- 150 words can be directly quoted.

4. No matter whether you paraphrase, summarize or quote, the source must still have an in text citation!

5. Be sure to proofread, revise, and edit your paper. 6. Something many do not realize—a rough draft is not

an unfinished paper—it is an UNPOLISHED paper. 7. he better your rough draft is, the more effective

your feedback from the outside source will be.

Avoiding “floating” quotes when incorporating sources into your essay

A FLOATING QUOTE HAPPENS WHEN YOU DROP A FULLY QUOTED SENTENCE INTO YOUR PAPER TO STAND ALONE WITHOUT ATTACHING IT TO ANY OF YOUR OWN WORDS.

INCORRECT:Petrarch notices how quickly time goes by; therefore it makes him question why he waited so long to change his ways to reach eternity in heaven. “Long since I should have opened mine eyes…and true it is that I have delayed too long” (Jones, 2011, p. 74).

Example of the correct way to incorporate a quote.

CORRECT:Petrarch notices how quickly time goes by; therefore it makes him question why he waited so long to change his ways to reach eternity in heaven. This is evident in his statement, “Long since I should have opened mine eyes…and true it is that I have delayed too long” (Jones, 2011, p. 74).

How to give (and take) constructive criticism

For example: • That was a GREAT paper, Mary. I like the way that it was organized. It made it easy to follow

(affirmation #1). You might want to be sure to run spell check before submitting papers in the future. I noticed a few spelling errors (suggestion, with supporting reason). You also cited key points from our textbook to illustrate that you read it. That really helped demonstrate the validity of your key points (affirmation #2).

• Note that the suggestion above doesn't condemn Mary for not running the spell check. That is, it doesn't contain a negative judgment like "Boy, Mary, you really messed up. I saw lots of spelling errors in your paper." Instead the example above tactfully suggests a way that Mary can improve her paper, while identifying a fact (there were spelling errors) that she can check and independently verify.

When asked to give constructive feedback to your peers, it is important that you both 1.encourage one another and 2.suggest ways to improve. There are a couple of standard methods for giving feedback. One is the "sandwich" because people commonly sandwich a suggestion between two affirmations (things you liked).

05/02/23 21

Accepting Constructive Criticismfrom your peers, instructors and others

1. When you receive negative feedback or lots of marks on your paper from someone else, don't overreact, get mad, and fire off a nasty response.

2. Take time to look at what has been marked. Remember, this is not about YOU—it’s about the words on the page.

3. Constructive criticism is not a personal attack. 4. Be quick to help and slow to anger is probably a good motto. 5. If you do feel offended by what someone wrote, it's best respond to them

privately (or speak to the instructor first) to explain your reaction and why you feel the way you do.

05/02/23 22

Try to look at all the marks this way1. Every mistake marked on your

paper is just one more point saved for your final draft grade.

2. You should be hoping for lots of marks on your rough draft.

3. Without the mistakes pointed out, you won't be able to fix them.

4. When reviewing someone else’s paper, think of it as your best friend's paper.

5. You want to help your friend get the best grade possible before the instructor gets it and starts marking on it.

6. Be thankful for the help!
