Guess what?
Shane's off using that incredible brain of his to write engaging new scripts for
course four, which means he's left me in charge of the capstone course.
[LAUGH] Goody.
0:32
So, since Shane's not around,
I guess I'm the lucky one who gets to say, welcome back, to Teach English Now.
And welcome, to the capstone course, for Teach English Now Part One.
0:50
Okay [SOUND] now, down to business.
First of all, I'd like to say congratulation because you've successfully
finished the first three courses of part one of Teach English Now.
And now, hopefully, you're ready to demonstrate what you've learned so far.
1:11
You'll be asked to complete a number of practical
All of which will draw upon what was taught in courses one, two, and three.
First, we'd like to see you apply some of the concepts discussed throughout
Second, the tasks in this course will help prepare you to apply for
1:41
Many of the documents you will create in this course are often required in
to explain the techniques that you'd like to integrate in your own teaching.
in addition to a CV or a resume.
2:20
The teaching philosophy gives employers a glimpse into the teacher's motivation,
The second task that you'll be asked to do is to plan a 50 to 60 minute lesson plan.
2:37
Lesson plans are yet another document employers ask for
So you did this before in course three, this time we'll walk you through, again,
2:52
You might want to consider planning a lesson related to the first lesson plan
from course three.
If both your lesson plan from course three and this one are related,
you'll already have two out of your five days already planned,
[LAUGH] So the third task you'll be asked to create is a one week lesson plan.
The goal is to help you see the bigger picture of lesson planning and how each
class should build upon the previous one instead of being standalone lessons.
if they're both related, as mentioned before, you can use them both to
fulfill two of the five days required in the one week lesson plan.
The fourth test will be for you to submit a teaching tip for your teaching toolbox.
If everyone shares their tips, you'll have hundreds, maybe thousands tips and
activities from other teachers that you can incorporate into your own teaching.
And this will help reduce time when you're lesson planning.
4:16
In modules one through five of the capstone course,
4:23
Since we know many of you might not have access to ESL teachers near you,
we've filmed some of our own amazing teachers in our ESL program
analyze the strength of each teacher, the teacher's lesson plans and
4:51
The last part of this course is the final capstone project.
This is the very last task you'll be asked to complete for this course.
You will film yourself teaching a micro lesson, which is part of the lesson
plan that you created in either modules two or three of the capstone course.
You'll choose part of your lesson plan that you like the most and
5:18
If you're currently teaching,
No students needed.
And believe it or not, a teaching video is something that employers sometimes require
Plus, [LAUGH] this is your chance to show off some of your skills, ideas, and
5:45
Whew!
Before I sat down to actually create this course Shane, Justin and
Please believe me when I say that all of these assignments are not busy work.
Each and every one of these assignments are important meaningful tasks that will
help you reflect on and apply the information that you've learned so far.
Plus, these assignments will help prepare you for teaching and applying for
6:34
Before you dive into this course, I'd like to leave you with one reminder.
6:40
Please try to do your best on all of these assignments.
6:44
Some of them may challenge you more than you're used to.
But, if you realize you're getting writer's block and you just can't think or
write anymore, please remember to stop.
7:02
Take a break, get a drink of water, walk around,
whatever you need to do and then come back to your work later.
7:10
Now, later maybe five minutes later, or possibly even the next day.
float around in my head for a few hours or even a few days before I start writing.
And another suggestion, if you get stuck, is to talk about your ideas with a friend
I can't tell you how many times in creating each of these courses that Shane,
Justin, and I have had to talk ideas through with each other or
bounce ideas off each other when we get stuck and we just can't write anymore.
7:47
Sometimes, just talking about your ideas helps to get your brain working again so
7:57
So, the completion of this capstone course
all of the course before you, you will receive a TSEL certificate from ASU.
[MUSIC]
Welcome back to the Capstone course for the first part of Teach English Now! Up until this point,
we’ve kept a light-hearted spirit in this course. However, I’d like to take a moment to discuss a few
serious topics as we enter the most rigorous part of this course.
As mentioned in the welcome video, this course will be requiring a great deal of work, writing and
creation on your part. If you’re taking this course for fun, you may be tempted to skip the Capstone
courses because they do require a lot of work from you, the participants. That’s totally fine. However,
if your goal is achieving the TESOL Certification from ASU and Coursera, you must complete the
work AND pass both this Capstone Course and the second Capstone Course (which you’ll do after
completing Courses 4, 5, and 6). We strive to make the courses engaging and enjoyable for you, but
the Capstone Courses are meant to challenge and test what you’ve learned. The second capstone
course will be graded by a team of ASU professionals, and this will be the moment
wherein those who have cheated will be disqualified from receiving a TESOL Certificate. This
TESOL Certificate you receive upon completion will have Arizona State University’s name on it, and
as such, you are being held to ASU’s standards of achieving excellence.
Speaking of being held to standards, we’d like to take this time to remind you of academic integrity.
