Test 3- “I Confess”
paragraph
** Read the idea. Rephrase it, restate it in your own words.
OR
Quote a couple words, incorporating them into your sentence.
This is the basic idea of quoting from a text. We will practice it
a lot in class.
HW Write a few short
sentences that have quoted words or phrases from the story “Ice Storm”. We can
share them tomorrow.
Borrow 1,2,3,4 words. Borrow short phrases.
Don’t copy a whole sentence.
The quotation marks show two things.
1. The words were quoted, borrowed from
the text.
2. The words are evidence, proof that
your opinion is rooted in the story.
We can practice quoting from a text today.
“pounce”(v) – jump on to catch
The cat pounced on the mouse.
Incorporate the quotation into out own sentence.
e.g The boys were wondering if they should “pounce” on the birds.
The boys were originally planning to “pounce” on the pheasants,
but they changed their minds.
“sat helplessly”
e.g. The boys were looking at the birds as they “sat helplessly”
in the snow.
“the thin layer of ice splintering in flakes” TOO LONG
Choose a few words, a phrase
The boys and the birds were covered with a “thin layer of ice”.
KEY QUESTION: Why are using these words? Are they your words or
are you borrowing them?
e.g.
a
puffs “”
boys
pheasants- quote it the first, then use it
VOCAB
citation – showing where the borrowed words come from
plagiarism – copying someone else’s words and claiming that you
wrote them
-stealing
intellectual property
academic honesty- plagiarism, AI-generated writing, translation apps
Quoting is fun.
If you don’t like this kind of thing, academic studies might not
be for you.
Use other people’s words the right way- “ “ citation

I would like to my reading process for university classes.
READING PROCESS
*Have to read a story, novel, article. etc.
You have to read something at least twice to start to understand
it.
book, movie, songs, music
levels of understanding. deeper and deeper understanding
*First reading – relax in an armchair
- read for the basics: setting, plot, character, conflict
*Second reading- sit at a desk
- deeper ideas, deeper meanings: symbols, theme,
** look for words and phrases to quote “ “
**Make notes as you read.
I create the “Though Questions”
Other teachers will not do that.
Helpful study notes:
“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:
e.g.
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.
We will do more practice on Monday.
