11. 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.

12. Stop and answer the following question!
11/23/15 12

13. Knowledge Check #3
Which part of your paper
serves like a mini-preview?
A.Title Page
B.Thesis
C.Introduction
D.Conclusion
11/23/15 13

14. 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.

16. Knowledge Check #4
Which percentage of your
paper is maximum for
quotations?
A.5%
B.25%
C.10%
D.15%
11/23/15 16

17. 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).

18. 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).

20. Knowledge Check #5
You have to cite a research
source – whether it is a
quotation, paraphrase or
summary?
A.False
B.True
11/23/15 20

21. 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).
11/23/15 21

22. Accepting Constructive Criticism
from 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.
11/23/15 22

23. Try to look at all the marks this way
1. 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!

11/23/15 24

25. Knowledge Check #6
One method of giving
