Example Claims – Compare to Your Returned Claim & Copy in Notebook  1) In Shakespeare’s Othello, Iago is cold-hearted and selfish because he manipulates others for his own motives and does not care about how others feel.  2) In the play Othello, by William Shakespeare, Roderigo is very naïve to follow Iago because he is blinded by his love for Desdemona and he follows Iago despite his suspicions that Iago is using Roderigo’s money.

Notes: Introducing Quoted Evidence (Highlight/Underline the red on your paper.)  Tag Lines: Begin a quotation from the text with an introductory or transitional phrase.  According to Shakespeare, “….  Mrs. Flowers says, “….  Later in the poem, the speaker claims “….  Initially, the author shows “….  Another example is when “….  Or just incorporate the quotation into the sentence.  The townspeople admired Richard Cory because “he was rich—yes, richer than a king” (Robinson 9).  Romeo loves Juliet because she is “a winged messenger of heaven” (Shakespeare ).

Notes: Quoting Evidence (Punctuation) (Highlight/Underline the red on your paper.)  Quotation Marks: When you rewrite what the author wrote word-for- word, all of that textual evidence must go in quotation marks.  Example: In “Incident in a Rose Garden,” Death tells the master, “I only meant to ask him/To show me to his master” (Justice 47-48).  Example: Marguerite comments that Mrs. Flowers had remained throughout her life “the measure of what a human being can be” (Angelou 1).  Periods:  If the quotation ends with a period, move the period outside of the quotations AND put it AFTER the citation.  If the quotation ends with a question mark or exclamation point, then put it in the quotation marks. In addition, put a period after the citation in parentheses.

Notes: Citing Evidence (Highlight/Underline the red on your paper.)  All citations go in parentheses after the quotation but before the period.  Citation for a Novel:  (author’s last name page number)  (Twain 63)  Citation for a Shakespeare Play:  (author’s last name act#.scene#.line#’s)  (Shakespeare )

Example of Formative #2 (by Miss G) In Shakespeare’s Othello, Desdemona’s love for Othello is true love because she cares for his struggles and gives him greater importance in her life than anyone else. Desdemona is emotionally moved by the slavery, travels, and battles that Othello endures because Othello tells all that “I loved her that she did pity them [his struggles]” (Shakespeare ). Later, Desdemona tells her father that she now owes a greater duty to Othello than to Brabantio when she states, “I am hitherto your daughter. But here’s my husband. And so much duty as my mother showed to you, preferring you before her father, so much I challenge that I may profess due to the Moor my lord” (Shakespeare ).

Formative #2 (15 minutes)  Look back at your charts for Othello and your packet for your novel.  Choose ONE text, and then choose one character from that text.  On your half sheet of paper, write a one sentence claim about the type of person that character is.  Include the title and author.  Include a specific and debatable idea.  Include 2 reasons to support the claim.  Then, find 2 pieces of textual evidence from the play or novel to support your claim. The first evidence should support reason #1, and the second evidence should support reason #2.  Be sure to QUOTE your evidence word-for-word (instead of paraphrasing).  Also, be sure to correctly cite each piece of evidence.
