Writing an OutlineWhat is an outline?

1. A way to ___________ the _______________ you found from your sources.

2. A way to ______the ____________ of what you plan to write.

Why should you write an outline?

1. To make sure you have ___________ __________________ on your topic.

2. To make sure your ________ are ________ ______________ ______.

3. To make sure your information is ______________ by ________________.

23

How do you write an outline?

1. Use Microsoft Word’s _____________ ______________

2. Start by using a Roman Numeral: I. and then continue using the

“_________” and “_______” buttons

Example:

I. Introduction Paragraph

a. Hook

b. Thesis

II. Paragraph 1- First proof for claim

a. Topic sentence/claim

b. Text Evidence

b. Broad Worldview

Quotations MarksRule 1Periods and commas always go inside quotation marks, even inside single quotes.

Examples:-The sign changed from "Walk," to "Don't Walk," to "Walk" again within 30 seconds.-She said, "Hurry up." -She said, "He said, 'Hurry up.'"

Rule 2The placement of question marks with quotes follows logic. If a question is in quotation marks, the question mark should be placed inside the quotation marks.

Examples:-She asked, "Will you still be my friend?" -Do you agree with the saying, "All's fair in love and war"?

Here the question is outside the quote.

24

NOTE: Only one ending punctuation mark is used with quotation marks. Also, the stronger punctuation mark wins. Therefore, no period after war is used.

Rule 3When you have a question outside quoted material AND inside quoted material, use only one question mark and place it inside the quotation mark.

Example:-Did she say, "May I go?"

Rule 4Use single quotation marks for quotes within quotes. Note that the period goes inside all quote marks.

Example:-He said, "Danea said, 'Do not treat me that way.'"

Rule 5Use quotation marks to set off a direct quotation only.

Examples:-"When will you be here?" he asked.-He asked when you will be there.

Rule 6Do not use quotation marks with quoted material that is more than three lines in length. See Colons, Rule 5, for style guidance with longer quotes.

Rule 7When you are quoting something that has a spelling or grammar mistake or presents material in a confusing way, insert the term sic in italics and enclose it in brackets. Sic means, "This is the way the original material was."

Example:-She wrote, "I would rather die then [sic] be seen wearing the same outfit as my sister." Should be than, not then.

Framing a QuotationWhat does it mean to frame a quotation?

1. Framing a quotation means to ______ words at the beginning or the end that

add important ______________.

Why should you frame quotations?

25

1. To ________ to the reader information such as ___________ the

information came from, _______ wrote it, or give it ____________.

2. A quotation should not stand by itself. _____________ a frame a quotation

is ____________ placed in a paragraph and can shock the reader,

___________ the ________of the writing.

Examples of quotation frames:Frame followed by quotation:

When speaking to various audiences, we need to remember one fact: “[people] listen to speeches about things of interest tothem” (Lehman 435). 

Author Carol Lehmam has identified “… some important facts [we] can obtain about most audiences: ages, genders, occupations, educational levels, attitudes, values, broad and specific interests, and needs, if any” (435). 

Quotation followed by frame:

“In addition to these factors, [we] should also consider … the occasion and location” of the oral presentation we are making (Lehman 435). 

“Patriotic speeches to a group of military veterans will differ from speeches to a group of new recruits, just as Fourth of July speeches will differ from Memorial Day speeches,” writes Carol Lehman (435). 

Quotation within the frame:"Books," Lawrence wrote, "are not life" (92).

Signal Phrases for Framing a Quotation A _________ __________ is used to tell the reader that information is being used from an outside source. One thing to remember when using signal phrases is to vary them as much as possible; your paper will seem repetitive if you continually reuse the same phrasing such as, Jane Doe said, Tiger Woods said, etc. See some possible variations below:

• In the words of President Clinton, “…” (29).

26

• As Oprah Winfrey has noted, “…” (2).

• Dr. James T. Kirk points out that “…” (11).

• “…” claims Mr. John Doe (2).

• Al Gore offers the argument that “…” (111).

Block Quotations

When should a block quotation be used?1. When you need to use a quotation of ________ ________ or __________. 2. Block quotations should be used ____________ in longer essays and articles

(multiple pages) and rarely in shorter works (1,500 words or less). 3. Lengthy, wordy quotations should never be used simply to fill pages when

the writer has little to say about the topic or issue.

27

How should a block quotation be formatted?

