1. How to (Properly)Take Notes for Your Research Paper You will need a piece of notebook paper and something to write with in order to get credit for the work you do today

2. Purpose/Objective: By the end of class today you should be able to: – Revise your Concrete Details by effectively writing lead ins to introduce them

3. What types of notes (concrete details)can I take for my research paper? Summary Paraphrase Direct Quotation

4. Recap-Types of Notes (1) What are the three types of concrete details called that you can take for your research paper?

5. Let’s Pretend… You are writing a research paper about the three little pigs, and how leaving home early, with very little guidance from their parents, has left them scarred for life.

6. The Three Little Pigs As you listen to the following story, keep in mind that you will be writing concrete details and commentary after listening.

7. Reminder: Purpose The purpose of this activity is to use a familiar story to teach a more complex skill- note taking. You will learn the difference between a summary, paraphrase and a direct quotation. You will learn how to write lead ins for all of your direct quotations. You will learn how to effectively write commentary that critically analyzes a C.D. instead of just restating it.

8. What is a summary? A summary is when you put a sentence, several sentences or an article’s main point into your own words. It is usually one or two sentences long. You would use a summary to “sum up” a few sentences, a paragraph, or even an entire article especially if you were only using the text for that one idea.

9. Summary Examples: – Three pigs moved out of their mom’s house and through trial and error, figured out that building their house out of brick (as opposed to sticks and hay) was the most effective way to keep the Big Bad Wolf out (Author). – There were three little pigs who were told to go out into the world and build their own homes. The first two built theirs out of unstable materials (sticks and hay) while the third one chose brick, which prevented the Big Bad Wolf from blowing down his house (Author).

10. Re-Cap Summary #2- What is a summary and why/when is it used?

11. What a summary is not… “So he blew their house down and they ran away” (Author). “After that they were scared” (Author). Ralph Reinberg states, “they should have known better” (Author). The writer of this book said they built their houses (Author). A big study, really big, was done (Author).

12. What is a paraphrase? A paraphrase is similar to a summary, but it is usually longer and attempts to put the author’s words into your own words. You would usually choose to paraphrase something if there were a lot of good information in the text and you wanted to use most of it.

13. Paraphrase Original Text:Paraphrased Text: “Once upon a time there were three little pigs. These little pigs lived at home with their mother and father, until they had reached the age to go out into the world on their own. As they left home, each pig decided what material they would use to build their house,” There once lived three little pigs who shared a home with their parents. One day, they decided to leave home and go out into the world. Each pig had to decide what type of material he wanted to use to build his new home…

14. Re-cap (paraphrase) #3 What is a paraphrase and why/when is it used?

15. Direct Quotation A direct quotation is when you copy word for word (and you MUST use quotation marks) directly from the text. You would usually do this if the text contains numbers, statistics, difficult words/concepts, data, or something specific that you do not want to lose by putting it into your own words or summarizing it.

16. Re-cap Direct Quotation #4 What is a direct quotation and what MUST it have around it?

17. Direct Quotations- EVERY direct quotation MUST have a lead-in Direct Quotation Direct Quotation with a Lead-In “The first little pig decided to build his house of straw, because he thought, ‘Wow! I should build a house out of a material that will make everyone sneeze, cause bugs to crawl all around, and may cause passing cattle to stop and eat it’”(Author). The first little pig chose to build with straw because he knew that straw would “make everyone sneeze, cause bugs to crawl all around, and may cause passing cattle to stop and eat it” (Author). “The second little pig had his heart set on building with sticks. He thought it would be wise to choose a material that could be thrown at others if he became angry with them, as well as a material that could easily be manipulated to make cool forts and knock them over,” (Author). The second pig chose to build with sticks because “he thought it would be wise to choose a material that could be thrown at others if he became angry with them, as well as a material that could easily be manipulated to make cool forts and knock them over,” (Author).

18. Re-Cap Lead Ins #5- What is the purpose of a lead in?

19. More Practice with Lead Ins Direct Quotation Direct Quotation written with Lead-In (COPY) “The Big Bad Wolf went to the second little pig’s house and said, ‘Little Pig, Little Pig, let me in’ as he banged angrily on the door” (Author)! # 6- “When the pig refused to open the door for the Big Bad Wolf, the wolf huffed and he puffed, and he blew the house in” (Author). #7- “The first two little pigs, ran as fast as they could to their brother’s house. They knew he had built his house out of bricks. They knocked on his door wildly, begging him to open up before the wolf could eat them” (Author). #8-

20. Re-Cap Lead Ins #9- What is one effective way to write a lead in?

21. More Practice with Lead Ins Direct Quotation: Direct Quotation written with Lead-In (COPY on to YOUR notebook paper) “The pigs decided to call the ambulance because the wolf was no longer breathing. He had huffed and puffed, huffed and puffed, until he was completely out of breath, like a balloon with no air in it,” (Author). 10. “After the ambulance took the wolf away, the pigs sat down together to enjoy their peach cobbler, their pea soup and a hot cup of tea together. They lived happily ever after together in the brick house and were never bothered by the wolf again,” (Author) 11.

22. More Practice with Lead Ins Now- look at your own notes sheet from the lab. Revise your FIRST concrete detail effectively writing a lead-in to introduce it (this should be #12 on your notebook paper) Continue to revise your remaining concrete details as I walk around to assist others (this should be #13, and #14) If you do NOT have concrete details of your own to revise, or do not have 3 to revise, please practice with the following:

23. More Practice With Lead Ins (#12-#14) Original Text: #12 “With Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites becoming more and more popular, many people have shifted their way of thinking about personal privacy. Information that people would have never dreamed of sharing publicly thirty years ago, is now commonplace on one’s profile, for the whole world to see,” (Author). #13. “Teens often do not realize the implications of ‘oversharing’ on-line. They fail to fully comprehend that what they post today, in the heat of the moment, about a break up, will still be there five years down the road when potential employers are screening them” (Author). #14. “Many teens and adults falsely believe that by marking their profiles ‘private’ they are essentially safe to post anything without having to worry about future implications. However, what they naively believe, and what the reality is, are two very different things” (Author).

24. Final Re-Cap- Applying What You Have Learned #15 Knowing what you now know about note taking (the three types of concrete details- summaries, paraphrases and direct quotations) and writing lead ins (always needed before a direct quotation) how will you apply this information the next time we go to the lab to take notes from our sources? BE SPECIFIC and write in a complete sentence.
