The document provides guidance for writing a short two-paragraph paper comparing how old and new media respond to each other. Students are instructed to pick two texts and write an introduction with a thesis statement followed by two body paragraphs without citations. The body paragraphs should each be 8-11 sentences with the final sentence tying the paragraphs together. Sample topics on old and new media are provided along with strategies for writing strong introduction and body paragraphs.
This document contains a slide presentation on literary forms and critical writing. It discusses various literary elements like exposition, outlining essay structure, thesis statements, topic sentences, endings, and plot. Examples are provided to illustrate effective and ineffective ways of constructing thesis statements, topic sentences, and endings. Literary works like Dubliners and Scheherazade are also briefly mentioned. The document appears to be teaching materials for an English literature course focused on analyzing different types of texts.
The document discusses Nicholas Carr's perspective that the traditional model of corporate computing is unsustainable due to overbuilding of IT assets and low utilization rates. It presents examples of general purpose technologies like electricity and analyzes similarities between the transition to electrical utilities and a potential transition to IT utilities. Finally, it provides advice for managers on utilizing utility computing, virtualization, and outsourcing to improve scalability and reduce costs while addressing challenges around security, control, and intellectual property.
Nicholas Carr argued in a 2003 Harvard Business Review article that information technology no longer provides a competitive advantage for most companies and should be viewed as a commodity. Carr draws parallels between the development of IT and previous infrastructural technologies like electricity and railroads that were initially proprietary but became standardized and shared. While early adoption of new technologies can offer temporary advantages, Carr advises companies to follow rather than lead technological innovation as technologies mature and competitive benefits diminish.
This document discusses how IT spending as a percentage of capital expenditures by companies has increased dramatically since the 1960s but begins to level off in the 2000s. It argues that simply spending more and more on IT will not provide a lasting strategic advantage, and that companies should focus instead on cost-effectiveness and security. While new technologies can initially provide benefits, those advantages are often temporary and do not guarantee long-term success.
The document discusses how IT starts as a strategic advantage but eventually becomes a commodity as its adoption increases. It argues that early adoption of proprietary IT provides benefits, but once standards are established, IT no longer provides competitive advantages and instead firms should focus on risk management and reducing IT costs. The key points are that IT shifts from a potential strategic resource to a commodity factor as its functions become universally available and affordable, and that overspending on IT poses greater risks than opportunities once widespread adoption makes IT essential but no longer differentiated.
1. Key characteristics of effective claims include being stated as a clear position rather than a question, being phrased without biased language to allow both sides to advocate their positions fairly, and being as specific as possible about who, what, when, and where.
2. A claim should be against the status quo or current approach to create potential for debate, and the burdens of proof should be clear for both the pro side arguing for the claim and the con side arguing against changing the status quo.
3. Both sides should debate the same single claim to maintain a clear focus, rather than multiple claims, and effective claims promote a pro/con argumentative environment where one side advocates accepting the claim and the

The New York World's Fair Corporation held a competition in the 1930s to define the average American family. The winning family, the Leathers of Texas, consisted of white, able-bodied parents with two children and a male breadwinner. Other finalists had similar demographics. This definition of average as exclusively white and traditional excluded the diversity of families in America at that time. The contest failed to capture how average should acknowledge the country's status as a melting pot.

This document discusses discourse and the role of knowledge and schemata in discourse analysis. It defines discourse as language used in a social context and explains that discourse analysts study both written and spoken texts to understand relationships between participants, their goals, and contextual factors. It also discusses how schemata (preexisting knowledge structures) allow communication to be efficient by enabling understanding without explicit details. Relevance theory holds that information is relevant if it interacts with existing assumptions to strengthen or contradict them. Miscommunication can occur if people have mismatched schemata or make false assumptions about shared knowledge.

The United States experienced massive economic and industrial growth in the post-Civil War era from 1875 to 1900, especially in the North. New machines, industries like railroads, oil and steel, contributed to a surge in prosperity. Cities grew substantially - in 1860 no city had over 1 million people but by 1890 three cities did. New York City became the second largest city in the world after London in 1900, with the substantial economic growth fueled by wealthy industrialists.

