Definition writing on Peking duck
Wikipedia- look up
Copied from Wikipedia
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 onion, cucumber 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.

“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 and worldwide.
KEY QUESTION: Why are using these words? Are they your words or
are you borrowing them?
Choice: quote or rephrase.
“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
The birds are “roasted in a closed or hung oven” until they are done.
HIGHER LEVEL The birds are “roasted in a[n] … oven” (Wikipedia) until
they are done.
… ellipsis
[ ] square brackets- used to fix the grammar if you need to
…… NOT ENGLISH
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
READING PROCESS
“What Happened During the Ice Storm”
-First reading – armchair- basics, plot, setting, character,conflict
-Second reading- desk- deeper ideas, symbol, deeper meaning,
theme, words and phrases to quote “ “
“freezing rain”(1)
The boys went out into the “freezing rain”(1) to find the
pheasants.
“quick little white puffs”(1)
The birds’ and the boys’ breath was visible because it was so
cold; in the air were “quick little white puffs”(1) coming from their mouths.
Fantastic quoting!!
The teacher will love it!!
University level:
If you are quoting from multiple books:
The economy of Zimbabwe is based on “extraction of resources”(Williams,
235) which are non-renewable.
End of the paper- list of sources
Find some 1-4 word phrases that you can quote. Look for interesting
words and phrases. Some word and phrases will kind of jump out as seeming
important.
Dead Man’s Path
“his passion”(1)
Nancy was attracted to her husband for “his passion”(1) about
teaching more than his physical appearance.
Let’s practice.
Take out “Confess” or “Path”. Skim over it. Find a few words and phrases
that you like. Write some sentences that incorporate those.
Work together. Help each other.
“The school had shown great faith in me”
The people who ran the school had ”shown great faith”(1) in Mr Wei.
Mr Obi and the priest were both “stoop-shouldered”(1); this is a
physical similarity which throws into relief their differences in personality.
Both Mr. Obi and the priest walked with a “stoop”(1); however, Mr.
Obi looked “frail” whereas the priest seemed to be physically strong, especially
when he hit his stick on the ground.
We can practice some more tomorrow.
Next test- next week – “ “

Talk about Raven
-
prominent role in the mythologies of the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific
Northwest Coast, including the Tsimishians, Haidas, Heiltsuks, Tlingits,
Kwakwaka'wakw, Coast Salish, Koyukons, and Inuit. The raven in these indigenous
peoples' mythology is the Creator of the world, but it is also considered a
trickster god.
-two
different raven characters:
-the creator raven, responsible for bringing the world into being
and who is sometimes considered to be the individual who brought light to the
darkness
-the
childish raven, always selfish, sly, conniving, and hungry
The Beginning of the Haida Gwaii World
In the beginning,
before the creation of the world, the earth was completely covered by a vast
ocean and the sky was all grey clouds. The cloud kingdom was ruled by the great
Sha-lana. Sha-lana's Chief servant was Raven.
One day Raven enraged his master and was cast
out into the ocean world. He flew over the ocean for a long period of time
until he became weary. Unable to find a place to rest, Raven became angry. He
began to beat his wings upon the water until the water rose up and touched the
clouds around him.
When the water receded back into the ocean there
appeared rocks upon which Raven rested. These rocks grew and stretched across
the ocean. The rocks turned into sand and after a short period of time trees
began to grow on the sand. After many moons the sand had turned into beautiful
islands, which we know today as the Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands).
Raven enjoyed his kingdom, yet he became bored
and lonely. He decided he needed someone to help him. So one day he gathered
two large piles of clam shells upon the beach and transformed them into two
human females. These two women complained saying that they should not have both
been created as women. So to make them happy Raven threw limpet shells at one
and turned her into a man, creating the Haida Gwaii people."
