MOST IMPORTANT FOR US

1.    borrowing words from a story , putting them into your paragraph,

essay

Borrow words from a text. Incorporate the words into our writing. Include the words in our sentence.

 

For example.

Definition writing on Peking duck

 

Wikipedia- look up

 

PLAGIARIZED  plagiaris

Peking duck is a dish from Beijing (Peking)[1] that has been prepared since the Imperial era. The meat is characterized by its thin, crispy skin, with authentic versions of the dish serving mostly the skin and little meat, sliced in front of the diners by the cook. Ducks bred especially for the dish are slaughtered after 65 days and seasoned before being roasted in a closed or hung oven. The meat is often eaten with spring onioncucumber and sweet bean sauce with pancakes rolled around the fillings. Sometimes pickled radish is also inside. Crispy aromatic duck is a similar dish to Peking duck and is popular in the United Kingdom.

All plagiarized – copied without permission, without showing the source

 

 

“thin, crispy skin” – incorporate a short quotation into my sentence

Peking duck is well-known for its tasty flavours and “thin, crispy skin”

(Wikipedia.com). It is a very popular dish in China.

 

“Ducks bred especially for the dish are slaughtered after 65 days and seasoned before being roasted in a closed or hung oven.”

NO GOOD, TOO LONG, NOT INCORPORATED INTO YOUR WRITING

 

Quote only a few words at a time- 1,2,3,4 words

 

citation – showing where the borrowed words come from

 

Plagiarism – copying someone else’s words and claiming that you wrote them

          -stealing intellectual property

 

Often easy to detect.

 

 

Use other people’s words the right way- “ “ citation

 

 

“Roses Sing on New Snow”

fat and lazy

Maylin did all of work in the kitchen because her brothers were too “fat and lazy”(1) to help.

 

lonely and cold and bone-tired

Maylin was very happy to cook delicious food for the customers; she know that they were “lonely and cold and bone-tired.”(1) Her food would cheer them up.

 

 

How to Prepare to use Quotations in School Writing:

Second reading of the story:

1 Read the story/text.

2 Underline good words and phrases that you may want to use as quotations.

3 When you write your paragraph or essay, you can sprinkle in quoted words and phrases.

sprinkle – a little bit

 

QUESTION: When should I quote a word?

MY ANSWER: Why am I using this word? Is it a word that I use on my own, or am I borrowing it from the story? You have to make a judgement call.

 

wonderful creation ?

restaurant ?

 

·      Talk about plagiarism – copying from a text without using “ ”

·      Incorporate quoted material into our sentences.

·      Not copying sentences

·      borrow/quote just 1-2 words, 2-3 words, 3-4 words

·      no long quotations, long quotations are no good for short answers

EF5 paragraph – 125-150ww

EF6,EF7, Eng10, Eng11  -150-200ww

- a few 3,4,5 short quotations (2-4, 3-4 words each)

If we use long quotations in a short paragraph, then half of the writing is just quotations.

 

If you are writing a 10-page paper, you can use longer quotations.

For this class, Eng10,11,12 – stick to several short quotations

 

*** This is a skill that must be practiced and perfected

 

EXAMPLE

Choose a short 2,3,4-word section from “I Confess” “Roses Sing on New Snow”

Incorporate a short quotation into your own sentence.

 

e.g.

RAW QUOTATION THAT I WANT TO WORK WITH

“I had set myself strict standards”(1)

Choose important word or words or a phrase.

“strict standards”

 

 Mr. Wei was very tough on Wang Wei because he wanted to hold the student to the “strict standards”(1) that he had set.

 

“identical ingredients”

Incorporate the key words or phase into my own sentence.

 

“identical ingredients”

When Maylin and the governor cooked together, they used

“identical ingredients”; nevertheless, the end results came out

different.

 

GOAL: INCORPORATING A SHORT QUOTATION INTO YOUR

WRITING

 

HOMEWORK

Try a few sentences with quoted text. Email some to me, and we can share them tomorrow.
