Fri, Jan 8
DUE TODAY: Nothing in writing
HOMEWORK TONIGHT: More edits to research paper based on reader fdbk ... final draft DUE JAN. 14
FOCUS TODAY: Revising a draft
In computer lab for paper improvement/revisions
Common editing problems in English 10 research papers:
- Verb tense: Some of you like to use past tense, then you switch to present, then back to past again. This is confusing.
- RULE: Maintain a consistent verb tense for ease of reading. Example of the error: J.K. Rowling wrote the Harry Potter series over many years, and she spends many hours studying magic and thinking about creative spells.
- Sentence fluency: Many of you have writing that may seem fine when you read it on the page, but when the words are read by someone else, it’s unclear what you mean. For this reason, you should have someone read your paper to you so you can hear it out loud. Many of the errors you will catch with this strategy.
- Mis-spelled words, especially homonyms (words that sound the same but are spelled differently).
- Then vs. Than
- “Then” indicates TIME – “Stephen King wrote ‘Misery’ then he went back to work on the ‘Dark Tower’ series.”
- “Than” indicates a COMPARISON – “Stephen King’s books have sold more copies than all other horror novelists combined.”
- There vs. Their vs. They’re
- “There” is a PLACE – “Poe died there in the street.”
- “Their” means someone POSSESSES something – “Their strength of character always impressed me.”
- “They’re” is “they” + “are” – RULE: Do not include contractions in your formal papers (unless your paper is about childbirth) ;-)
Ways to add more text to your paper:
- Read the essential questions on the original assignment, then inspect your paper to ensure you have specifically and carefully answered each. Are there any holes in the way you responded? Anything you need to add?
- Read your paper and write out the main points of it – like an outline. Ensure that the outline you “see” in your paper matches the outline recommended on the original assignment. Any additions you need to make?
- Did you include transition sentences to finish or start each body paragraph? These sentences that link main ideas are helpful to the reader.
- If you used a direct quote from an author, then you may want to see if you explained why the quote was meaningful. Quotes often aren’t obvious to a reader, even if they’re obvious to you, so make sure you introduce the quote and explain it as well.
- Develop a more complex introduction or conclusion.

Have your paper ready to go as you enter class today!
Wed, Dec 9
DUE TODAY: Full outline
HOMEWORK TONIGHT:
- Complete a full draft of the paper - intro, body paragraphs, conclusion, title page, reference page - all in APA format
FOCUS TODAY: Composition of body paragraphs
By now you have chosen your major sources from research time, and you have organized your data into an outline. Hopefully, you made notes about what sections of your sources you would summarize, which parts you would paraphrase, and what parts you plan to directly quote. By clicking on the hyperlinks, you can find the rules for including those styles in your body paragraphs.
Responsible Authorship: You will be tempted just to write "in your own words" what you've read on various web sites. This isn't creating a research paper - it's recycling what's already out there. You must PROCESS and MAKE SENSE OF what you've read about your author and the author's writing.
Where's your input?
- Many students simply quote, summarize, and paraphrase happily, composing a paper that contains absolutely no original thinking whatsoever. Often this is because in earlier grades they were simply asked to find data and present that data without making any conclusions about what it meant.
- True research paper writing for high school and college does not simply repeat what others have said. Quality research introduces a unique position on a topic. Quality researchers look at the raw data and make conclusions and comments about it.
- After you summarize, paraphrase, or quote directly, you ought to pause and consider what you can conclude from what you've just read. "Now that you have the facts, what do those facts seem to tell you?" What does source material tell me? Quotes from a text can:
reveal
show
explain
illustrate
demonstrate
emphasize
present
establish
exhibit
expose
indicate
make evident
prove
and even validate
We use textual quotes to help support greater arguments, usually those assertions that control a main point in our paper.
Today is all about composing body paragraphs plus an intro and conclusion.
Please note that next class a full draft of your paper is due - in APA format. This includes:
Mon, Dec 7
DUE TODAY:
- One small paragraph (5-7 sentences) on the time period in which your author lived and worked (as described in the previous lesson)
- By the end of the period: A skeleton outline
HOMEWORK TONIGHT:
- Full outline and concentrated work on body paragraphs
- If working on your body paragraphs, review the rules concerning in-text citations
FOCUS TODAY: Outlines, in-text citations
You have read plenty of information about your selected author. Now it is time to see how much the information you have gathered will help you answer the essential questions and complete the required organization.
