Reflecting on Paraphrase practice

Learning Goals of paraphrasing activities:

1. Only use a direct quote when it adds power and style to my writing.
2. Always make it clear, from context, that I understand the full
meaning of any quote I use.
3. Whether I quote or paraphrase, I must always be transparent about
the source and how I'm using it.
4. If I use another author's exact words or phrases, to any extent, I
have to use quotation marks and provide attribution, in the text, so
that it’s perfectly clear which words are not my own.
5. If I use another author's presentation of facts or ideas, but put their
ideas in my own words, (paraphrase) I must give credit and provide
attribution, in the text, so that I show clearly exactly how I’m using
the words of another author.
6. The issue of plagiarism is not simply a matter of formal source
citation. In different disciplines, sources may be cited or credited in
different ways but the key point is to achieve total transparency in
my writing when I use the work of others.
7. I understand that an “oversight” on my part, when it comes to
crediting a quote, paraphrase, and source (hyperlink or citation, as
directed) is, in fact, plagiarism, regardless of my intentions. 


I rate myself a 5 on the Likert Scale of understanding how to use
sources appropriately. I am ready to be held accountable for my
skill and knowledge

Party Guest List (Historical/Hidden Figures Version)

Image
Guest List/invites: 1.) Katherine Johnson. I would invite this woman out of pure respect and awe. I believe someone who has the bravery to stand up for what is right would be an excellent friend to have and would doubtlessly provide sense to a crazy party if it were needed. 2.) Taraji P. Henson. I would certainly invite this young woman. She seems as if she is a very down to Earth and adaptable type of person, I feel like she would help get a few laughs out of people and overall be a rather relatable friend. 3.) Mary Jackson. I feel like this would be our little beauty and queen of dance. She'd likely be the one making sure the games and decorations were just right and still would show up and outshine the rest, leading everyone into a great time! 4.) Janelle Monáe. I feel as if this young woman would be the life of the party! And certainly, the one to bring entertainment through performing for everyone and making sure everyone has fun. 5.) Dorothy

Confederacy Ideas Study

There is a difference between Battle Flag and the simple confederate flag, often confused. I learned from analyzing what leaders of the Confederacy said about reasons for seceding the United States was  the Southern states ' desire to preserve the institution of slavery, to keep their true principle of what they thought was the truth For the battle flag of the Confederacy, I used to think of it standing in general as just something people united under sharing similar ideals, though having grown up in Arizona, white supremacy or southern pride wasn't present in my life until later... I now realize it, in fact, stands for the men who lost their lives fighting for a cause, later branching off into much different supposed ideals. I think it is more than possible to separate the battle flag from the stated goals of others using a similar or same version of the flag design as they stood for less overall ideals and more personal ones of the time that distracted the flag's

Paraphrase Practice

"Lincoln believed slavery was immoral, but he also considered the 13th Amendment a masterstroke in cutting away the financial foundations of the Confederacy.  I've rarely been more aware than during Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" that Abraham Lincoln was a plain-spoken, practical, down-to-earth man from the farmlands of Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois. He had less than a year of formal education and taught himself through his hungry reading of great books." -Roger Ebert's Lincoln Movie Review Lincoln was supporting and thought of the idea of slavery being an overall wrong, or inhumane, way through the ideas of personal standards in a consciousness of a human. He thought the 13th Amendment to be a brilliant way of chipping at the economic or money base ground point of the Confederacy. Like many Steven Spielberg very conscious in seeing how simple, blunt, realistic, and focused male of the countryside of Kentucky, Indian, and Illinois. This ma
