Writing Tips:<\/div>\n
\u2022 Always write in the past tense!<\/div>\n
\u2022 Never use first or second person (\u201cyou\u201d \u201cwe\u201d \u201cI\u201d) \u2013there is no room in this paper for<\/div>\n
your opinion or your advice<\/div>\n
\u2022 Avoid contractions\u2026 (\u201cdo not\u201d is more professional than \u201cdon\u2019t\u201d!)<\/div>\n
\u2022 Know the difference between Quotes, Paraphrase and Summarizing<\/div>\n
\u2022 These three ways of incorporating other writers’ work into your own writing differ<\/div>\n
according to the closeness of your writing to the source writing.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Quotations must be identical to the original, using a narrow segment of the<\/div>\n
source. They must match the source document word for word and must be<\/div>\n
attributed to the original author.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source material into your own<\/div>\n
words. A paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source. Paraphrased<\/div>\n
material is usually shorter than the original passage, taking a somewhat broader<\/div>\n
segment of the source and condensing it slightly.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Summarizing involves putting the main idea(s) into your own words, including<\/div>\n
only the main point(s). Once again, it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas<\/div>\n
to the original source. Summaries are significantly shorter than the original and<\/div>\n
take a broad overview of the source material.<\/div>\n
When do I quote?<\/div>\n
\u2022 Provide support for claims or add credibility to your writing<\/div>\n
\u2022 Give examples of several points of view on a subject<\/div>\n
\u2022 Highlight a particularly striking phrase, sentence, or passage by quoting the<\/div>\n
original<\/div>\n
\u2022 Distance yourself from the original by quoting it in order to cue readers that the<\/div>\n
words are not your own<\/div>\n
When do I paraphrase?<\/div>\n
\u2022 Expand the breadth or depth of your writing<\/div>\n
\u2022 Paraphrase important supporting points that come up in the essay.<\/div>\n
When do I summarize?<\/div>\n
\u2022 Refer to work that leads up to the work you are now doing.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Research questions.<\/div>\n
Some questions help you with the writing process.<\/div>\n
For example:<\/div>\n
How did a certain event affect history?<\/div>\n
When did somebody do something that changed society?<\/div>\n
What really interests me that made some kind of impact in history?<\/div>\n
What factors needed to be put together to explain an event?HOW TO WRITE THE WORLD CULTURES RESEARCH PAPER<\/div>\n
