#111 Process-Based Writing: Working with Evidence

Introducing Noodle Tools
A special thanks to Ms. Baldwin, Ms. Gnerre, and Ms. Davis from the library for leading this session. 

• Signing In: Are there any problems?
• How to share your work with Mr. Hall
• Your sources: How to list them
• How to create a notecard
• How to create an outline
• How to create a citations and bibliography and what is Chicago style?

Gathering evidence

• At the end of last class and last night, you began considering possible evidence to respond to the question. Now is the time to take an informed position.
• Use Noodle Tools to begin creating notecards from your evidence. In this process we will be emphasizing quality and relevance over quantity, so you will not be assigned a specific number of notecards. That said, it is recommended that you consider preparing 10-12 notecards to give yourself flexibility further along in the process. Be sure to complete all three boxes in Noodle Tools:
  • Direct quotation: What does the text say?
  • Paraphrase/summary: Put it in your own words?
  • Relevance/significance: How does it relate to your argument?

Feedback

• As students dig for evidence and create notecards, Mr. Hall will provide individual feedback on thesis statements and answer questions on evidence collection.
