Our next set of practices include supporting and counter- claiming quotes. Keep each practice organized on your own sheet of paper. Yes, I will collect it. CITATION SANDWICHES
APA Practices #1 In support This week we will learn how to use direct quotes for supporting an argument and to counterclaim an argument. Copy and finish below onto your own sheet of paper. One key aspect of social media is the immediate connection to others. Jessi Hempel (2013) asserts that social media allows her to rely on my friends decisions to make better judgments about everything from where to stay to what s on my playlist (p. 2). The ability to connect immediately with friends to get their input allows one to make wise, informed decisions in a quicker time than what it would take alone.
APA Practice #2-use the quote to argue against a point (counterclaim) One key flaw of social media is the immediate connection to others. Jessi Hempel (2013) speculates that social media allows her to rely on my friends decisions to make better judgments about everything from where to stay to what s on my playlist (p. 2). In contrary, relying on others is creating a weakness in our society in which many do not take the time to truly think through their own decisions but instead let their friends make decisions for them.
APA Practice #3-Sandwich the quote Bleeeergh. My child no sleep, so me speak Zombie today and sing that song, Lately, I ve been, I ve been losing sleep (Mrs. E)
APA Practice #4- Use the following quote in support of your own claim. [Claim] J. Hempel (2013) writes that her social sites have become personal 24/7 tabloids, always at the ready via [her] phone to absorb her attention with food photographs and pictures of babies with big bows on their heads (p. 2). [write support here]
APA #5 Use the quote from yesterday to write an argument against Claim J. Hempel (2013) _______ that her social sites have become personal 24/7 tabloids, always at the ready via [her] phone to absorb her attention with food photographs and pictures of babies with big bows on their heads (p. 2). [write counterclaim here]
APA #6-Your turn! CLAIM J. Hempel (2013) states that my month-long social media diet allowed me to catalogue my own bad habits I ve leaned on social media to remove myself from social situations I find uncomfortable (p. 2). Expand on claim TURN IN!!!
Passive vs. Active Voice-Rewrite each sentence into active voice. 1. A suggestion was made by Mrs. Eilertsen to have eaten donuts prior to attending class. 2. The students argument that donuts are unhealthy will be considered by Mrs. Eilertsen prior to giving the test. 3. I have been wanting to go see the new LEGO movie. ***look for to be verbs (is, was, were, has/have been etc.)
APA Practice #2 1. The LEGO movie is going to be watched by us tonight. 2. My flat tire I discovered after serving Jury Duty was changed by a guy who drove a Ford Focus. 3. Nathan and I have been up since 3 a.m.; yay for babies!
APA #3 Identify as active or passive: 1. I am going to be late to today s class; I had to get a donut. 2. Even though I have not started my research proposal, I know what I am going to write about so I m going to tell my teacher that it will get done on time. 3. I really despise the 1997 version of Romeo and Juliet. 4. Please can we be done practicing passive voice?
APA #4 Rewrite into active voice. 1. To be elected by my peers is a great honor. 2. Bobbie was given a D on his Research Proposal (poor Bobbie-he didn t follow directions). 3. Why is active voice essential for Research writing?

APA #3 3/26 Correct and copy the following citation onto your practice sheet for the Online Degree article. HAVE OUT YOUR ARTICLE FOR TODAY. M Tucker and Kathryn Cook. 2013. Point: Online Degree Programs Offer a Competitive Edge. Points of View, 12(1-2) Retrieved from EBSCOHOST
