College Writing 1 Summary and Response Essay Fall Semester 2018.docxmary772
College Writing 1 Summary and Response Essay Fall Semester 2018
Due Date TBD (Goal date: First Draft Thursday, October 12)

2. Prepare a “Reading the Text” graphic organizer
3. Practice group summary
4. Find a quote from the article to support your response. Cite it in APA format.
Writing Task:
Write a 3- page typed, double spaced summary and response essay. The student writer will...
1. Clearly state a thesis that shows whether they agree or disagree with Carr’s argument.
2. Produce an introduction, body (3-4), and conclusion
3. Produce a summary of the article
4. Practice integrating select quotations

· Your ability to use APA format to type your essay
· Your ability to find and incorporate a quote in your essay to support your thesis
· Your ability to cite the quote in APA format
· Your ability to articulate your ideas grammatically
Overview
A summary/response is a natural consequence of the reading and annotating process. In this type of essay, writers capture the controlling idea and the supporting details of a text and respond by agreeing or disagreeing and then explaining why.
The first step after active reading is writing a summary. Writing summaries is a common practice in college. They pull together the general conclusions and approaches of experts who have done research in a particular subject. Summaries should be written in your own words although you could include short quoted excerpts if you decide the author’s or speaker’s words summarize a point most precisely. Try to use pertinent quotations from the source, working them in gracefully where appropriate. Probably the best way to write a summary is ask yourself the following questions:
--What issues are described, explained or resolved in this work? --What is the controlling idea?
--What are the supporting details?
--What results or conclusions are made?
--What opinion does the author want readers to keep in mind about this topic? --What information does the author use to convince readers?
After you have written your summary, double-check to be sure that all facts you included are correct.
Summary Writing Guidelines
To move from an outline to a draft of a summary, follow these guidelines:
1. a) State the author’s name and the title of the text you’re summarizing in the first 1-2 sentences of the summary.
2. b) Express the author’s main idea in your own words in the first 1-2 sentences of the summary (no more than three words in a row from the text you’re summarizing.).

WRITING A GOOD DISCUSSION BOARD POST
There are several key steps that you’ll need to follow in order to write a complete and engaging
discussion board post. For every discussion post, you need to:
1. UNDERSTAND what the discussion is asking you to do
2. READ all required or supplemental materials
3. WRITE the post, and
4. REVIEW using the Discussion Post Checklist
Now, let’s go through each of these important steps in more detail.
First, break down the instructions of the discussion and take notes to understand exactly
what you need to do to complete it.
a. Identify the purpose or goal of the discussion post and how it relates to the course concepts
under review for the week.
b. Be sure to note any required course reading, such as the instructor guidance, chapters from
your textbook, or an article or webpage.
c. Look for key terms in the instructions—these are terms or course concepts that you will see in
the reading for the week, or that you have become familiar with in earlier weeks of the course. Be
sure to underline, highlight, or note these key words, as these are the themes that you will focus
on in your discussion post this week.
d. Make note of any key questions or directives that you are asked to address. If these
questions/directives are already in a bulleted or numbered list, great! But if they are not, go ahead
and number them so you can later use them as a checklist for yourself.
*Note- Directives are action verbs in the instructions that tell you what to do. Examples that you
might see include Define, Explain, Describe, or Discuss. The Writing Center’s guide on
Understanding the Verbs in Your Prompt can help you understand the expectations of each of
these directive words.
e. Note any additional requirements such as word count or APA formatting.
f. Finally, if a grading rubric is provided, be sure to review each part of it. The rubric can be used
as a checklist to ensure you have completed each of the requirements of the discussion.
This may sound like a lot of work now, but it actually only takes 10 to 15 minutes to go through the
instructions and make notes on what needs to be accomplished. These few minutes will save you time
when you begin writing and will help you to write a better post.

University of Arkansas 1 #32) Rhetorical Analysi.docxdickonsondorris
University of Arkansas 1
#32) Rhetorical Analysis
A rhetorical analysis assignment usually asks you to read two articles and write a paper that accomplishes
three things: 1) identifies the ideas each author is trying to communicate; 2) analyzes the techniques each
author uses to accomplish his or her purpose; and 3) compares and contrasts the authors’ approaches. The
assignment is based on the premise that all writing is aimed at a specific audience for a specific purpose. This
handout provides suggestions to assist you in the process.
Topic Selection and Research
Students are typically asked to select a topic and two articles that address that topic. Select a topic related to
your area of study or that you find especially interesting and brainstorm related issues. Take care not to make
your topic too broad, and then follow these steps:
Search the library databases to find a good selection of articles on your topic. Don’t waste time! Ask for
help if your searches yield no results. The research librarians provide valuable assistance.
It will be to your advantage if the articles you select come from sources with distinctly different
readerships (e.g., Forbes and The Nation; Audubon and The Washington Times).
Ideally, the writers of both articles should make clear, assertive arguments. Research reports, clinical
studies, or other informative writing will likely be less useful to you than more persuasive writing, as
the authors of the former tend to utilize fewer obvious rhetorical devices.
Avoid shorter articles, as they offer little for analysis.
Determining Each Author’s Purpose
Once you have selected your two articles, you are ready to begin your pre-writing activities. The
following suggestions should help you begin.
Audience analysis: For each article, examine the entire print or electronic publication. By scanning the other
articles, editor’s page, graphics, and ads, you will be able to make an informed judgment regarding the
demographics, values, and personal and political interests of the audience. Determining the overall aim of the
publication should help you consider what the article itself may be intended to accomplish.
Read with rhetorical awareness: First, read each article all the way through without making notes or
annotations. Ask yourself about the writer’s intentions, and how the writer’s choices affect you as a reader.
Often you can determine the rhetorical purpose of an author by gauging your intellectual and emotional
reactions to the presentation. If you are angry or upset, for example, the author has achieved an effect through
the use of particular rhetorical devices.
Identify the rhetorical tactics: Next, read the texts closely and make annotations with the aim of highlighting
examples of the authors’ rhetorical strategies. The University of British Columbia’s website has a useful list of
critical reading questions for a rhetorical a ...
The document outlines the stages of the writing process, including prewriting, writing, revising, and editing. It provides details on each stage, such as choosing a topic, determining the audience and purpose, developing a thesis, creating an outline, drafting and revising content, and editing for grammar and style. The goal is to produce a clear, precise, and concise final draft that is appropriate for its intended audience and context.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
