Integrating Evidence for Outline #1

Integrating Evidence for Outline #1

Yesterday, you completed the claims on your outline. Today, you will bring evidence from your Source Evidence Chart (submitted Tuesday) and prepare it for use in your body paragraph using a method of

LEAD IN - QUOTATION - CITATION

First, look over your evidence chart...

Which articles will be the most helpful to support your supporting claims and central claim?

What direct quotations can you use as evidence to prove your supporting claims.

You will need TWO quotations in each body paragraph, just like on your outline.

Got Your Quotations Chosen?

Now let's give them proper context...

• To use these quotations as evidence, you must provide the reader of your essay proper context to understand the quotations.

• You do this by providing a lead-in that establishes who the speaker is (both his/her name AND their qualifications).

WARNING:

The "SPEAKER" of the quotation is not always the author of the article. The author may be quoting someone or something else. Go back to the articles to give the proper context.

Let's take a quotation from our first article:

“Yes, kids should be going back to school in the fall” by Joseph G. Allen

Here's the quotation:

“Twenty percent of Boston high school students didn’t log into class in May, and only half of the elementary school children in Philadelphia made daily contact.”

How would the quote look with a proper lead in providing context about our speaker?

Joseph Allen, assistant professor and director of the Healthy Buildings Program at Harvard University stated, “Twenty percent of Boston high school students didn’t log into class in May, and only half of the elementary school children in Philadelphia made daily contact”

One more thing, you need a proper citation following the quotation.

Following the end of the quotation, put the last name of the author in parenthesis ( ) followed by the punctuation for the sentence. In this case, (Allen).

Joseph Allen, assistant professor and director of the Healthy Buildings Program at Harvard University stated, “Twenty percent of Boston high school students didn’t log into class in May, and only half of the elementary school children in Philadelphia made daily contact” (Allen).

Let's do one more...

Veronique Mintz, an eighth grade student that participated in distance learning in spring of 2020 explains that “Distance learning gives me more control of my studies. I can focus more time on subjects that require greater effort and study” (Mitz).