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
Required:
- What relevance does this author's work have for us today?
Select ONE of these also:
- How did the author and his/her work influence society, literature, and/or the arts in his/her own time?
- How did the time period in which the author lived (including society, culture, literature, and the arts) influence the author's work?
The essential questions force you to find information about why the author's work is notable - both in his/her own lifetime and in our present day. As stated previously, you must read reviews of the author's work to find out why this author is famous in the first place. Questions you might explore include:
- Was he/she part of an artistic movement?
- Did he/she follow up on the work of any other notable author?
- Did he/she write about a specific segment of society, like the poor?
- Did he/she influence artists and authors who came afterward?
- Did he/she pioneer a kind of writing style?
You must read enough articles to become somewhat of an expert not only on the author's life, but on the author's writing style as well. What makes him/her famous as an author? What techniques are used in his/her writing that makes him/her an author worth reading?
ORGANIZATION:
I. Introduction
II. Author’s time period
1. Overview of the culture of the author’s time period (politics, society, music, art, theatre, etc.)
2. Popular and important texts (literature) of the time (not written by the author), and how/why these texts appealed to the populace
III. Author’s work
1. Important texts from the author at that time
2. Quotes from critics about this author’s work. (Use direct quotes as well as indirect quotes for variety.)
3. Discuss the author’s influence on his/her society -OR- influence of society on the author's work
IV. Author’s impact now – the lasting importance and relevance of this author’s work. (It may help to answer the question, “Why should someone care about what this author wrote?”)
V. Conclusion
Many people still think they are writing a biography, despite constant reminders to the contrary. Look at the outline and notice that it does not emphasize the author's life, except in the way his/her life may have influenced the author's writing.
TODAY:
You must continue to gather information, but ideally you must begin to organize this information, moving toward a solid outline. Today you must continue to research and read sources, yet you must also begin ORGANIZING this research data - deciding what source information will go into which sections of our paper.
- If you have not completed the paragraph homework assignment from last class, that is your first priority.
- Once you have turned in the paragraph homework, then you may begin to work on organizing sources to prepare an outline.
GOAL: A skeleton outline that shows what sources you will use in which parts of the paper.
As you move on to prepare body paragraphs, review the rules for in-text citations
Thu, Dec 3
DUE TODAY: One small paragraph, as described in previous lesson's homework
HOMEWORK TONIGHT:
- One small paragraph (5-7 sentences) on the time period in which your author lived and worked. What was life like? What major scientific developments occurred that may have affected daily life for the people of the author's time? What major artistic, literary developments were happening? Were there major economic events that affected quality of life for the populace? Wars? Exploration? Technological developments that changed how people lived? Focus on the time period in which the author lived and research what was happening in the world, the U.S., and perhaps even that author's home state/town as he/she grew up.
FOCUS TODAY: Organization of body paragraphs
REMINDER: Before you can perform today's research assignment, you must complete the one-paragraph homework assignment from last class: What is the most interesting thing I've discovered about my author so far, and why is it relevant in the "grand scheme of things?" (In other words: What have you found out about this person that has helped you begin to understand why he/she is considered a famous author?)
Think ahead to the actual essay for a moment.
The recommended organization of the essay on the original assignment sheet is as follows:
Organization
I. Introduction
II. Author’s time period
1. Overview of the culture of the author’s time period (politics, society, music, art, theatre, etc.)
2. Popular and important texts (literature) of the time (not written by the author), and how/why these texts appealed to the populace
III. Author’s work
1. Important texts from the author at that time
2. Quotes from critics about this author’s work. (Use direct quotes as well as indirect quotes for variety.)
3. Discuss the author’s influence on his/her society -OR- influence of society on the author's work
IV. Author’s impact now – the lasting importance and relevance of this author’s work. (It may help to answer the question, “Why should someone care about what this author wrote?”)
V. Conclusion
You can see that the outline doesn't emphasize biographical information about the author. Instead, it emphasizes the author's time period, other popular writings from the author's time, and the author's own writings. If you include biographical information, it will likely be in body paragraph 1 as you give a broad overview of who the author is.
Today's research needs to be focused on discovering information to complete the recommended outline. As you work and read, you will find information about the author, the author's time, and the author's work. If anything strikes you as useful to fit into the outline, then plop it into a Word document w/ an APA reference.
