This document provides an agenda and guidance for students on their Paper 2 assignment for EWRT 1A. It covers revising papers, formatting citations properly, writing an outline with categories and types, tips for the essay such as using anecdotes and definitions, how and when to cite sources, and MLA citation guidelines. Students are instructed to meet with the teacher, work on their outline and thesis, and bring a completed draft to the next class for a writing workshop.
An introduction to reading and writing research papers in MLA style, brought to you by the Daytona State College-University of Central Florida Writing Center
“Writing Styles” workshop introduces the idea that a specific writing style provides the writers with the rules they need to produce a research paper that conforms to its standards.For those who want to complete their post-graduate studies, it is a good idea to buy the style manual accepted by the majority of their department members. You have to make sure that you get the most recent edition.
Each style manual has many, many rules, most of which you do not need to learn in detail. When preparing to write your research paper, you have to refer to your style manual so many times to make sure that you are following its standards.
In this workshop, we are going to concentrate upon APA.

Glossary
Citation is the proper format of your sources information that belong on your Reference
page.
et al: In Latin means “and others” it’s used especially in referring to academic books or
articles that have more than one author.
Hanging Indent: All lines after the first line of each citation on your reference page should
be indented one-half inch from the left margin.
An in-text citation provides the information (quote/paraphrase) from a source in the body
of your paper.
Paraphrase: Where you rewrite part or all of someone else’s idea/information in your own
words.
Quote: If you copy word for word (verbatim) information from a source you must put the
information in “ ” (quotation marks).
A Reference(s) page is the last page of your paper where all the sources you have cited in
your paper are listed.
A source is the book/article/etc. you have used to help create your paper.
URL: Uniform (or Universal) Resource Locator is the address of the web page.
A Webpage is a single page that contains information on a topic.
A Website has a number of webpages that are connected by links.
A research paper requires time spent investigating and evaluating sources with the intent to offer
interpretations of the texts and a unique perspective on the topic at hand. It is the final product of the
following:

CHAPTER 6
Using Sources Effectively
The abilities to find and document sources and to develop an argument about or
interpretation of them have many applications in school and on the job. The genres of
researched writing used in academic disciplines include the argumentative research
paper (often called a term paper), the proposal, the annotated bibliography, the book
review, the literature review, the personal research report (often called an "I-Search"
paper, the name given to it by Ken Macrorie, an early advocate of this genre). You may be
asked to a build a Web site based on library research. You may be asked to simply report
on your research, or to use it as a starting point for experimentation or observation in the
laboratory or on field observations. Usually oral presentations and the visuals that sup-
port them are rooted in extensive research. Research reports in the sciences (lab reports)
and social sciences, although their formats differ from papers in the humanities, usually
begin with a review of the previous research that led to the hypothesis currently under
investigation. All these genres of researched writing involve similar strategies for find-
ing and evaluating sources, taking notes, and using quotations, summaries, and para-
phrases skillfully. However, when and how sources are used and how they are cited vary
for different kinds of writing and from field to field. Thus, these general information
literacy and research writing skills must be adapted to meet discipline-specific expecta-
tions for format, style, and means of presentation in specific academic fields.
SKILLS FOR ACADEMIC INQUIRY: QUOTATION,
PARAPHRASE, SUMMARY, AND SYNTHESIS
There are four basic means for using sources when writing researched papers and reports:
quotation, paraphrase, summary, and synthesis. These techniques help writers progress
from taking notes to drafting. It is always necessary to cite sources as you use them and to
consistently distinguish between your own words and ideas and those of your sources.
1. Quotations are exact repetitions of a writer's work. Quotations are less often used
in disciplines that use APA (American Psychological Association) style than those
who use MLA (Modern Language Association) style because arguments in most
101
102 Chapter 6 • Using Sources Effectively
disciplines that use APA depend more on summary and synthesis of previous
research than on close analysis of texts.
2. Paraphrases are restatements of the writer's ideas in your own words, following
the source closely in the order in which an argument is developed or evidence is
laid out. Paraphrases must be clearly identified as such, by direct attribution to the
author, because they can be mistaken for your own thinking.
3. Summaries give an overall representation of a writer's argument or part of one,
and also must ...

Abstract
Abstracts are research tools that can help you readers determine if the scope of your article/essay will help them in their own research. In APA, abstracts are typically 150-250 words in length and provide an evaluative summary of the essay to follow. The personal opinion of the author is strictly prohibited in abstracts. Unlike a body paragraph, the first line of an abstract is not tabbed-in. For many student essays, especially in lower-numbers courses, an abstract will not be required; still, it is good to practice this skill.
Title of Assignment
In APA style, the introduction of the essay should begin here, followed by the body paragraphs. APA is typically a more formal style than most students are accustomed to using in a writing course. For the purposes of this course, the level of formality should be based on the assignment. For example: APA asks that students always write in third person (avoiding words such as I, me, we, our(s), you, your(s), etc). Certain rhetorical modes, however, don’t cater well to third person (narrative and reflection writing are two such examples). In these situations, first person (I, me, we, our(s)) may be, and should be employed; second person (you, your(s)) should be avoided in all academic writing unless an essay is specifically designed to relay instructions (there are few assignments that will employ second person).
Like any essay, students should make sure their essays are formatted with one-inch margins, with their text exclusively in Times New Roman 12-point font, and students should double space their lines. This document can be downloaded and used as a template wherein students may simply replace names, titles, dates, and so on with their own information.
The final page of this document will demonstrate a References page. If a student uses information from any source, that source must be identified within the text and listed on a References page. These citations should be listed in alphabetical order and, opposite to the way a normal paragraph works, the first line should be flush left and each following line should be tabbed in. Though there is really no substitute for a good APA Style Manual, students can refer to a citation generator such as http://www.citationmachine.net/apa/cite-a-book to ensure proper formatting. Any further questions should be direc ...

