Summary and Paraphrase Practice
Post a summary and a paraphrase from the article you plan to analyze for this week's assignment:
• "The Myth of the Helicopter Parent"
• "The Strategies of Forbidden Love: Family across Racial Boundaries"
• "Women and Men in Love: Who Really Feels It and Says It First?"
See the example below.
Original paragraph from Dynamic Argument p. 336
When examining a webpage, you should consider how the visual elements work in concert with the text to persuade the viewer. Webpages often do not present evidence directly in their arguments but rather link to other sites or pages containing that evidence. Also, Web documents, like print ads, tend to argue in sentence fragments and bulleted points as opposed to carefully crafted paragraphs and whole essays. When evaluating these documents, it is important to note that webpages are a relatively new genre and are still evolving. They operate by different rules of discourse than, say, editorials in newspapers or lengthy articles in magazines. When evaluating arguments presented on the Web, keep in mind these considerations and the fluid, multiple-authored nature of the Web.
Paraphrase - similar in length to original, and each sentence contains a mention of the authors. Note the inclusion of a short quotation with page number. You must change sentence structure when paraphrasing.
According to Lamm& Everett (2007), readers must consider web pages to be designed and written differently from journal articles or editorials, and in some cases they are more like advertising with "sentence fragments and bullet points" (p.336). The authors remind writers that as a new medium, web pages do not follow traditional writing rules, and they often link to supporting material rather than including it on the same page. They suggest that evaluation of the web site's argument must take into account these differences.
Summary - much shorter than the original (1 sentence) that covers the main points of the paragraph:
As a new, evolving medium, web pages must be evaluated differently from traditional media both from visual and written perspectives (Lamm& Everett, 2007) .
Long Blocked Quotation - While you are not required to do this for this assignment, I thought it would be good for you to see an example. Long quotations are 40 or more words from an original. Use this VERY sparingly, as no more than 10% of your word count should be directly quoted.
Another point by Lamm and Everett (2007) states:
Webpages are a relatively new genre and are still evolving. They operate by different rules of discourse than, say, editorials in newspapers or lengthy articles in magazines. When evaluating arguments presented on the Web, keep in mind these considerations and the fluid, multiple-authored nature of the Web. (p. 336)
