Thursday, March 20

Target: to construct a body paragraph for your research paper, FRAMING, EMBEDDING and CITING evidence correctly.  (Thoughtful analysis would be nice, too.)

CAUSE AND EFFECT RUBRIC

Did you put your intro in my dropbox?  Do it ASAP. 

1. Study a sample paragraph as your model: http://goo.gl/gWq0DM

FRAME: Provide context to introduce your quote so that your reader can understand it better. 
EMBED: see format examples here: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/03/  Use those SIGNAL PHRASES from the handout I gave you. 
CITE: See the Purdue Owl for current MLA guidelines: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/02/


2. Write your body paragraph NOW. What evidence are you using?  Remember to keep your quotations short, calling my attention to the most vital parts of the evidence.
