Write an open-ended, interesting question fordiscussion about chapter 1Get into groups of fiveDecide who woke up the earliest in your groupThat person is the dealerThe dealer should take all of the cards and mix themup face downThe dealer should deal one card to the first groupmemberHe or she has a minute or two to answer the questionThe rest of the group should then discuss the questionfor four minutesWhen the four minutes are up, the dealer should dealone card to the next group member and repeat thesame answering processThe last card is the dealers! 7. Video 8. Remember thesepoints when selectingand integratingquotations in youressay. 9. It is rarely effective to use an entire quotedsentence. Long quotations tend to put yourreader to sleep. Your prose is far moreinteresting and important. So use part of aneffective quotation as part of one of yoursentences. 10. Boring Example: According to Stoll, Televisionand computing make us more passiveandpassivity feeds into shyness (395).Better Example: Unfortunately, those who arealready shy may compound their problemfurther as [t]elevision and computing make usmore passiveand passivity feeds intoshyness (Stoll 395). 11. After the sentence that contains the quotation,you should have a space, parentheses, theauthors last name, the page number,parentheses, and a period.Unfortunately, those who are alreadyshy may compound their problemfurther as [t]elevision and computingmake us more passiveandpassivity feeds into shyness(Stoll 395). 12. If you used the authors name to introduce thequotation, you should only put the pagenumber in the citation.Stoll points out that those who arealready shy may compound theirproblem further as [t]elevision andcomputing make us morepassiveand passivity feeds intoshyness (395). 13. Boring Example: Stoll says, Deep social ties arerelationships with frequent contact, deep feelingsof involvement, and broad content[they] bufferus from stress and lead to better social interaction(393).Better Example: Stoll suggests we should look fordeep social ties because these bonds havefrequent contact, deep feelings of involvement,and broad content that help to buffer us fromstress and lead to better social interaction (393). 14. To integrate a quotation properly within aparagraph, a good writer usually has(1) One sentence to introduce the quotation,(2) a second sentence that includes the quotation,and(3) at least one sentence to comment on thequotation. 15. Top piece ofbread: atleast onesentence tointroduce thequotationMeat:sentencethatcontainsthequotation Bottom piece of bread: at leastone sentence to explain orcomment on the quotation (usuallythe majority of the paragraph) 16. ORIGINAL: However, the cloning protocol does nottamper with embryos; it tampers only with unfertilizedeggs and adult cells like those we scratch off our armswithout a second thought. Only after the fact does anembryo emerge (which could be treated with theutmost respect if one so chooses).SMOOTHLY INTEGRATED QUOTATION:Silver argues that reproductive cloning does not violatehuman embryos.He asserts that the [cloning protocol] tampers only withunfertilized eggs and adult cells like those we scratch offour arms without a second thought (343).While Silver makes a good point, reproductive cloning isstill unnatural. The embryo is created in a laboratory byscientists. 17. Silver argues that reproductive cloning does notviolate human embryos. He asserts that the[cloning protocol] tampers only withunfertilized eggs and adult cells like those wescratch off our arms without a second thought(343). While Silver makes a good point,reproductive cloning is still unnatural. Theembryo is created in a laboratory by scientists. 18. ORIGINAL: Although their genetically determined inclinationsmay be the same, [the original person and the clone] maychoose to follow those inclinations in different ways, or notat all.SMOOTHLY INTEGRATED QUOTATION:The environment in which people are raised affects them morethan their genetic code.Though the original person and his clone may share geneticallydetermined inclinations, they have the choice to follow thoseinclinations in different ways, or not all (Silver 343).Michael Jordan was not born a great basketball player. Thoughhe may have some natural ability, he became great through hardwork, perseverance, and practice. Cloning Jordan would notguarantee a great basketball star; on the contrary, the childwould have only the raw athletic talent and would lack thecircumstances and events that made Jordan who he is. 19.

A dropped quotation has the same effect onyour paper that a blob of bird poop has on yourcar windshield; its just splattered there with noconnection to anything else, and no one knowswhat to do with it.So, whenever you use a quotation, you mustintegrate the material into your text. 21. Though many jobs require long hours on acomputer everyday, studies have shown thatstaring at a monitor screen for extendedperiods of time can cause depression. Afterfollowing the study group, the psychologistsfound an average increase in depression byabout one percent for every hour spent onlineper week (Stoll 393). The individual becomesisolated from the outside world and though heor she may be social in an online setting, thereis no true human contact. 22.

People all over the world are making connections withother people online, and though this seems like apositive step in expanding our network of friends,we can forget that these people in the online worldare strangers. Online friends cant be dependedon for help with tangible favors: small loans, baby-sitting,help with shopping, or advice about jobsand careers (Stoll 394). Though many peoplefind help in online support groups, the members ofthe group should not be considered true friends.They may be able to offer advice or commiseratewith an individual, but they do not offer the humanconnection one finds with a person face to face. 27.

Top piece ofbread: atleast onesentence tointroduce thequotationMeat:sentencethatcontainsthequotation Bottom piece of bread: at leastone sentence to explain orcomment on the quotation (usuallythe majority of the paragraph) 31. Ellipses (three dots) indicate that some unnecessarywords have been left out of a quotation. Whenusing ellipses, remember:When you quote just a word or short phrase, noellipsis is necessary.You do not use an ellipsis to indicate that you haveleft something out of the beginning of a sentence.Missing words from the end or somewhere in themiddle of a sentence need to be indicated withellipses.When you quote parts of more than one sentence,you need four dots instead of three. 32. Use brackets to indicate any changes youmake to quotations while fitting them into yoursentence. See the example under Maintaininga Smooth Sentence Style.Remember, rather than changing more thantwo items in a short quotation, find a better wayof integrating the quotation. 33.
