AN INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH<\/h3>\n
Your essay should include a full introductory paragraph. As explained in the slideshow Writing an Effective Introduction (in Module 2), an effective introductory paragraph should…<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Evoke readers’ interest (<\/span>making the closed research theme reading and your response to it relevant and provocative to your readers).<\/span><\/li>\n
- Describe the topic <\/span><\/em><\/span>(using a “They Say” move to identify the reading’s title, author, purpose, and other rhetorical features of the text, as needed).<\/span><\/li>\n
- Present a thesis statement (briefly communicating what your \u201cI Say\u201d in response to the closed research theme reading, possibly using a template for responding found in Chapter 4 of <\/span>“<\/em>They Say \/ I Say”<\/em>).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A SUMMARY OF THE CLOSED RESEARCH THEME READING<\/h3>\n
Your essay should fully summarize the closed research theme reading you chose, beginning by communicating the overall main idea of the reading and highlighting key points and details that are especially relevant to understanding the author\u2019s message and your response to it.<\/span><\/p>\nIn general, an effective summary will…<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Begin with a \u201cThey Say\u201d move to communicate the overall main idea of the reading, possibly using a template for summarizing in found Chapter 2 of <\/span>“<\/em>They Say \/ I Say”<\/em>.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Regularly use \u201cThey Say\u201d moves and signal verbs (see Chapters 1-3 of <\/span>“<\/em>They Say \/ I Say”<\/em>) to summarize and sometimes quote key ideas and information from the reading.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Be objective and fair to the ideas and views of the author.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Be primarily written in 3rd<\/sup> <\/span>person point of view.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Avoid including your own opinions.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Be limited to less than a page double-spaced.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A RESPONSE TO THE CLOSED RESEARCH THEME READING<\/h3>\n
In your essay, the response is your opportunity to offer your \u201cI Say\u201d in response to, or in conversation with, the closed research theme reading. In your essay, you should respond to the closed research theme reading you selected, making an argument in favor of your view or ideas about the views and ideas expressed by the reading\u2019s author.<\/span><\/p>\n“They Say \/ I Say”<\/em>, Chapter 4, explains three basic ways you can respond to a text:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Disagree and explain why<\/span><\/li>\n
- Agree, but with a difference<\/span><\/li>\n
- Agree and disagree simultaneously<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You may take any of these approaches to respond to the closed research theme and you may use any of the templates for responding found in Chapter 4 of <\/span>“<\/em>They Say \/ I Say”<\/em> <\/span>to help you communicate your views and ideas as a response to the reading.<\/span><\/p>\nIn general, an effective response will…<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Articulate your \u201cI Say\u201d about the reading, possibly beginning with a template for responding in found Chapter 4 of <\/span>“<\/em>They Say \/ I Say”.<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
- Contain evidence and reasoning to back up your view. This evidence and reasoning may be in the form \u201cI Say\u201d explanations of your own your personal experience, perspectives, and observations, \u201cThey Say\u201d summaries and\/or quotations of details from the closed research theme reading, and\/or \u201cThey Say\u201d summaries or quotations of details from another outside source (additional sources, beyond the closed research theme reading, are not required but may be used).<\/span><\/li>\n
- May use 1st person point of view (pronouns such as I, me, my, mine).<\/span><\/li>\n
- Should be the largest part of your draft (a page or more, double-spaced).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH<\/h3>\n
A conclusion should briefly recap your response, offer final thoughts, and\/or wrap up your essay in a way that is thought-provoking to readers.<\/span><\/p>\nCITATION AND DOCUMENTATION<\/h3>\n
Your drafts should be formatted and documented based on either APA or MLA style, as specified by your instructor. Use in-text citations to cite \u201cThey Say\u201d summaries and quotations from the closed research theme reading, as well as summaries or quotations from any other outside sources you use, if you use any. Lastly, provide a list of sources, based on your citation style. Your list of sources will definitely list ONE source–the closed research theme reading you chose. Other sources are not expected or required, but if you use any additional sources, you should list those as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