6. In his essay on cannibalism, Ngo offers his
thesis statement in paragraph six:
Cannibalism can be broken down into two main categories:
exocannibalism, the eating of outsiders or foreigners, and
endocannibalism, the eating of members of one’s own social group
(Shipman 70). Within these categories are several functional types of
cannibalism, three of the most common being survival cannibalism,
dietary cannibalism, and religious and ritual cannibalism.
Ngo’s concept is cannibalism; his focus is on functional cannibalism.
He has two categories: Endo and Exocannibalism
He has three types: Survival, dietary, and religious/ritual cannibalism
In his thesis, he carefully forecasts both how he will divide the
information to create topics and the order in which he will explain
each of the topics
7. Tips for writing your essay
Begin with a long anecdote to draw the reader into your
essay.
Write a thesis that includes all of the categories you will
discuss.
Use examples and definitions to make your point.
Use appositives to describe nouns and eliminate wordiness.
8. How and When to Cite Sources
Avoiding Plagiarism
9. MLA format
MLA (Modern Language Association) style is most commonly used to
write papers and cite sources within the liberal arts and humanities.
MLA style specifies guidelines for formatting manuscripts and using the
English language in writing. MLA style also provides writers with a
system for referencing their sources through parenthetical citation in
their essays and Works Cited pages.
Writers who properly use MLA also build their credibility by
demonstrating accountability to their source material. Most
importantly, the use of MLA style can protect writers from accusations
of plagiarism, which is the purposeful or accidental uncredited use of
source material by other writers.
http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/
10. Quoting and Summarizing:
Writers use sources by quoting directly and by summarizing.
Deciding Whether to Quote or Summarize
As a general rule, quote only in these situations:
(1) when the wording of the source is particularly memorable or vivid or
expresses a point so well that you cannot improve it.
(2) when the words of reliable and respected authorities would lend
support to your position.
(3) when you wish to cite an author whose opinions challenge or vary
greatly from those of other experts.
(4) when you are going to discuss the source’s choice of words.
• Summarize any long passages whose main points you wish to record
as support for a point you are making.
11. Short Quotations
To indicate short quotations (fewer than four typed lines of prose or
three lines of verse) in your text, enclose the quotation within double
quotation marks.
Provide the author and specific page citation (in the case of verse,
provide line numbers) in the text, and include a complete reference on
the Works Cited page.
Punctuation marks such as periods, commas, and semicolons should
appear after the parenthetical citation.
Question marks and exclamation points should appear within the
quotation marks if they are a part of the quoted passage but after the
parenthetical citation if they are a part of your text.
12.
13. Basic In-text Citations
In MLA style, referring to the works of others in your text is done by using what
is known as parenthetical citation. This method involves placing relevant source
information in parentheses after a quote or a paraphrase.
General Guidelines
• Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the
source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever
signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text, must be the
first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry in
the Works Cited List.
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/02/
14. Long Quotations
For quotations that extend to more than four lines of verse or prose,
place quotations in a free-standing block of text and omit quotation marks:
Start the quotation on a new line, with the entire quote
indented one inch (10 spaces) from the left margin; maintain
double-spacing. Only indent the first line of the quotation by
an additional quarter inch if you are citing multiple paragraphs.
Your parenthetical citation should come after the closing
punctuation mark. (Smith 142)
When quoting verse, maintain original line breaks. (You should maintain double-
spacing throughout your essay.)
15. Citing Two or More Paragraphs
When citing two or more paragraphs, use block quotation format, even if the
passage from the paragraphs is less than four lines. Indent the first line of each
quoted paragraph an extra quarter inch.
In "American Origins of the Writing-across-the-Curriculum Movement," David Russell
argues,
Writing has been an issue in American secondary and higher education
since papers and examinations came into wide use in the 1870s, eventually
driving out formal recitation and oral examination. . . .
From its birth in the late nineteenth century, progressive education has
wrestled with the conflict within industrial society between pressure to
increase specialization of knowledge and of professional work (upholding
disciplinary standards) and pressure to integrate more fully an ever-
widening number of citizens into intellectually meaningful activity within
mass society. (3)
16. Citing Summarized Material
In Randall Kennedy’s article “Racial Passing” in
the Ohio State Law Journal, he discusses such a
case in the journey of Ellen Craft, a black
woman who passed not only as white but as a
white man in order to smuggle her
husband north to avoid slavery (1).
