PowerPoint for Week 2: Journals & Final Paper
More about Final Paper: Topic Analysis & Citations
Reading Article on Journaling
This week, read the article by Lyn Nelson from her book,
Writing and Being, Chapter entitled Beginning Your Journal. It
will provide an excellent description about the value of
journaling. There are many ideas she offers. Find 3 you like.
Write one paragraph for each idea. Once you have written your
3 paragraphs, submit your brief paper in Moodle. This is small
assignment.
Continue to write more entries into your journal. Use some of
her ideas.
6. Topic Analysis & Outline
Choose a topic to write your Final Paper. We start small. First
we select a topic that has heart and meaning. It must be of
importance to you. It has been found that if you write about
things you love or that matter to you, writing is easy! I want
you to experience just how joyful writing can be. Pick a topic
you love.
Examples of Final Papers students have written about in the
past:
Reflecting on the history of a grandparent
Unpacking a challenge in the family
Why getting this degree from University is so significant
Choosing 3 main life lessons he/she wants to give his/her
children
More topics…
An immigration story
How the lost of a home in the fires really brought home what
truly matters
Addiction and how sobriety has been a gift
A letter to future children
A collection of recipes from their country of origin
The difference between various martial arts
How singing changed her life
No reference…yet
You will be placing “in-text” citation in your Final Paper…but
NOT YET
First…write Chapter 1 (due week 3), then Chapter 2 (due week
4), then Chapter 3 (due week 5).
This is YOUR writing. You are the author, the original writer.
This writing is your masterpiece.
Later we will look for reference to SUPPORT your masterpiece.
7. So we are using reference to support YOU the writer!
Many time we write with references only to summary, rephrase,
restate the ideas of another. That is NOT what we are doing
with this Final Paper.
This time, this Final Paper is about your own ORIGINAL ideas
to comprise your Masterpiece
Use references to support YOUR ideas
So later you will look for references that support your thinking.
When you are writing, place an asterisk (*) at the end of a
sentence where you believe you could find a reference that
would support your writing.
Example: A student writes a paper about raising children while
keeping 2 jobs.
As she wrote, she had placed an asterisk after a sentence where
she said that she looked forward to reading to her children every
night. After a long day of working, she found that night reading
provided an opportunity to bond.
She found a reference that stated precisely how night reading
was a great opportunity to relax with a child, but especially how
the reading also encouraged the child to read.
Place asterisk after a sentence
Thus, as you are writing, placed an asterisk at the end of a
sentence that could benefit from a reference
This allows you to keep writing…to keep your creative juice to
flow without stopping your thoughts from getting down on
paper
AFTER you have written a chapter, NOW go and conduct a
search for a reference.
Now your reference is not only invaluable, but you will find
that there are resources that support YOUR CREATIVE original
thinking
8. 4 “in-text” citations
You only need 4 ”in-text” citations. By ”in-text” citation, you
are providing a citation marking at the end of the sentence
Let’s provide an example. In my dissertation, I had this in-text
citation:
The hermeneutic phenomenological method aims to hold
interviews that resemble conversation (Cohen, Kahn, and Steeve
61).
At the end of the dissertation, Cohen, Kahn, and Steeve was
listed as the source.
In-text citation means that the reference is listed WITHIN the
text.
There are no sub-numbers or letters, there are no footnotes,
there are no endnote…today in-text citation is used
Viewing the PowerPoints provided by our Librarian, Grace Kim
In Week 3, you will find several PowerPoints that explain “in-
text” citation
The way to name these in-text citation is one a page entitled
Works Cited if you use MLA
If you APA, then you list these as References.
Remember, ONLY the sources that are listed at the end are
listed in the text
The same is true with citation listed in the text, ONLY these
citation may be listed in Works Cited or Reference.
You MAY add an additional page at the end entitled
Bibliography. These are sources that ARE NOT mentioned in
your text BUT that informed your whole way of being
Works Cited/Reference vs. Bibliography
A Bibliography at the end of a piece of writing is actually a list
of sources that helped form your thinking, your way of looking
at something, that helped develop your belief system
9. BUT, this sources AT NOT mentioned in your text.
Example: I wrote about St. Teresa of Avila, but St. John of
Cross impacted me greatly. His works helped form who I am.
So I added a Bibliography of many works that formed me,
works that changes me or that impacted me, but I DID NOT use
these works in my text.
4 in-text citation
You will need 4 in-text citation:
Two from a “peer reviewed” article (see librarians PowerPoint
for an explanation)
One citation from a book
Another citation from any of the following: internet, film, an
interview, another book, a magazine article that is not peer
reviewed
This list of in-text citations grants you 25 points toward your
Final Paper.
I will look for 4 in-text citations, and then I will look that
ONLY those 4 are listed under Works Cited or Reference
You may add a Bibliography but those sources are NOT listed
in your text (optional)
