1. Welcome to Seminar 5 We’ll begin on time. Meanwhile, have fun chatting. The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems. Mahatma Gandhi

2. It’s SHOWTIME !!!!!!!!

3. The Road of Trials As the hero continues on the journey, he/she is faced with many obstacles. Campbell (2008) tells us, “The original departure into the land of trials represented only the beginning of the long and really perilous path” (p. 90). While supernatural aid is helpful, only the hero can complete the journey. The hero finds that “our conscious views of what life ought to be seldom correspond to what life really is” (Campbell, 2008, p. 101).

4. The Road of Trials (continued) In many ways, the hero’s journey reflects the growth from child to adult, where the child comes to terms with outside expectations and the world of good and evil. The hero discovers the “interdependence of the inner and outer worlds” (Campbell, 2008, p. 139), realizing that his thinking produces results and that he can change the world.

5. Unit 5 Work Seminar Readings Journal Discussion No Project Grammar Review

6. Journal Last week, you visited the KU Library and searched for information on writing in your career field, and this week you searched the internet for sources that might be helpful in your upcoming Unit 6 Project. Reflect on this experience. What have you learned about the research process and what else do you need to know about that process? Why do you think sources are both valuable and dangerous?

7. Grammar Review In this unit, you will review Writing Center information that will help you with two of the most important building blocks of the sentence, the subject and verb. The material you review will help make sure that your sentence subjects and verbs agree with each other and will help ensure that your verbs are in the appropriate tense (past, present, future).

8. Unit 5 Discussion: Before Posting Part I: For this part of the Discussion, review the instructions for the Final Project, due the end of Unit 9. Brainstorm a list of possible topics for your Final Project. Select a problem associated with your field of study. Topic suggestions have been provided for you in the Unit 5 Overview announcement in the center of the course home page.

9. Unit 5 Discussion: Before Posting Part II: Locate a reliable internet source for the Final Project. Read the selected source. Save the following information: –Author’s name: –Publication date: –Title of Article: –Name of Magazine or Journal: –Volume #: –Issue #: –The magazine page you found information on: –The name of the database:

10. Unit 5 Discussion: Posting Part I: Answer these questions: –What do you think your Final Project might focus on? –What topic do you think you will choose? –Who will be your audience? –What is the purpose of the project (other than to get an A! LOL)? –How will the choice of this particular audience affect how you write your essay?

11. Unit 5 Discussion: Posting Part II: Answer these questions: –Explain why you chose this source. –Why do you think it is reliable? –How might the source help you to you write your final project? –Provide an APA formatted reference for your source. –Provide an in text citation for the source. –Discuss at least one strategy you will use for avoiding plagiarism in your writing.

12. Discussion In Text Citations: (Author’s last name, year, para. #) OR If there isn’t any author: (“Title of Article,” year, para. #)

13. Discussion: Internet References Author’s last name, first initial. (date). Title of the article. Name of Web Site. Retrieved from the complete web address of the article that you read. OR if there is no author listed Title of article. (date). Name of Web Site. Retrieved from the complete web address of the article that you read.

14. Review: What is the in text citation for the quote below? Quote: “Many famous people throughout history have shown symptoms of ADHD but still achieved greatness.” Author: Eileen Bailey Date: 2012 Article: “Celebrities With ADHD” Web Site: Health Central Paragraph: 1 Web Address: http://www.healthcentral.com/adhd/understandin g-adhd-161681-5.html

15. Answer “Many famous people throughout history have shown symptoms of ADHD but still achieved greatness” (Bailey, 2012, para. 1).

16. What is the in text citation for the quote below? “Did you know that one of the most famous people with ADD was Albert Einstein?” Author: None Date: 2012 Title of Article: “Famous People With ADHD and ADD” Name of Web Site: ADD/ADHD Treatments Web Address: http://www.add-adhd- treatments.com/Famous-People.html Paragraph: 3

17. Answers “Did you know that one of the most famous people with ADD was Albert Einstein?” (“Famous People With ADHD and ADD,” 2012, para. 3). Or (“Famous People,” 2012, para. 3). Besides using an in text citation, where else must all quotes be documented?

18. Matching The in text citations and the references page should match. If you use an in text citation, be sure to put the same source on the references page. If you list a source on the references page, be sure you also cite that source in the text. It’s easy to get confused.

19. How to Avoid Forgetting to Sources One of the ways I avoid problems is by doing my reference page at the same time as I am writing my paper. Every time I use information from a source, I immediately put in the in text citation (author’s last name, date, p. or para.) and then scroll down and put the reference on my Reference Page. This assures that I will not forget to include all references.

20. Advanced In Text Citation Format Using the author’s name as part of the sentence itself is preferred. –Campbell (2008) tells us we are not on the adventure alone because “heroes of all time have gone before us” (p. 18). The same holds true if there is no author. –According to the article, “Old City, New Life” (2010), “ Old San Juan is a city steeped in history ” (p. 17).