Final Research Argument Essay Assignment SheetEnglish 101.docxtjane3
Final Research Argument Essay Assignment Sheet
English 101
Final Research Argument Paper
The purpose of your final essay is to develop a persuasive argument about an issue of
social, political, or historical significance. You will apply critical thought and research
skills in support of your argument to substantiate the claims that you are making. You
want to show your audience that you are knowledgeable about your subject and have
done the necessary research to support your claims.
*NOTE*: The topic of tlris essav must be different from the topic you chose for your
previous argumentative essay. Choose a topic that both interests you AND that you feel
passionate about. If you do not care about the subject, it will be difficult to produce a
thoughtful essay. Think of this assignment as similar to your argumentative essay, but
with a new topic and more involved research.
Consider this information when formulating your essay:
Thesis
Your thesis will introduce the main claim yoll are making as your argument. A clear
thesis is so in-rporlant because it sen,es as the foundation on u'hich you r.r,ill build the rest
of youi paper. A strong thesis is one that has a stroilg. artictilate^ and li,ell-developed
claim. This can be difficult to do. You have to find a ''happy rnedium" between hyper-
specify and generalness. You will rnake your case u.ithin the body of the essay, so don't
go into extreme detail in your thesis. At the salne tirne. avoid vague language that off-ers
no real direction.
In providing this concise, not-too-specific and not-too-vague statement of your argument,
you also provide a qr-rick summary of the scope ol yor-rr paper, the ground it will cover. In
this capacity, the thesis staternent is a roaclnrcLp that te1ls youl reader not only the points
that you will rnake, but also the ordel in
"r,'hich
1'ou will make them. You must also
identify youl target audience-who you are dilectly arguing to, and so trying to
persuade-in the thesis.
Research and Supporting Paragraphs
I(eep one idea to one paragraph. If yor-r begin to transition into a new idea, it belongs in a
new paraEaph. There are solne sirnple ways to tell if you a1'e on the same topic or a new
one. You can have one idea and several bits of supporting evidence within a single
paragraph. You can also have several points in a single paragraph as long as they relate to
the overall topic of the paraEapli. If the.single points staft to get 1ong, then perhaps
elaborating on each of them and placing thern in their own palaEaphs is the ror-rte to go.
Make sure you explain how your resealch supports your clairn. If you present data to
Sror-rr audience without explaining horv it supporls your thesis your readers may not make
a connection between the two or they rnay draw different conclusions.
Don't avoid the opposing side of an argument. Insteacl. include the opposing side as a
counterclairn. Find out what the other side is saying and respond to it within your own
argum.

It discusses how the work attacks established ideas of right and wrong and suggests that evil is good. It examines Blake's criticism of Swedenborgian philosophy and his reimagining of heaven, hell, God and the devil.

2. The Book of Urizen tells the story of Urizen, who seeks to separate and organize the world through rational "laws" of his own making, attempting to contain eternal and divine forces.
3. Urizen's creation is a violent process that causes him pain and torment, as he tries desperately to control and measure an uncontrollable chaos that gets away from him. Los later enters to try and fix the problems caused by Urizen's separation from eternity, though his

Final Research Argument Essay Assignment Sheet
English 101
Final Research Argument Paper
The purpose of your final essay is to develop a persuasive argument about an issue of
social, political, or historical significance. You will apply critical thought and research
skills in support of your argument to substantiate the claims that you are making. You
want to show your audience that you are knowledgeable about your subject and have
done the necessary research to support your claims.
*NOTE*: The topic of tlris essav must be different from the topic you chose for your
previous argumentative essay. Choose a topic that both interests you AND that you feel
passionate about. If you do not care about the subject, it will be difficult to produce a
thoughtful essay. Think of this assignment as similar to your argumentative essay, but
with a new topic and more involved research.
Consider this information when formulating your essay:
Thesis
Your thesis will introduce the main claim yoll are making as your argument. A clear
thesis is so in-rporlant because it sen,es as the foundation on u'hich you r.r,ill build the rest
of youi paper. A strong thesis is one that has a stroilg. artictilate^ and li,ell-developed
claim. This can be difficult to do. You have to find a ''happy rnedium" between hyper-
specify and generalness. You will rnake your case u.ithin the body of the essay, so don't
go into extreme detail in your thesis. At the salne tirne. avoid vague language that off-ers
no real direction.
In providing this concise, not-too-specific and not-too-vague statement of your argument,
you also provide a qr-rick summary of the scope ol yor-rr paper, the ground it will cover. In
this capacity, the thesis staternent is a roaclnrcLp that te1ls youl reader not only the points
that you will rnake, but also the ordel in
"r,'hich
1'ou will make them. You must also
identify youl target audience-who you are dilectly arguing to, and so trying to
persuade-in the thesis.
Research and Supporting Paragraphs
I(eep one idea to one paragraph. If yor-r begin to transition into a new idea, it belongs in a
new paraEaph. There are solne sirnple ways to tell if you a1'e on the same topic or a new
one. You can have one idea and several bits of supporting evidence within a single
paragraph. You can also have several points in a single paragraph as long as they relate to
the overall topic of the paraEapli. If the.single points staft to get 1ong, then perhaps
elaborating on each of them and placing thern in their own palaEaphs is the ror-rte to go.
Make sure you explain how your resealch supports your clairn. If you present data to
Sror-rr audience without explaining horv it supporls your thesis your readers may not make
a connection between the two or they rnay draw different conclusions.
Don't avoid the opposing side of an argument. Insteacl. include the opposing side as a
counterclairn. Find out what the other side is saying and respond to it within your own
argum.