1. The sentence _________ the block quotation should have information _________________ the quotation (context) and the author

2. The sentence before the quotation should end with a __________.3. The entire free standing block of the quoted material is _____________ 1”

from the left margin (10 spaces or 2 tabs) and is double-spaced throughout.4. _______________ _________ are ______ _________ at the beginning or

end of the quotation.5. Be sure to explain how your quotation _________ your ________ in the

remainder of your paragraph.

Example:

Anti-Semitism has been an issue for centuries. Ranging from Bible times, with Queen Ester, to

the Holocaust, atrocities have been committed agains the Jewish population. According to the

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum:

Among the most common manifestations of antisemitism throughout history were

pogroms, violent riots launched against Jews and frequently encouraged by

government authorities. (ushmm.org)

Pogroms could be started for many reasons, but they were often not credible. Rumors,

assumptions and prejudices spurred fear in those who did not understand Jewish customs.

Governments, and those who felt threatened by Jews often took advantage of these

misunderstandings and manipulated the general population…

Working with Quotations

Deleting Information

What are ellipsis?_________ ______ in a _____ with a space before, after, and between them ( . . . ).

28

How are ellipsis points used?Ellipsis points are used to show that you used a quotation from a text, but ______ ______ _____________ _________ or information.

How should ellipsis points be spaced within a sentence?Ellipsis points ________ the _________ of the ________ that you left out of a quotation. A space should appear between each of the three dots, as well as before and after the ellipsis.

Let’s take a look at an example:Original direct quotation:

“[D]riving is not as automatic as one might think; in fact, it imposes a heavy procedural workload on cognition that, especially in difficult driving conditions, leaves little processing capacity available for other tasks” (Salvucci and Taatgen 107).

Quotation with ellipsis points used correctly:“[D]riving is not as automatic as one might think; in fact, it imposes a heavy procedural workload on cognition that . . . leaves little processing capacity available for other tasks” (Salvucci and Taatgen 107).

Note: All of the required spaces have been included in this example.

Quotation with ellipsis points used incorrectly:“Driving is not as automatic as one might think; in fact, it imposes a heavy procedural workload on cognition that...leaves little processing capacity available for other tasks” (Salvucci and Taatgen 107).

Note: All of the required spaces have been incorrectly omitted in this example.

FYI: Do not begin or end a direct quotation with ellipsis points (except in rare instances). The reader already assumes that the quote has been excerpted from a larger work.

A word of caution: Ellipses may not be used to alter the quotation in a way that inaccurately or unfairly represents the original text, either in meaning or grammatical construction. Quite simply, do not use ellipses to make a quote say something other than what the author originally intended.Altering Words to make it Work

29

What punctuation should be used when words are inserted or altered in a direct quotation?

When writers _________ or ________ words in a direct quotation, square ______________—[ ]—are placed __________ the part that was ____________.

How are square brackets used around clarifying or explanatory words?

The brackets go around words that are added or changed to ________ ____________, provide a brief ______________, or to help a quotation _____ into the writer’s sentence. 

Let’s look at an example:Quotation with brackets used correctly around a clarifying word:

“It [driving] imposes a heavy procedural workload on cognition that . . . leaves little processing capacity available for other tasks” (Salvucci and Taatgen 107). [1]Note: Brackets are placed around the inserted word in this example to let the reader know that ‘driving’ clarifies the meaning of the pronoun ‘it.’

Quotation with brackets used correctly around an explanatory insert:“[D]riving is not as automatic as one might think; in fact, it imposes a heavy procedural workload [visual and motor demands] on cognition that . . . leaves little processing capacity available for other tasks” (Salvucci and Taatgen 107).Note: Brackets are placed around the inserted words in this example to provide further explanation of the “procedural workload” discussed in the original text.

Integrated quotation with brackets used correctly to indicate a change in letter case:Salvucci and Taatgen propose that “[t]he heavy cognitive workload of driving suggests that any secondary task has the potential to affect driver behavior” (108).Note: Brackets are placed around the lower-case letter “t” to indicate that the upper case “T” in the original is changed to a lower case letter.

Quotation with brackets used correctly to indicate a change in verb tense:“Not coincidentally, drivers [are] increasingly engaging in secondary tasks while driving” (Salvucci and Taatgen 68).Note: Brackets are placed around the word ‘are’ to indicate that the verb has been changed to the present tense, which is the preferred tense for most writing in MLA style.

