Writing and Research
CRITICAL ANALYSIS-
Ideas and opinions that are clearly and directly supported by textual evidence.
TRANSITIONS PHRASES-
Attached below are 2 slides with some QUICK transition information. For me, see the Purdue OWL website.
OUTLINE -
Attached below is a sample outline document. If you have difficulty opening it, try SAVE and then open as a word document. This was a sample outline you probably saw sophomore year as a basic how-to.
PRIMARY CITATIONS-
are examples from the book or play on which the paper is written, actually , straight from the book example evidence to support/SHOW your idea(s)
SECONDARY SOURCE CITAIONS-
are from your research sources (the second group of materials you read after your primary source). They are both exact, using the critic's own words citations and putting the critic's unique idea in your own words citations. They key here is critic's words and crtic's ideas, not your's. These then have internal citations within your paper:
INTERNAL CITATIONS-
follow at the end of your sentence ONLY, even if you are only referring to the first part as a secondary source idea, but the citations does come before the end mark. For example: "BLauhalkdj lfjeoi fe epowef pweojeoe dkkdwp dwldfjh etyenopw eiwon ow e ieoweihe" (Smith 23). or in your own words , without quotes: BLarljei dkjodi Bla lh aodin e eiowe jdwie enew ekewe ehfier; unoloforoeyt, dowkeruoew (Tyler 10). The first part is the pointer (Tyler and Smith) that points to the first word of the source/biblio entry (usually author's last name); the second part is the page number, no p or p. or , or anything in front of the number (or "On-line" if from websource, or, CD-ROM if from that source).
