To Do Before Class:
READ AND ANNOTATE: Graff & Birkenstein, “Chapter 3: As He Himself Puts It – The Art of Quoting”
WRITE: Your second “Source Entry” Draft (incorporating quotations). Try to include all five steps of the IQIAA method for at least one quotation.
Review the report templates on www.canva.com and select a couple that you like.
Class Topic:
Reviewing Quotations + Drafting Conclusions
In-Class Activities:
Use this handout to work on conclusions.
To Do After Class:
WRITE: Final Source entry
WRITE: Conclusion (at least 400 words). For your conclusion:
- You will summarize what you found in your research.
- You will tell readers what surprised you, or how your understanding of your question deepened or changed. (Spoiler: if the answer is “not at all,” you did not do enough research.)
- You will explain why what you learned is important.
You will explain who you think needs to know about it and why (Another spoiler: be specific! The answer can not be “everyone.” That is too big of an audience. Narrow it down to who needs to hear about it first!)