A word of caution: Bracketed insertions may not be used to alter or add to the quotation in a way that inaccurately or unfairly represents the original text. Quite simply, do not use bracketed material in a way that twists the author’s meaning.Errors in a quotation

30

What do you do if there is an error in the quotation and you don’t want to get blamed?

_____ is used to show that a __________ was made in the ____________ text and that the quotation is an exact copy, mistake and all. Sic is usually ____________ and always surrounded by ______________. Place [sic] right _________ the error.

Example: She wrote, “They made there [sic] beds.”

Note: The correct sentence should have been, “They made their beds.”

Why use [sic] at all? Why not just make the correction?

If you are quoting material, it is expected that you will copy it __________ as it appeared in the original.

Paraphrasing

31

What is paraphrasing and why would I want to do it?

Sometimes quotations are ______ _______ to include in your paper, or a little too

__________________. You can paraphrase, or put the idea from the text ____

_______ _______ _________ and use it in your paper.

Here are a few things to remember when paraphrasing:

1. ___________ _______ the __________ of the paraphrased information and

list the source on your ________ ________ page.

2. __________ the information using _______ _______ _________ and your

own sentences. Never use the same sentence structure as the original author.

Parenthetical Citations

32

What is a parenthetical citation? A parenthetical citation is a when a writer directly puts into the text a note from __________ he or she got the __________________.

What is the purpose of using parenthetical citations?A parenthetical citation allows the __________ to know which ________ a quotation or idea _______ ________.

Are all parenthetical citations the same?Parenthetical citations look ______________ after different types of quotations/paraphrases. See below for examples.

For more information about the different types of parenthetical citations visit the following website:

https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/02/

Citations for basic print sources: To make a parenthetical citation you place the author’s last name and the page number the information came from inside the parenthesis. The parenthetical citation goes inside the end punctuation. Example (quotation):“In 2007, 37 percent of American adults sought medical information from the internet regarding a health problem they were experiencing before consulting a doctor” (Smith 38).

Example (paraphrase):Instead of going to a doctor right away, a recent study found that 37 percent of Americans are now turning to the internet for medical information (Smith 38).

Citations for Websites: For electronic and Internet sources, follow the following guidelines:

33

Include in the parenthetical citation the first item that appears in the Work Cited entry that goes with the citation (e.g. author name, article name, website name, film name).

You do not need to give paragraph numbers or page numbers Unless you must list the Web site name in the signal phrase in order to get the reader to

the appropriate entry, do not include URLs in-text. Only provide partial URLs such as when the name of the site includes, for example, a domain name, like CNN.com instead of writing out http://www.cnn.com

Citations for when the author’s name is stated in the sentence: If the author's name appears in the sentence itself it should not go in the parenthetical citation, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses.

Example:Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (263).

Example:Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).

Citing print sources with no known author:When a source has no known author, use a shortened title of the work instead of an author name. Place the title in quotation marks if it's a short work (such as an article) or italicize it if it's a longer work (e.g. plays, books, television shows, entire Web sites) and provide a page number.

Example: We see so many global warming hotspots in North America likely because this region has "more readily accessible climatic data and more comprehensive programs to monitor and study environmental change . . ." ("Impact of Global Warming" 6).

Citing the BibleIn your first parenthetical citation, you want to make clear which Bible you're using (and underline or italicize the title), as each version varies in its translation, followed by book (do not italicize or underline), chapter and verse.

Example:Ezekiel saw "what seemed to be four living creatures," each with faces of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle (New Jerusalem Bible, Ezek. 1.5-10).

*If future quotations are from the same edition of the Bible you’re using, list only the book, chapter, and verse in the parenthetical citation.

Works Cited Page

34

What is a Works Cited Page? A ______ of all of the __________ you _______ in your paper.

Why is it important to have a Works Cited Page?A Works Cited list gives the _________ about each ___________used in the paper. This allows a reader to _______ the ___________ source to check the _____________ of your facts or do further research.

Here are a few things to keep in mind about the Works Cited page: 1. The Works Cited page is the _______ page of your paper2. Works Cited should be typed and centered at the top of the page 3. _______________ list each source by the first word or name of the entry.

(This first word or name should be what you use in your parenthetical citation.)

4. This page is double-spaced. ____ ________ ________ go between entries. 4. The first line of each source is always aligned to the left. All _______ ________ in the entry are ___________ by hitting the “_____” button once. 5. Each source must follow the _______ __________ and include all available information.