Due next class is a short paragraph about what was happening in the U.S. and the world during the author's lifetime. ONLY FOCUS ON EVENTS YOU FEEL HAD AN EFFECT ON THE AUTHOR'S WORK - that will eliminate many items that seem interesting, but don't really have relevance for this assignment.
Researching for information about the author's time:
You can discover what was happening in the world during the author's lifetime by researching world history and american history timelines and chronologies.
- First verify the years your author lived and worked - focus on those years.
- Start with the Pierce County Library "E-Sources" page again - this is your best bet for focused searching
- This time, select the option for "research databases by subject" because you know you want to search for items relating to HISTORY
- Choose "History Resource Center: U.S." because your author is American (don't worry, world events will show up as well as you will see)
- I found that clicking on my desired time period under the "CHRONOLOGY" section revealed what was happening during my author's lifetime. Browse here, and pay attention to tabs that may allow you to see what was happening in the world at the same time.
- Also try the American History page from "HistoryCentral.com" - then after you've seen what was happening in the U.S., use the link in the left sidebar menu for "World Timeline"
- HistoryWorld.net has a good library of timelines
- You might try the online "Chronology of World History" - this is quite detailed, but it could yield good info
- But really - you should look for your author's name in timelines and chronologies to see how he/she played a role in history. To do this, you can use "boolean" searches that allow you to type in your author's name plus other key words like "timeline" or "chronology"
Next class we will look at in-text citations and building an outline (here is a sample outline)
Tues, Dec 1
DUE TODAY: By end of class: Summarize the content of three new sources you discovered today. Give the APA reference info for the source first, then the brief (5-7 sentences) summary. One summary per source.
HOMEWORK TONIGHT:
- One small paragraph on this topic: What is the most interesting thing I've discovered about my author so far, and why is it relevant in the "grand scheme of things?" (In other words: What have you found out about this person that has helped you begin to understand why he/she is considered a famous author?)
FOCUS TODAY: Organization
FIRST: Read what is "DUE TODAY" above. You will turn in some work by the end of class.
REMINDER: You are NOT writing a biography of this author. Yes, biographical information will be in your essay, but the assignment requires that you answer these questions:
Required:
- What relevance does this author's work have for us today?
Select ONE of these also:
- How did the author and his/her work influence society, literature, and/or the arts in his/her own time?
- How did the time period in which the author lived (including society, culture, literature, and the arts) influence the author's work?
It's easy to find biographical information about authors. In this assignment, the biographical data is only useful if the author's own life experiences are reflected in their writing. Most of your essay will not focus on the author's life, but on the author's art. Today you will focus on gathering information about the author's art. You do that by looking at what other people have said about the author's art. You want critical reviews.
Open a new MSWord document and a browser window so you can type into the Word document anything interesting you are about to find.
- Put your name at the top of the Word document, along with the date
- Skip a couple lines and type "Author focus:" followed by your author's name
In the browser, go to the Pierce County Library "E-Sources" page
- Get out your library card (if you have one) - No library card? Then sign up for a library card.
- Okay, now that you have an ID number and login ...
- On the "E-Sources" page, click E-sources research databases by resource name, A-Z
- Pick "Literature Resource Center" - this is pure research gold, guaranteed
- In the "Basic Search" box, type in your author's full name DON'T SEARCH YET!
- Click the button for "Person - By or About" - Now you can search if you want, but ...
- Try the other search parameters like date. For example, you might just want to search for information about your author that was published in the 20th Century. You can do that!
- When ready, click SEARCH
The power of this database is that it finds all kinds of content: biographies, literary criticism, multimedia, topic & work overviews - basically everything you need for a good research paper.
- Notice that the results are categorized by tabs at the top.
- Check out "Literature Criticism". This is where you'll find out what critics have said about the author's writing. This is also where you'll find out WHY the author's work is famous - what makes their writing unique and worthy? Don't be misled by simple titles - I found awesome data on Louisa May Alcott in one simply titled "Introduction"
- Check out the "Topic & Work Overviews" tab - you can find a quick overview of each of the author's major works here - all without Google!
When finished perusing the "Literature Resource Center" information, go back to the list of E-source databases
- Scroll down to "Literary Criticism Online"
- When prompted, enter your login and password
- In the "Basic Search" box, type in your author's first and last name, and choose "Named Author" from the drop-down menu just to the right. Hit SEARCH.
The power of this database is that it finds criticism of the author's works, and in some cases criticism written by the author about other artists. You want to find specific reviews of the author's stories or poems because there you will discover WHY the author is famous - what is important about his/her writing.
