Quote, Summary, or Paraphrase Paragraph


Welcome students! Today, I am going to teach you about quotes, summary, and paraphrase paragraphs. Evidence is something that proves or supports a statement. You summarize evidence when it is at the end of a paragraph or paper. To summarize you restate your main points. You quote evidence when your evidence comes from a certain person or source. To use a quote you use quotation marks and you credit the source. You paraphrase evidence when putting them into your own words and you site down the source from where you got it from. To paraphrase you you break things out into your own words. To help you remember this, you should study what the words mean.

UnGoogleable Research Paper Website Selection Reflection

Today in class, I learned new techniques to help me expand and make my research easier. To search for websites, I used the timeline and the wonder wheel to help me go deep into my findings.When I found a website related to my focus question, I made sure that it was an appropriate website that has useful and reliable information. I looked at the author and the date that the website was published.I knew some of the websites I found were unacceptable because because it was yahoo answers or written by students.I know the websites I selected are good because they are from professors, websites like .org, or even doctors.Tomorrow, I expect that Ms. Priester will tell me to continue on my research and look for more information.

UnGoogleable Research – What I Already Know

My focus question is “How does having abortions emotionally impact men?”. I already know that men who have a girlfriend or wife who have an abortion go to therapy because they don't know how to express or let out there emotions about it.I also know that majority of men don't agree to having abortions and after having an abortion without consent withdraw out of their relationship.Additionally, men do grieve following abortion, but they are more likely to deny their grief or internalize their feelings of loss rather than openly express them.By doing research, I hope to learn the many emotional effects that men have afetr their spout has and abortion and what kind of help that they recieve to help cure them.

UnGoogleable Research Paper – Website Evaluation Tips

When I asked Dakota, "How can you tell if a website is a good resource for writing a research paper?", he said," it should give you enough information and also the website should be able to go beyond what you are expecting for but not to much." Derick had said, " If I am writing a research paper i need to feel that it has a lot of creditability. So I want one that has a lot of articles that have been published by a doctor or a university or someone who I think could be an expert on." My house parent Jessica said," that the website should have decent information and should not be hard to find answers that you need. The website should have good information that has evidence to back up it's statement."
