5 Claims After having the chance to look at some sources and information in your packet, you need to identify whether you are going to argue the case had a negative or a positive impact on teens today. You need to create two sub-claims to support whether or not the ruling impacts teens lives in a positive or negative way. Thesis Sentence Stem Options: A. Due to the ruling of, young people s lives today are positively/negatively impacted because B. The ruling of negatively/positively impacts minor s lives today because... Sub-claim #1: Sub-claim #2: WRITE YOUR OWN THESIS STATEMENT: 5

7 MLA In-Text Citations In-text citations are necessary for an MLA style research paper. After you have paraphrased or quoted information from a source, you must use a parenthetical citation at the end of the sentence, right before the period. If you provide the information for an electronic source within the sentence, you do not need the parenthetical citation. They look like this: Antonio Banderas proved to be more than just another good actor when he was awarded the European Contribution to World Cinema by the European Film Academy (Allison 55). The only woman who was officially a veteran of the Union Army was Sara Emma Edmonds. She had to disguise herself as a man in order to enlist (Harness). After serving her country in numerous ways, Emma wrote her memoirs titled Nurse and Spy in the Union Army, which became a very popular book selling thousands of copies ( Sara Emma Edmonds ( ) ). IMPORTANT TO NOTE: *If there is no author, use the title of the article or the website (the very first part of the citation on your works cited page). 7 *If you mention the author s name in your sentence, you don t have to put it in the parentheses; use just the page number. *You CANNOT have a citation in the middle of a sentence. *If you do not cite your information in the text, you are PLAGARIZING. *If you have a few sentences that all come from the same source, it is okay to use one intext citation at the end (the last sentence). *Do NOT end a paragraph with a citation. Add a concluding/summary sentence. Integrating information into your paper You may choose to reword the information you find or you may take direct quotes from your sources; either way, you must cite the source where you found the information. If you choose to use direct quotes, you must blend the quotes into your writing. A quote should not stand alone in your paper. Standing Alone (wrong!) Edgar Allan Poe changed the course of literature. He is widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern detective story ( Poe s Life ). Blended (much better!): Edgar Allan Poe changed the course of literature as he is widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern detective story ( Poe s Life ).
8 Levels of Quote Usage (You want level 3!!) Level #1: The amateur quote (The quote bomb, or the floating quote ) Examples: The court said it was okay to try kids as adults. Juveniles suspected of serious crimes (Kent vs. United States 543). The court ruled that the Juvenile Court could give the case to district court. That Court had before it sufficient evidence to make an informed judgment (Kent vs. United States 543). The relationship between the sentences isn't clear, and we're forcing the reader to assume too much. Huh? What s the connection?? Examples: Level #2: Okay sometimes, but not great (The Git-r-done quote) The court said it was okay to try kids as adults. We can see this when Justice Fortas writes that "juveniles suspected of serious offenses" can be moved from Juvenile Court (Kent vs. United States 543). Justice Fortas also writes that the Juvenile Court was okay giving the case to the District Court. He expresses this when he writes, that Court had before it sufficient evidence to make an informed judgment (Kent vs. United States 543). This gets the job done and might be okay sometimes, but not very often. It's like waving a big sign around to the reader or listening audience that says, "Hey, there's going to be a quote right here!" Duh! Examples: Level #3: The expert (Smooth quote) Justice Fortas determined that a juvenile suspected of serious offenses could be tried as an adult under certain circumstances (Kent vs. United States 543). Later in his opinion, Justice Fortas expressed that the Juvenile Court originally had sufficient evidence to make an informed judgment, so it was okay that they had sealed Kent s juvenile record (560). This expert-level quote presents us with evidence and context without making the reader work too hard. Test: Cover up the quotation marks with your fingers. If the sentence reads like a regular sentence, no flags or markers setting it off, then it worked. Smooth 8
9 Verbs Used in MLA Style Signal Phrases (adapted from Diana Hacker s Rules for Writers 5th ed., p. 408) MLA style signal phrases consist of the name and qualification of your source followed by a verb which reflects his or her tone, attitude and position: Shawn Bascom, International Student Coordinator, claims that... ; Dr. Hatzenbuehler, history professor at ISU, points out that... ; As President Arthor Vailas notes,... ; Governor Schwartzenegger fears that... Signal phrases introduce paraphrases, summaries and direct quotations; here are some examples of verbs you can use in your signal phrases: acknowledges adds admits affirms agrees answers argues asks asserts attacks believes calls claims comments compares concedes confirms contends counters counterattacks declares defines denies disputes echoes emphasizes endorses estimates finds grants illustrates implies insinuates insists labels mentions notes observes points out predicts proposes reasons recognizes recommends refutes rejects reports responds retorts reveals says speculates states suggests surmises tells thinks warns writes 9

28 Using the Persuasive Appeals Student Resource Purpose and Audience When crafting an argument, you must first consider your purpose and your audience. In other words, you must answer these questions: What group of people are you specifically addressing? What effect do you want to have on the audience? Based on the answers to these two questions, you will then prepare your argument in a way that best appeals to your target audience and convinces them to take whatever action you deem appropriate. Effective speakers and writers make use of three types of rhetorical appeals, or persuasive strategies, to support their claims and to respond to opposing arguments. These appeals, identified by the Greek philosopher Aristotle, are often referred to by the Greek words associated with them. Logical appeals (logos): The speaker or writer appeals to the audience s logic by constructing a well-reasoned argument. Some methods of creating a logical appeal include facts statistics research references to experts cause and effect Emotional appeals (pathos): The speaker or writer appeals to the audience s emotions. An emotional appeal evokes anger, laughter, sadness, fear, joy, pride, etc. in the reader or listener. Some methods of creating emotional appeals include connotative diction carefully-crafted syntax personal anecdotes Ethical appeals (ethos): The speaker or writer appeals to the audience s trust by establishing his credibility or trustworthiness as a writer or speaker. Some methods of creating an ethical appeal include stating qualifications for expertise using first person pronouns citing relevant authorities and allusions 1 English Using the Persuasive Appeals Creating Appeals While we often speak of the three types of appeals logos, pathos, and ethos as if they are separate and distinct from one another, it is actually very difficult to separate one from the others. An appeal is not a concrete device one that you can point to in the text. Instead, writers and speakers use various techniques, devices, or strategies to create appeals, and even those techniques, devices, and strategies do not fit neatly into categories. For example, a writer or speaker might use a particular word to indicate his specialized knowledge of a subject and thereby create an ethical appeal, but he might use another highlyconnotative word to create emotional appeal.
