Today in class we went over the "They Say/I Say" in practice handout which is an examination of the article, "Creating and Comparing Myth in Twentieth-Century Science Fiction..." In this handout tips and examples are given on how to properly state a thesis, summarize, paraphrase, and quote in your annotation. Key words such as
indeed and
describes, and words similiar to these should be used carefully because they offer a Rhetorical "yes" or definition of what may be going on within that statement/paragraph of your paper. An antecdote was given toward the end of the handout to problemize the conclusion that goes back to the white myth of Western Culture. Giving the author more support for his argument which concludes that cultural myth and Star Trek are both revised.
Homework: Continue to work on Annotated Bibliography (
IT'S DUE a WEEK from TODAY!!!)
- 300 word INTRO
- 8-10 annotations
Each annotation should have: 1. Quotations, summary, paraphrase of some material pertinent to your thesis, 2. Rhetorical Analysis, and 3. How you will use source material in your argument.
Review Strategies for Organizing on Pgs. 14-16 in the JAC to help you alternate prominence from they say to you say arguments. *Avoid the Writers Guide Activity on the following page, it is not valid to what we've discussed in class.
To anyone who missed class...I hope this helps.