1. The document provides context on William Blake's prophetic book The Book of Urizen, describing it as an origin story that precedes the creation of the physical world, similar to Greek myths.
2. The Book of Urizen tells the story of Urizen, who seeks to separate and organize the world through rational "laws" of his own making, attempting to contain eternal and divine forces.
3. Urizen's creation is a violent process that causes him pain and torment, as he tries desperately to control and measure an uncontrollable chaos that gets away from him. Los later enters to try and fix the problems caused by Urizen's separation from eternity, though his

Frankenstein Presentation: Body ParagraphsAndy Black
While Othello bids a mental farewell, he acknowledges withdrawing physically and spiritually as well. He cites the sounds of battle that once stirred his spirit as now being useless to him. Othello offers a vivid description of the "pride, pomp, and circumstance" of war to show what he is giving up and why it deserves attention, but says his mind is so overwhelmed by his belief in Desdemona's betrayal that he could no longer feel exhilaration. His soul now rejects the stimulation that once drove him to lead men in war, banishing this singular motivation.

Synthesizing Sources for an Synthesis PaperAndy Black
While experts agree on the need for clean water, there is disagreement on how best to provide it. Some propose transporting bulk water via ships, barges, or bladders dragged to destinations. For inland areas, boiling water is often recommended to purify it. However, boiling may not be economically sustainable due to fuel costs. As a result, more research examines using renewable energy for water purification.
The first sentence describes something heavy, hot, and sticky. The second sentence describes a red wheelbarrow glazed with rain water next to white chickens. The third sentence states that much depends on the scene described in the second sentence.
This document provides an overview of sonnets, including their typical structure and literary devices. It explains that a sonnet traditionally has 14 lines following a specific rhyme scheme, with lines of iambic pentameter containing 10 syllables each. The two main types of sonnets discussed are the Petrarchan sonnet, with an octave rhyme scheme followed by a sestet, and the Shakespearean sonnet consisting of three quatrains and a couplet. Other concepts covered include enjambment, alliteration, and assonance. An example sonnet by Shakespeare is analyzed in detail to demonstrate these concepts.
Dante Alighieri was a 14th century Italian poet, soldier and politician. He fell in love with Beatrice Portinari at a young age and wrote much poetry about her beauty, though she died at age 24. Dante was exiled from Florence during a power struggle between factions, and wrote his epic poem The Divine Comedy while in exile. The poem describes Dante's journey through Hell (Inferno), Purgatory (Purgatorio) and Heaven (Paradiso), guided by the Roman poet Virgil. It provides vivid and imaginative descriptions of the hierarchical structures and punishments of Hell.
While the appropriate punishment for bullying is debated, two writers disagree on the solution. Deborah Temkin argues against criminalizing bullying, stating it does not help victims and bullying's definition is unclear. Instead, schools should create supportive environments to prevent bullying. However, Mark O'Mara argues bullying should be outlawed, citing its severe emotional impacts and failures of lenient responses. Though both aim to curb bullying, O'Mara believes only strict laws will stop it, while Temkin focuses on understanding and addressing its root causes before punishment is necessary.
This document provides an overview of sonnets, including their typical form and poetic devices. It notes that a sonnet traditionally has 14 lines following a specific rhyme scheme, such as Shakespearean or Petrarchan. It also discusses that sonnets use iambic pentameter, with 10 syllables per line accented in a particular pattern. Additionally, the document outlines other poetic elements often found in sonnets, such as enjambment, alliteration, and assonance. It cautions that the speaker of a sonnet may not be the author and does not indicate gender. Links are provided for additional sonnet resources.
This document provides historical context around the political factions and power struggles in Rome leading up to Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. It describes the rivalry between Marius and Sulla, followed by Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus forming the first triumvirate. It then details the subsequent conflicts between Caesar and Pompey, culminating in Pompey's defeat. The document also provides background on Marcus Junius Brutus and discusses how Brutus has been portrayed historically as both a hero and villain for his role in assassinating Caesar.
In an article in the Paducah Sun, Jeff Osborne argues that the humanities are essential and should not be defunded. He disputes Governor Bevin's view that taxpayers should not fund programs like French literature, arguing it is short-sighted to suggest education should only teach technical skills. Osborne maintains all students should understand liberal arts' values, which ironically Bevin benefited from. He quotes figures like Churchill who said we need engineers but not a "world of engineers" and concludes that without engaged citizens, economic prosperity lacks democracy's values.
This document provides guidance on introducing sources and writers to readers who may be unfamiliar with them. It recommends assuming the reader has not read or heard of the source before and does not want to read the entire article yet. Introductions should be brief, explaining who the writer is and where they are from in a sentence or two at most. Quoting full titles or providing unnecessary details should be avoided. The goal is to set up the source and context in a way that is useful and not overwhelming for the reader.