21. Examples of Advanced In Text Citations Mike Dooley (2010), author and motivational speaker, tells his readers that “ thoughts become things ” (para. 1). According to Viktor E. Frankl (1984), psychiatrist and concentration camp survivor, “Every age has its own collective neurosis” (p. 131). The article, “Slice of Life” (2010), featured in the December issue of Caribbean Travel + Life, reminds travelers that “The Tortuga rum cake is one of the Caribbean’s most popular souvenirs” (p. 20).

22. What is the in Text Citation? Bilton, N. (2012, February 22). Behind the Google goggles, virtual reality. The New York Times. Retrieved from http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/23/ technology/google-glasses-will-be- powered-by-android.html?_r=1 “The glasses …will be more like smart phones” – from para. 4

23. Answers “The glasses …will be more like smart phones” (Bilton, 2012, para. 4) OR According to Nick Bilton (2012), “The glasses …will be more like smart phones” (para. 4).

24. Digital Object Identifier (DOI) Because information on the Internet is often moved, removed, or changed, scholarly articles are now beginning to receive a digital number by which they can be tracked, the digital object identifier. This number takes the place of the retrieval information that was used prior to this because the articles that have DOI numbers have their own routing system, one that should take readers to the article no matter where they have been placed on the Internet, even if they have been moved.

25. Using the DOI If the article has a DOI, you do not need the retrieval information. All doi’s begin with the number 10, contain a prefix and suffix separated by a slash. Sample: doi:10.1037/0278-6133.24.2.225 Reference Format: Author’s last name, first initial. (date). Title of article. Name of Magazine, volume, page. doi: 10.xxxx/xxxx-xxxx.xx.x.xxx

26. In what order should the items on a references page be listed?

27. Alphabetical Order by First Word Items on the references page must be in alphabetical order. Always begin with the author’s last name. If no author has been listed, begin with the title of the article (You read something!). Never begin using a web address or annonymous.

28. AUDIENCE AND CONTEXT Everything is written to someone for some purpose. The email you send to your sister should be written differently than a proposal you send to a business client. Knowing the audience, purpose, and the context is vitally important to good writing. Ask yourself: –Why am I writing this? –Who is my reader? –What am I trying to say?

29. What is Standard American English? What are the benefits to learning Standard American English?

30. Standard American English Standard American English is the common language, spelling, grammar, and punctuation used in the United States. –Its use is expected in higher education and the workplace. When you use Standard American English, –People can understand you no matter what part of the county they come from. –You present yourself as being an educated person. –You show respect for the reader –You show a desire to be someone the reader can relate to.

31. When should you use Standard American English?

32. When You Should Use Standard American English You should use Standard American English most of the time if not all the time. You want to get into the habit of using it. When speaking or writing to your friends or family, you are free to use dialect, slang, or any type of English (or other language) that you desire. However, in the "real world," the world of work, school, and careers, there are different expectations.

33. Which are the correct answers? Each of the students (have, has) (their, his or her) own locker.

34. The Correct Answers Each of the students HAS HIS OR HER own locker.

35. Each of the students has his or her own locker. Each = subject –Each is singular. Think: “each one”! Of the students = prepositional phrase (not the subject) Since the subject is singular (each one), the verb must also be singular: each one has. The pronoun is referring to the subject (each one), which is singular, so we need a singular pronoun. “Their” is plural. –Since we do not know the gender of that student, we use his or her.

36. Common Writing Errors: Subject/Verb Agreement & Pronoun/Referent Agreement Subjects must “agree” or match their verbs in number (how many are we talking about?). Pronouns must also match the words that they refer to. Again, how many are we talking about?

37. Areas of Confusion Prepositional Phrases: –preposition + object (noun) Prepositions: –To, in, on, over, under, around, through, for, by, of, at, with, of, out, up, etc. The subject is not in the prepositional phrase –To the beach, of the people, around the house, under the bed One of the people – subject = one

38. More Areas of Confusion Singular Indefinite Pronouns Singular Indefinite Pronouns are always singular. Examples: –Anybodyeverybodynobody –Anyoneeveryonenothing –Anythingeverythingplenty –Each much somebody –Either one someone Since they are singular, they require singular verbs: –Everyone IS here. Nobody WAS late. Everything IS fine.

39. Common Writing Errors: Pronoun Agreement The word to which a pronoun refers is called its antecedent. The pronoun must match or agree with its antecedent in number. Number simply means singular or plural. The boy played with his bike. –“ His” refers to “boy.” Both “boy” and “his” are singular, so they agree in number. The boys played with their bikes. –“Their” refers to “boys.” Both are plural, so they agree.

40. Common Problems with Pronoun Agreement 1. Singular Indefinite Pronouns are always singular.  Anothereverybodynobody  Anybodyeveryonenothing  Anyoneeverythingsomebody  Each someone one Incorrect: Each of the students has their own locker.  Each (one) = 1 person  Their = 2 or more people Correct: Each of the student has his or her own locker.  Each (one) = 1 person  His or her = 1 person

41. Pronoun Agreement (continued) 2. Singular noun – plural pronoun Incorrect: If a person wants to graduate from college, they must have good study habits.  A person = 1 person  They = 2 or more people Correct: If a person wants to graduate from college, he or she must have good study habits. Correct: If students want to graduate from college, they must have good study habits.
