This week:• Today: you will learn everything you need to

know to start writing your paper!• Tomorrow: we will be in the LAB working on your

paper. At the end of the hour, students will hand in whatever they have finished and I will give feedback on it. If you will be absent, feel free to email me a body paragraph of your paper for feedback. I will give feedback on anything I receive by 3pm Thursday.

The following week:

•Wednesday, Nov. 20th: your final paper is due, with all your articles re-submitted. No exceptions, no extensions, no rewrites.

Organization

• Within each subtopic, you need to decide what ORDER the information will be written.

• For Background and Current Status, it might make sense to go in chronological order.

• In your outline right now, number your evidence in the order it will appear in your paper. Do this now.

• If your outline is not done, you better start praying that you find the wisdom and motivation to write a PASSING paper. May the odds be ever in your favor.

• If you are done with your outline, pat yourself on the back. Luck favors the prepared.

Pros and Cons

• Get out your thesis and argument sheet.• In what order will you put your arguments?

Usually, you should put your strongest and heaviest argument LAST in each section. You want a strong end to that section.

• Decide what will be the order of your arguments for each section (PRO and CON) and label the arguments 1, 2, 3.

Evidence

• Under the Pro section, label which piece of evidence goes with what argument. Put the corresponding number next to that evidence. Do the same for the Con side. Do this now.

• Do you have at LEAST 2 pieces of evidence for EACH argument? (This would be for a minimal grade).

• If the answer is no, find more and fix it! Make it happen!

Today:• Today you will learn the last piece of information

you need to know in order to begin writing up your paper.

• You will be learning about some steps today. They are related to CEW (although not exactly the same).

• We expect you to be able to use these steps effectively in your final paper. In fact, the success of your paper rests upon your ability to use these steps well.

• First, we’ll look at some examples.

2 parts:• The body paragraphs of your paper will

basically consist of 2 things:Information you found in your articlesYour explanations, insights, reflections, opinions

and connections about that information.

Example:

• The following slide has an example paragraph from a student paper. This is #1 on your worksheet.

• About half of the paragraph is information (evidence)—that is, material paraphrased or quoted from the articles the student read.

• The other half of the paragraph is the student’s own opinions, insight, connections and explanation (warrant) about the information.

• These two things (evidence and warrant) are mixed throughout the paragraph.

• Your task? Separate them out. Highlight the evidence parts in

orange, and the warrant parts in blue (or green or purple) .

Inside the walls of research facilities, many animals are being tested to find new breakthroughs in products, cures and procedures for many diseases. Animals are highly useful in finding breakthroughs in certain medical techniques--some more than others. Approximately 95 percent of medical research uses mice and other rodents. Nearly all the mice and rats used are bred specifically for research. This means that not all animals are useful in laboratories. Most often, labs use only mice or rats that are bred for the purpose of experimentation instead of using other domestic animals. Some sheep have also been used to test germ theory which led to the development of the poison, anthrax. This is one of many pieces of evidence that breakthroughs made from animal testing have been a useful resource for scientists. Animal testing has also lead to the development of vaccines for polio, treatments for cancer, safer heart surgery, and even the artificial heart. These, along with many other examples, show how and why animals are being used in research. They are used because of one simple fact: animal experimentation works.

There are many types of stem cells, but embryonic stem cells seem to stir up the most controversy. It is first important to understand where these cells come from. Embryonic stem cells are cells taken from the inner cell mass of the embryo. This could be from any living being such as a human or an animal (Hook 634). Knowing where these stem cells come from is important because it leads into the controversial aspect of the debate. Some people object to the fact that stem cells are taken from living beings. Stem cells are able to adapt to any environment in the body. They can turn into any kind of cell the body needs (Hook 634). Because of this, stem cells have the possibility of regenerating and possibly growing entire organs and repairing damaged cells and tissues in the body. This leads us to a hope that stem cells might be able to entirely cure chronic diseases. It is clear that more research is going to be needed to find a proper therapeutic use for human embryonic stem (hES) cells to cure diseases (Hook 634). If allowed by government regulators and funding, these microscopic cells have a chance at making a huge difference on a worldwide scale. The more research that is able to be conducted now, the closer we will be to finding the therapeutic uses that stem cells carry.