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.

2. Overview
In this short paper, you are asked to deal with the
way old and new media respond, react, or engage
each other.
Pick at least two texts and write a solid two
paragraph paper (framed by a brief introduction)
that addresses this topic.
Do NOT use parenthetical citations or include a
works cited (you will lose a letter grade if you do)
3. Overview
• Brief introduction paragraph (2-5 sentences)
• Two body paragraphs (8-11 sentences)
– Final sentence tying it all together.
• NO Conclusion paragraph
4. Old Media
• The Written can be seen as
old media when contrasted
with something newer, like
the visual qualities of the
internet or the computer
screen.
• The Manuscript, for
instance, is replaced by the
printing press.
• Or you could think of kinds
of writing – for instance,
Stephen King’s encounter
with the new technology
of the word processor.
New Media
• The Written can be seen as
new media when
contrasted with what it
replaces: Orality.
• Through the myth of
Theuth and Thamos, Plato
argues that this has a
negative effect.
• Walter Ong further
discusses what this effect
is.
5. Sample Introduction Paragraph
• Brief introduction thoughts (1-3 sentences).
• Explicit Thesis statement
The Reading at Risk report presents a bleak picture
of the state of reading and literacy in the
contemporary world. Similarly, Nicholas Carr
argues that “Google is making us stupid” by
challenging and shaping our consciousness
negatively. In this paper, I look at both Carr’s
article and the report to show the means by
which new media
6. Avoid
Broad, Sweeping Statements
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Technology is “. . . .”
Ever since the world began . . .
In the past hundred years . . .
Listing authors names. This is boring for your reader.
STICK TO THE TEXTS. I don’t want your abstract theorizing. I want
claims that can be backed up by evidence.
For this paper, your introduction should be brief and to the
point.
7. A weak introduction
In the Reading at Risk report, Dana Gioia, the chairman for
NEA argues that “While oral culture has a rich immediacy
that is not to be dismissed, and electronic media offer the
considerable advantages of diversity and access, print culture
affords irreplaceable forms of focused attention and
contemplation that make complex communications and
insights possible. To lose such intellectual capability – and the
many sorts of human continuity it allows – would constitute a
vast cultural impoverishment.” In other words, while talking
allows for immediate exchange of ideas, and technology gives
access to multiple resources of information, they cannot
replace print as forms of communication because it allows us
to focus and think deeply while we read which makes us
understand more complex ideas and communicate at a
higher level with more detail. Gioia says that if we lose the
ability to think deeply as a result of not reading literature or
print, we would be intellectually diminished as a culture. This
means that he is attributing our advancement as a culture to
reading print. Gioia’s view is shared by many prominent
academics and readers alike, while many in the popular
media, who use the former modes of communication that
Gioia mentions, have taken an opposite stance to his
arguments.
This doesn’t
introduce: it
summarizes one
article. We need
something more
that will lead us
into the topics
that paper will
explore.
8. A weak introduction
Media has changed throughout history. The way
media is displayed and produced is one of the
bigger changes. Is new media completely different
from old media? Media has transformed to fit the
needs of the public today. New technology is
produced daily that interacts and transforms the
way old media was produced and experience. The
creation of the computer, which leads to how the
Internet plays a huge role in the way society today
looks at books.
Too broad: it’s
unclear what the
paper is going to
be about, and it
just list really
broad facts.
9. A Good Introduction
Walter Ong argues that “Writing is passive, out
of it, in an unreal, unnatural world. So are
computers.” In other words, writing does not
allow us to participate in the world, but
further withdraws us from it. Stephen King
seems to support this view with his vision of a
magical word processor that creates alternate
realities. However, John Keats shows the way
that the written word allows us even greater
experiences.
10. Another Good Introduction
In this paper, I will examine the way new media
does attempts to remedy the problems of old
media. In Stephen King’s horror story The Word
Processor, we see the way technology seems to
offer this possibility. However, though King’s
story is intriguing, Plato shows the way new
media does not solve the problems, but only
enhances them.
11. Strategies
• Pick a quote or significant point from one of
the texts that you can interrogate.
(Summarizing and explaining this quote will be
your introduction)
• Use the other texts to challenge or affirm this
quote (two 11 sentence paragraphs)
12. Strategies
• Have a more typical thesis (In ______ we see
this, but in _______ we see this) in an
introduction paragraph.
• Write two 8 sentence paragraphs explaining
each point and the significance, then a final 8
sentence paragraph synthesizing and
contrasting them.
13. Strategies
In your introduction, explain that you are going
to show two attitudes inherent to old and new
media
• Write two solid 11 sentence paragraphs, one
on old media and another on new. The second
paragraph should build on the first, explaining
how one attitude challenges another.
14. Your body paragraphs should be organized. They
should not be:
- Overwhelmed with information
- A summary of one text
- A bunch of ideas that are incoherent.
Body Paragraphs
16. Body Paragraphs
• Body Paragraphs must have a structure.
– They must begin with a claim, then be followed by
evidence and analysis.
– Paragraphs should be unified, coherent, and individual
arguments that work as a part of the whole paper.
– Paragraphs should not merely be summaries, but
