Parts of an Outline and Paragraph

Graduation Project Practice

Research Question

The research question guides the writer. This question is answered with

research.

EXAMPLE: Does a pilgrim’s estate influence his or her devotion?

Thesis Statement

The thesis statement guides the reader. This statement organizes the

answer.

EXAMPLE: On the journey to Canterbury, a mixture of estates expresses a mixture of morals.

Topic Sentence

The topic sentence introduces an idea within one paragraph. The topic sentence should also

connect to the thesis statement.

EXAMPLE: The knight represents an ideal member of the feudal estate.

Context/Example

The context/example provides details about the topic or idea. These details provide much more

specific information.

This information will be on the following note card.

Quote

The quote proves the context/example. This quoted passage supports any claims made about the topic.

This information will be on the following note card.

Interpretation

The interpretation explains the significance. This explanation applies to the proven

claim. This may be more than one sentence.

This information will be on the following note card.

Transition

The transition connects from one idea to a new idea/paragraph. This reconnects the ideas (new and old) to

the thesis.

EXAMPLE: While the knight is an example of a perfect pilgrim, his fellow traveler, the Wife of Bath, is not.

Conclusion EXAMPLES

Textual Significance: Based on the analysis of these three pilgrims, piety varies as much as wealth. Reflects topic of paper…

Universal Significance: Like today, one’s social standing makes no bearing on his or her moral standing. Reflects real world connection…

SCREEN SHOT OF NOODLETOOLS

Putting it all together…

The knight represents an ideal member of the feudal estate. He is a devote Christian. For example, the knight is “Just home from service, he joined our ranks/ to do his pilgrimage and render thanks” (Chaucer 79-80). The knight returns home from fighting in the crusades or holy wars. He joins the pilgrimage, so he could honor God. He also wants to thank God for his survival. Supporting and defending Christianity is part of the chivalric code. While the knight is an example of a perfect pilgrim, his fellow traveler, the Wife of Bath, is not.

Practicing Integrating Quotes using The Canterbury Tales

Graduation Project Preparation

10/9/2013

A dropped quotation is a quote that a writer has just dropped into his or her text without integrating it into a sentence.

The quote should never be a separate sentence; it should always be connected to your own sentence.

Modifying Quotes

Use an ellipsis to eliminate a word, a phrase, a sentence, or more from a quoted passage.

Use brackets to add a comment or explanation within a quoted passage.

EXAMPLE: The narrator reports, “Her [Wife of Bath] kerchiefs were of finely woven ground; …The ones she wore on Sunday, on her head” (Chaucer 463-465).

Integrating Quotes 1

Option 1: For example, “Quote” (citation).

*This is the easiest and most common format.*

1. The Wife of Bath represents a typical member of the middle or merchant class. For example, “In making cloth she showed so great a bent / She bettered those of Ypres and of Ghent” (Chaucer 457-458).

Integrating Quotes 2

Option 2: Person says, “Quote” (citation).

*Says can be changed into a variety of action verbs.*

2. The Wife of Bath is rather materialistic. The narrator reports, “Her kerchiefs were of finely woven ground; /I dared have sworn they weighed a good ten pound, /The ones she wore on Sunday, on her head” (Chaucer 463-465).

Integrating Quotes 3

Option 3: Complete statement supported by quote: “Quote” (citation).

• The clause must be a full sentence. The quote proves the

sentence.

3. The Wife of Bath is in love with love: “She’d had five husbands, all at the church door” (Chaucer 470).

Integrating Quotes 4

Option 4: Finish the sentence with a “quote” (citation).

*Sentence would be a fragment without the quote.*

4. Because of her several marriages , the Wife of Bath “knew the remedies for love’s mischances” (Chaucer 485).

Instructions

Practice the four quote integration structures.

Use the brackets and ellipsis to modify the quotes.
