Source integration and Documentation Exercise Consult the readings in the lesson for how to respond accurately to the questions below. Since it is highly unlikely that a public genre of writing requires in-text citations, use hyperlinks to articles to create the citation. Pay careful attention to how quotations are punctuated. In Standard American Written English, the closing quotation goes AFTER the end punctuation, whether it is a comma or a period.

Part I: Summary Your Discipline Project should provide a brief summary of the key findings in your scholarly article. It should appear early in your translation of that article for a public audience. Copy and paste your summary of the article’s findings in the space below. Enter your summary here: Part II: Introducing Quotations Practice different ways of integrating quotations by rewriting the way in which you introduce them in a sentence in your draft of the Discipline Project. USE THE same quotation IN EACH STEP of Part I AND USE HYPERLINKS TO CREATE THE CITATION. Take your example from your draft of the Discipline Project. Let’s get started: IN THE SPACE BELOW, ENTER THE QUOTATION YOU CITED IN A SENTENCE IN YOUR DRAFT. My example: As this research shows, “practicing creative thinking techniques improves creativity.” 1. Enter the quotation you want to integrate into your draft (most likely from the scholarly article you are translating) in the space below. This is the quotation (and its author) you will use for each step in Part I. Enter the example from your draft HERE: 2. In the space below, introduce that quotation by using the name its author. Example: According to researcher John Doe, “practicing creative thinking techniques improves creativity.” Enter the example from your draft HERE: 3. In the space below, introduce the quotation used in your example sentence by using the name and a brief description of the author of the quotation. Example: A Yale University professor states that “practicing creative thinking techniques improves creativity.” Enter the example from your draft HERE: 4. In the space below, introduce the quotation by using an appropriate introductory verb. Consult the “Verbs for Referring to Sources” included in the lesson for a list of useful verbs. You cannot use the verb “says” unless you are quoting an interview. Example: John Doe, a professor at Yale University, concludes that “practicing creative thinking techniques improves creativity.” Enter your example HERE: 5. In the space below, introduce the quotation by establishing its credibility. Credibility-building in the introductory lead-in should take no more than ten words but should still convey a sense of why the reader should believe your source has merit. Example: John Doe, the Robinson Professor of Neuroscience at Yale University, argues that “practicing creative thinking techniques improves creativity.” Enter your example HERE: Part III Discussing, Applying, or Explaining a Quotation THIS IS THE ALL-IMPORTANT SYNTHESIS WORK, or how you “join a conversation.” In most cases, the synthesis writing answers the “so what” question: You included a quote, but “so what?” What is important about it that your reader needs to know? You do not have to use the same quotation in each entry, but make sure to include the in-text citation. 5. In the space below, integrate a quotation used in your draft by explaining the source (commenting upon it). Remember—your explanation should be longer than the source itself. Example: Doe argues that advances in communication technology do not “enable us to make better decisions”; instead, they “have deprived us of the ability to think.” A hundred years ago, a message required three days by horseback or three months by ship to go from one person to another, allowing for substantial thinking time by both sender and receiver between messages. Today’s advanced communication technologies, Doe believes, have shortened that time to the point where messages demand instant, unthinking replies. Enter your example HERE: 6. In the space below, integrate a quotation used in your draft by providing an example to clarify its point. Example: In his discussion of electrical consumption, Doe argued that of the “more than a dozen electrical motors in a typical home, the occasional use motors add significantly to the overall energy usage. Examples of occasional use motors would include bathroom fan vents, range hood fans, and garbage disposals because they are used only on occasion rather than continuously, as in the case of a refrigerator circular fan. Note how this write supplies several concrete example so that the reader will have enough knowledge of the term “occasional use motor” to understand the discussion that will follow.
