Day 12

Quoting, Summarizing, Paraphrasing

https://writingcenter.ashford.edu/quoting-paraphrasing-summarizing

General rules for good quoting:

1. Make sure it is worth the space
1. Is it insightful?
2. Is it worded carefully and originally?
3. Does the quote impact your argument?
2. No Cherry Picking!
1. If it does not relate to any of the previous questions, then it will seem odd, out of place, and a waste of space.
3. Cite your quote properly.
4. Include information that will allow the reader to understand it best or information to increase credibility.
1. Add where your source is from, if it will help
1. According to Tom Smith, leading spokesperson for 
2. Grace Memorial, the hospital with the most advanced support for...
5. EXPLAIN YOUR QUOTE
1. Quotes cannot be an elephant paratrooper--dropped in from nowhere only to be ignored.  You must explain why this quote is significant to your argument.  This is similar to (and often is) the explanation in your paragraph.  How does this quote support your overall thesis.

1. Find a quote for a thesis that supports Jim/Fact checker's POV
2. Find a quote for a thesis that supports John's/Writer's POV
3. Find a quote that shows how juvenile one or both are and frame it in a way that shows how comments like that minimalism the importance of the argument.  
4. Summarize a section
5. Paraphrase a section

In the Lifespan of a Fact, a fact checker and a writer argue about the importance of facts.  Facts should not be changed and should be presented as honestly as possible.

Facts can be changed in order to get at the Truth of an issue or to make it so the reader has a more real experience.

Both Jim and John were so immature in their argument that they undermined the importance of the debate.
