The Details
Schedule of events:

1. [10 minutes] Attendance Check and Warm-up Question
Before we get started, like normal, I want to find out what you know.  Today is not much presentation of new information, but a compiling of all the things we have already learned.

Warm-up Question #1: When should you cite?
Warm-up Question #2: What does it mean to cite? What things do we include in a citation?

Helpful resource with all this information

2. [15 minutes] Paraphrasing Activity
Again, we are going to keep reviewing.  Last week you learned about quoting and the week before you learned about paraphrasing, let's see if you can do both well (without getting them confused!)

Step 1:
Using the source material below, in the link that matches your "Partnership" write one sentence that includes a quotation of the bolded material and one sentence that includes a paraphrase of the bolded material.  If you know (or think you know) anything about APA citation, try your best to incorporate that in your sentences.  Please label which sentence is which.

ORIGINAL SOURCE
In an effort to seek the causes of this disturbing trend, experts have pointed to a range of important potential contributors to the rise in childhood obesity that are unrelated to media: a reduction in physical education classes and after-school athletic programs, an increase in the availability of sodas and snacks in public school, the growth in the number of fast-food outlets across the country, the trend toward “super-sizing” food portions in restaurants, and the increasing number of highly processed high-calorie and high-fat grocery products.

Step 2:
Check one another's job.  How did they do? (Be nice! :) )

Step 3:
Reflect on these questions:
  • Do you think you or your partner have all that pieces you should have in a proper citation for either a quotation or a paraphrase? 
  • Do you and your partner have the same citation features and have you both incorporated it the same way?  If no, what differences are there?  
3. [10 minutes] Citation Rule-Learning 
So, now the question is, what are the right ways to go about doing these citations?

Good question!

I know that all of you are brilliant students who are so smart you left your country and came to the University of Illinois, so because of that, I'm not going to tell you at first.  I think that you can figure out what the rules are on your own.

All I am going to tell you now is this: There are two branches of citation, and we are only covering one of them today.

4. [10 minutes] Review and "Answers" Time
Were you able to figure the rules out?

If not, that's ok.  We are going to use these two slides to help us figure them out.




5. [5 minutes] Homework Review
Sometimes, at about this point in the semester, it gets a little bit more confusing to get a clear understanding of what is expected and due.  With that in mind, we are going to spend the last few minutes talking about our homework.

Homework: 
Begin brainstorming or drafting a process paragraph following this prompt. This paragraph will be due Friday, 3 October, by midnight.