arguments.
– Introductory claim should be argumentative,
exploratory, and focused. Not explanatory.
– Claims should reveal the logic and order of the
paragraph.
17. Introduction/Claim
• Claims should be argumentative
– Weak claim: “Technology is an important issue.” (Way too big;
doesn’t tell me what the paragraph is going to about.)
– Weak claim: “Nicholas Carr wrote an article called Is Google
Making Us Stupid.“ (Not a claim at all)
– Weak claim: “Nicholas Carr and Douglas Rushkoff have different
ideas about technology” (Too broad, anticipate what is different
about them)
– Weak claim: Nicholas Carr writes, “Now I zip along the surface
like a guy on a Jet Ski.” (This should follow an introduction
sentence, and should not be the beginning of a paragraph.
Quotes should not introduce a paragraph.)
– Better claim: Since technology is approaching a limit, the steps
to achieve perfection will become infinitesimally small, and true
perfection will never be reached, as both technology and our
definition of perfection are ever-changing. (This sets up an
argument that the texts can use to develop.)
18. Bad Claims
• Nicholas Carr is among those who share the point of view
of Gioia, especially with respect to online media which is
considered new media while print is considered old media
– This isn’t a claim – it’s a statement. Look over the claims,
evidence analysis material. Claims should be argumentative.
• It is difficult not to glean what the author says about
technology.
– Too broad. This needs to be a more specific argument.. The
introduction should lay that out clearer.
• The author presents us with many philosophical questions
that add to the underlying meaning of this article.
– Again, too broad. Vague terms “Philosophical Questions” . ..
“Underlying Meaning”
19. Bad Claims
• Michael Seifert wrote “An Act of Faith in
America,” which is about how a run-down town
in Texas that does not have basic services like
paved roads
– Don’t just introduce texts in the opening sentence.
• From the aspect of rhetorical appeals, Carey and
Seifert take different approaches in building their
points.
– Too Broad; be as specific as possible.
20. Bad Claim to a good claim
• William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 138 is a poem that
describes the love found within a couple’s
relationship.
– Too broad; it explains, it doesn’t explore.
• In Sonnet 138, William Shakespeare describes the
way relationships have to be unconventional in
order to work.
– Now it’s an argument, a specific reading, and will say
something about both WHAT Shakespeare does and
HOW he does it.
21. • The speaker then compares the woman’s
“dun” breasts to the whiteness of snow.
– Too broad
• When the speaker compares his lovers “dun”
breasts to the whiteness of snow, he shows
the way his vision of the lover is unaffected by
the way she actually looks. He moves on to
show how content he is even with her obvious
flaws.
Bad Claim to a good claim
22. Good Claims
• In Donne's Holy Sonnets, forgiveness is also entirely
within God's power, and there is no direct reference to
penance.
• Yet what the speaker recognizes in the second part of
the sonnet through the use of logic and provocative
language is the fact that while time may dictate what is
new and old with its eternal view of life, it is really man
who “makes them born to our desire”
• Both poems use darkness to represent sin, however
Donne presents that darkness as much more
“consuming.”
23. Evidence
• Use concrete, vivid, and specific evidence to
illustrate and develop your claim.
• Use quotes and examples. Paraphrase when
necessary. If you quote, make sure you explain
the significance of the quote.
• Do not OVERQUOTE. If a quote is there, it needs
to be there for a reason.
• It’s important that you give specific examples that
build on your claim. Use the language to make
your case.
24. Analysis
• You need to show the reader why the
evidence you presented is relevant and
important.
• Analysis may be peppered throughout the
paragraph, or it may come all at the end.
• A good strategy is to present a claim, follow it
up by giving evidence, and then show how
that evidence is significant to your overall
argument.
26. A strong paragraph
While new, electronic media offer the reader
advantages such as accessibility and diversity, they
should be considered a reading supplement to old
print media rather than a replacement. As Rushkoff
says in his article, “A new medium only replaces an
old one if it does everything better.” He also explains
one aspect of physical books that electronic media
cannot replace when he says, “Books offer a different
experience than digital media…A book has totemic
value. Like a photograph or a piece of jewelry, the
impression of ink on paper creates a physical
connection with its author.” Reading requires one to
actively participate, as the book will not move
forward on its own, while electronic media often
offers the opposite of this. As the NEA asserts, “By
contrast, most electronic media such as television,
recordings, and radio make fewer demands on their
audiences, and indeed often require no more than
passive participation.” It is entirely possible to watch
a film passively and form no opinion or analysis of its
content. However, reading a book causes one to
slowly absorb the material and, at least on a
subconscious level, think about the subject matter at
hand. Reading a book will usually create an
enveloping and thought-stimulating experience,
while electronic media can easily lull one into
becoming a passive participant.
The opening claim is an argument that can the
entire paragraph can fulfill
The Rushkoff quote is effective, persuasive
language.
Additional quote adds to the significance and
builds on the claim. However, this long
quote could you use some more analysis,
or be shortened. Too many terms go
unexplained.
The NEA quote could probably be paraphrased
– it’s too lengthy. The only key terms here
is “passive participation.”
The analysis is strong, because it builds on the
significance of the claim and the quotes
used.