With all of the negativity surrounding stem cell research, it’s hard to see the good in it, but continued research on stem cells can have many benefits. Burgin gives some interesting facts about the awareness of stem cell research across the country: in 2005, over 80% of Americans were aware of stem cell research and 61% found the research ethically acceptable (Burgin 3). That leaves only 19% of Americans aware of the research on stem cells who find it ethically unacceptable. This shows just how much support there is for stem cell research in America already. This is not surprising, since stem cell research promises to accomplish great things. Anft puts a spotlight on scientists’ hopes for stem cell research, saying that stem cells may one day be used for curing diseases such as diabetes, cancers, and memory losses such as Parkinson’s disease (Anft). Stem cell research may be our closest hope of helping millions of people affected by chronic illnesses. It is clear that stem cell research has honorable intentions and goals. Even though these goals haven’t been realized yet, Anft points out that results are bound to happen soon, especially since scientists have found a new way of producing stem cells that allows a patient to receive their own cells, making it harder for the body to reject the treatment (Anft). This would make human trials and treatments a lot safer, and if human trials began, stem cell research could become even more accepted. If people could see the physical improvement of a person who was losing their memory, or a person who was told they would never walk again standing on their own, stem cell research would have a brighter future and we could move on to even better findings and accomplishments.

Then she did the whole thing over again for the next piece of information…Step 1: Introduce the sourceStep 2: paraphrase or quote the actual infoStep 3: cite the sourceStep 4: explain, connect, give your opinion, reflect, say why it’s important

The 4 steps:• These are the same steps you will follow as

you write your paper.• Please take notes from the following slide on

the BACK of your worksheet.• The success of your paper rests upon your

hard work in using these steps well!

Step 1: Introduce the source– The first time you use a source, you have to give LOTS of info: author’s full

name, title of article, publication it was in. Example: In his article “The Science and Ethics of Induced Pluripotency: What Will Become of Embryonic Stem Cells?” from the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, Christopher C. Hook explains that…

– All the other times you use that source, you will just use the author’s last name. Example: Hook states that…

Step 2: Paraphrase or quote the evidenceStep 3: Cite the source

– The period goes outside the parenthesis. – Example: …diseases (Hook 634).

Step 4: Explain + (Warrant) (There is no first person used here)– Explain the information for us, give your own opinion, give insights about

what this all means, then connect to the next piece of information you plan to give.

– Example: That leaves only 19% of Americans aware of the research on stem cells who find it ethically unacceptable. This shows just how much support there is for stem cell research in America already. This is not surprising, since stem cell research promises to accomplish great things.

These 3 steps should all be

part of the same sentence.

Homework:• Turn in your outline to your Background page.• On the top of your notecard, write your name.• On the first line, write your topic sentence.• Then, begin the 4 steps. – First, introduce your source. Since this is the first time you’ll

use your source, give the full name, article title, and publication.

– Then, paraphrase the evidence.– Then, cite the evidence.– Finally, explain, give your opinions, give insight, and start

connecting this piece of info to your next one. This is the warrant. There is no first person (I, me, you, we, us) used.

• Due tomorrow when you come to class.

Tomorrow:• I will collect your 4 step practice.– If you were not finished with your outline today, and you plan on

passing English 12, you need to complete the following tonight for homework:1. Finish outline2. Decide on the order for each piece of information in background, current

status3. Label which piece of evidence goes with what argument in pros and cons

• Tomorrow, you will begin writing your paper.• In order to be successful tomorrow, you need:– Your articles– Your completed and organized outline– Your notes from today