- If you find a good article that you think helps you answer the essential questions, then summarize the key information in your MSWord document and record the data you will need for your "References" page.
Now you're ready to go to the Internet proper
In the browser, go to the Internet Public Library "Literary Criticism" page at http://www.ipl.org/div/litcrit/
- Look for "Browse for Criticism by Author's Last Name" and select the letter of your author's last name
- Scroll to your author and click the link to see what sources are there
- Browse any sources that look promising
- If you find a good site that you think helps you answer the essential questions, then summarize the key information in your MSWord document!
When finished browsing through the sites you accessed through the author's last name:
- Go back to the "Literary Criticism" page
- Look for "Browse for Criticism and Works by Title"
- Now look for critical reviews of some of the author's work - now you're looking at specific titles!
- Again, if you find a good site that you think helps you answer the essential questions, then summarize the key information in your MSWord document!

- The Literature Network
- Official and unofficial sites about the author - try your author's name followed by ".org"
- American Authors on the Web

- answers.com
- ask.com
- pinkmonkey
- For each web page, copy the following information into the MSWord document under a section titled "Biographical Links":
- URL (the entire web address)
- Page Title
- First and last name of the person who wrote the information on the web page (look at the top and bottom for names, and if no person is mentioned, you want to look for an organization name that sponsored the data)
- Sponsoring organization (or host)
- Date the information was posted and/or last updated
- Any copyright date
- SAVE YOUR MSWORD DOCUMENT EVERY TEN MINUTES OR SO!
- After typing in the information for the biographical links, skip a couple lines and head this next section "Basic Biographical Data." Type in short answers to the following simple questions:

- Skip a couple lines and title this section "Specific Focus." Type in answers to the following questions:
- What is/was one of the author's most famous pieces of writing? When was it published? (If your author is primarily known as a poet, then you might find a couple titles for which he/she is well-known. For example, the poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" is perhaps the most famous poem by T. S. Eliot.)
- What was it about the piece mentioned in the question above that made/makes it famous? Is it the style the author chose to use? Is it the subject matter he/she talks about? WHAT?
- Skip a couple lines and answer the QUESTION OF THE DAY: Based on what you read today, what are your first impressions of this author as a person and as an artist? Why do you suppose this person is famous as a writer?

Thu, Nov 19
DUE TODAY: Nothing - by the end of the period, select an author to research
HOMEWORK TONIGHT: Instead of searching randomly, use purposeful searches to capture data that may be helpful for this specific assignment.
FOCUS TODAY: Forming a focus for your research
Begin today by reading the entire page at http://www.ipl.org/div/aplus/step3.htm This web page will help you focus your research as opposed to just randomly searching Google for the name of your author.
If you have not selected an author on whom to focus, please do so today. The sooner you select, the sooner you can get going on research.
Before you can decide on a focus, you need to explore your topic, to become informed about the topic, to build on your knowledge and experience. You'll be locating books, articles, videos, internet and other resources about your topic and reading to learn! You're looking for an issue, an aspect, a perspective on which to focus your research paper. (From "TeenSpace" The Internet Public Library for Teens, url: http://www.ipl.org/div/aplus/step3.htm Retrieved 11/18/09)
You are looking to answer the basic questions about the author:

- How did the author and his/her work influence society, literature, and/or the arts in his/her own time?
- How did the time period in which the author lived (including society, culture, literature, and the arts) influence the author's work?
What to do:
- During your computer time, open a blank Word document and an Internet window
- Dedicate 20-30 minutes to Google or another search engine to investigate pages that may be helpful for your research
- Be smart while searching: Use the "Advanced Search" function to narrow your results
- When you find a useful page, note the author, URL address, and write a quick few comments about the source in your MSWord document
- Make a bullet list of these pages that look useful
- Dedicate 20-30 minutes to ProQuest and other academic databases, continuing your bullet list
- Go to the library's home page - You can get there using the sidebar menu at right - go to the Steilacoom HS home page first, then select "Library" then "Destiny"
- Select the "CATALOG" tab, and type in your topic or key words relating to your topic
- The search results will give you books and web sites that are RELIABLE and REPUTABLE
- Begin to narrow your resources down to those that will really help - keep anywhere from 7-10 resources; DON'T OVER-DO IT
- PRINT and SAVE - perhaps even EMAIL your Word document to yourself
Tues, Nov 17