28. GENERAL STUFF
PAY attention to the following issues! If I see papers
overloaded with the following “avoids,” you’ll
receive a lower grade!
• Avoid superlatives
• Avoid vague terms
• You must introduce quotes.
• Refer to authors by last name
• You should not refer to yourself too much
31. You must introduce quotes.
On the other hand, I think increasing the amount of
soldiers in the Middle East would be beneficial to the
United States. “U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice has warned that Afghanistan will become a failed
state without full NATO support” (Lancaster 4).
– The second sentence must be introduced; someone has to
say it.
• On the other hand, I think increasing the amount of
soldiers in the Middle East would be beneficial to the
United States. For instance, John Lancaster points out
that “U.S. Secretary . . .”
32. Referring to authors
• Refer to authors by last name
– Not “Walter,” not “Mr. Ong.” He is just “Ong”
– The first time, refer to them by their whole name.
Then refer to them by the last name.
– You might refer to a character by the first name if
they are a character in a novel. (Huck Finn would
probably be “Huck.”)
– But Authors need to be dealt with formally.
33. First Person
Though these are formal papers, you can use
first person.
However, you should not refer to yourself too
much. Avoid “I think,” “I feel,” “In my opinion,”
etc. You are making an argument.
34. A few other things
• Don’t use Contractions (like don’t on won’t; do not or will
not instead)
• Quote correctly –see the sample format sheet and the
earlier slide.
• Use transitions.
• Avoid conversational language –see the “Do Not Use”
section of the Writing Instruction Sheets
• Avoid passive voice as much as possible (“This is seen;” “His
feelings are shown when . . .”)
• Don’t use semi-colons or parentheses (except for
parenthetical citations). In my experience, 90% of student
writing that uses semi-colons uses them incorrectly.

information here is repeated on these, but these
are really helpful in explaining the kinds of
things I grade for and the expectations I have for
writing.
