Conclusion
A. Start your conclusion by re-stating your thesis in different words than the original one from your introduction. B. Summarize main points, tie up any lose ends. C. Call to action: Give the reader some concrete actions they can do to help cause change Here are some example conclusions. --- Each body paragraph should begin with a topic sentence. --- Each paraphrased fact or direct quote should be followed by a sentence that explains it, adds details, etc. Try not to put multiple facts in a row without a sentence of your own words in between. --- Each paraphrased fact or direct quote should be followed by an in-text citation. (Author's Last Name). OR ("Article Title"). The period goes AFTER the citation only. Nothing else should be inside the ( ). Here is a document that contains some example body paragraphs. "Quotes from the text" meaning.. your research.
"Analysis" meaning the explanation of your facts. Please create a new document and format the header, heading, and title the same way you did in the outline. (See screenshot below.) Double space! Here is a document that contains numerous color-coded introductions that use a variety of attention getters. You could also look at the different thesis structures for inspiration.
1. The MLA outline and works cited (that includes 2 annotated bibliography entires) should be printed as ONE document.
2. Double check all FORMATTING: -- double spaced? -- correct heading on each page? (last name and page #) -- correct header on the first page only -- centered title for the outline -- Roman numerals for each outlined paragraph -- capital letters for each fact -- citation following each fact (author's last name) or ("Article Title") with the PERIOD following the citation. -- Works Cited centered -- handing indent on all entries -- alphabetical order See screenshots below. On Monday.... you'll turn in: 1. MLA Outline that includes a thesis, all topic sentences, and all facts with citations. 2. Works Cited page that included the two annotated bibliographies and other source citations. (This should all be one document.) Below is an example of the outline formatting. Read the letter points for additional information about how to CITE your sources. Here is the RUBRIC I will use to grade the outline and works cited page.
Example fill-in-the-blank thesis statement Even though some people think (topic) is okay because (counter argument), (topic) is (opinion) because (reason 1), (reason 2), and (reason 3). Example: Even though some people think euthanasia is good because it eliminates suffering, euthanasia should be illegal because ...... Choose 1 source to write a FORMATIVE annotated bibliography entry on. This is due at the beginning of class tomorrow (3/5). I will give you feedback that you can then apply to the other annotated bibliography you complete for a summative grade.
An Annotated Bib has three parts: 1. MLA Citation 2. Summarize Paragraph 3. Assess Paragraph MLA CITATION: Follow the citation format for your type of source. Website article: Author's last name, first name. "Article Title." Website Title. Publisher, Publishing date. Web. Access date. - If there is no author listed, leave it blank. - Write the access date like this: 3 March 2015. - Leave "Web." in there ... that's just to signify you accessed the article online. Personally Conducted Interview: Interviewee's Last name, first name. Personal Interview. Date Interview. - Write the date like this: 3 March 2015. SUMMARIZE PARAGRAPH: - Write 4-5 sentences that summarize the source's main points. - The topic sentence should include the article title and/or author's name. - Write in 3rd person. (No "I"s or "yous".) - Include one direct quote that you imbed into a sentence of your own writing. For example: Even though many think abortion should be legal because a woman may be raped, "less than 1% of all abortions performed due to rape." ASSESS PARAGRAPH: - Write 4-5 sentences that proves the source's credibility. - Things to consider: where was it published? when was it published? are sources cited? what is the site's domain (.org, .com, etc.)? what types of people, organizations, or universities are quoted or mentioned? is there bias? how do you know? - Be sure to explain HOW the publication date PROVES the credibility. Do not just say when it was published. |