Both Arizona State AND Coursera have strict academic integrity policies, which participants are
expected to adhere to. Each country around the world has different standards or expectations of
academic integrity; however, at Arizona State University, as with all American universities, academic
integrity is expected from all students, with serious repercussions for those who do not adhere to the
given expectations. Some of the most important aspects of academic integrity are as follows:
Below are the links to both ASU’s and Courera’s Academic Integrity Policies:
On that note, the Teach English Now instructors (Shane, Justin, and myself) will not be reviewing
any submissions until the end of the 2nd Capstone course, where you will be required to submit a
portfolio containing the work you complete in this course as well as in the 2nd Capstone course. The
purpose for us waiting until the end of the 2nd Capstone is twofold:
First, interaction and collaboration with participants all over the world is a top priority for MOOC
courses. And this course, literally, has participants from hundreds of countries, offering each of you
a chance to work with amazing people that you typically wouldn’t have the opportunity to You will
notice that the rubrics for all the peer review assignments is typically general and vague—we do
this on purpose. “Did the participant do ….?” With a “yes” or “no” answer. We are just asking you,
as the peer reviewer, to make sure other participants’ work is in order, and follows the directions.
We will be reviewing and grading all participants’ submissions at the end of the 2nd Capstone
ourselves.
Second, a team of professional ESL educators will review all of your work time at the end of the
2nd Capstone course to grade and provide feedback to those hearty, dedicated, hard-working
participants who complete all 6 courses and both capstones. Participants who successfully
complete all 6 courses and both Capstones will receive the TESOL certificate.
Finally, in relation to the last two topics of academic integrity and the instructors reviewing
work in the 2nd capstone course, I’d like to gently remind all of you, once again, to do your
own work. Not only will the instructors be reading your work, but we will be using top-of-the-
line anti-plagiarism software to read through each and every final submission. Just a
reminder, once again: Upon review by ASU professional ESL educators, those who have
cheated will be disqualified from receiving a TESOL Certificate. There will be no second
chances given for those who cheat. We want participants who receive the TESOL certificate
to be top quality, honest teachers. Please keep this in mind when writing and submitting all
peer review assignments in this course, and any others.
On that note, we would like you to try your best with all of these assignments. If you find
yourself struggling, feel free to ask for advice on the Discussion Board.
So, are you ready to dive wholeheartedly into this Capstone course? I hope so! Take a deep
breath and continue on to the first Module, which will help you write your Teaching
Philosophy! Good luck!
Hello and welcome back to the Capstone Project for Teach English Now, Part 1!
The first task of the Capstone I Project is to brainstorm and draft your personal Teaching Philosophy.
Employers often ask teachers to submit their teaching philosophies, along with their resumes or
CVs, in order to provide a deeper insight into each applicant. This one-to-two page document can be
beneficial to teachers, as a simple resume or CV lists only accomplishments, but the Teaching
Philosophy allows teachers to introduce themselves and portray their teaching style before ever
coming face to face with an employer. A well-written Teaching Philosophy can often pack more of a
punch than your resume, which in turn, could lead to more interviews and better job offers.
In order to set you up for success, and so as not to overwhelm you, we have broken the Teaching
Philosophy down into three separate parts:
You will write each part separately, so that you’re not faced with this monumental task of sitting
down and cranking out a one-to-two page document in one sitting. Each part will be written
separately, and then three classmates will peer review each part for you. By the end of this module,
you’ll have completely written your Teaching Philosophy. Save the file for future job applications, as
well as for your Final Capstone Project in Part 2 of this course.
NOTE: You may have to alter your Teaching Philosophy for specific teaching applications—
depending on the job description. Keep this in mind when you apply for jobs in the future and
carefully read the job descriptions for each position.
As you’re writing your Teaching Philosophy, reflect on everything you’ve learned in each of the 3
courses you’ve taken. Refer back to your notes and any videos to help refresh your memory.
Be sure to save all of your work for the 2nd Capstone course, as you will be asked to submit
a portfolio of the items from this course and the 2nd Capstone course to be reviewed by ESL
educators at ASU.
As you’re writing your Teaching Philosophy, reflect on everything you’ve learned in each of the 3
courses you’ve already completed. Refer back to your notes and any videos to help refresh your
memory.
Use first person. These ideas are your philosophy, so be sure to personalize it by using first
person.
Focus on your strengths as a teacher that typically wouldn’t get mentioned in a resume/CV.
Give specific examples after giving general statements. If you mention that you adhere to the 80/20
rule in the classroom, give specific examples of how you do this. If you say that you scaffold your
lesson, explain or give examples about how you use scaffolding in your lessons.
Try to use positive language. Positive or negative language sets the tone for your Teaching
Philosophy, and can influence employers’ perception of you. The more positive your language, the
more effectively you’ll impress potential employers. So, instead of saying, “Teachers
should not….,” think of how to spin that sentence in a more positive light. Maybe, “Teachers
should….”
Use active, action verbs whenever possible (instead of the be/have verbs) to make your writing
stronger and more powerful. (Example: I am a happy teacher. = weaker sentence. I turn on my
smile each day before I step into the classroom, which affects the students' attitudes when they first
see me in the morning. = stronger verb, stronger image)
If you get writer's block at any time throughout this Capstone Course, take a break and come back
to your writing later. Maybe even talk your ideas out with another person, even if they're not a
teacher. Sometimes just talking through your ideas with another person is helpful!
Since this is the first time you're being asked to write a teaching philosophy, here is an
example of a strong, well-written teaching philosophy that includes a clear, detailed
explanation of teaching purpose, style and techniques, written by one of our very own Teach
English Now! learners. Please use this as a guide/model for what you're expected to write.
My Teaching Philosophy, by Robert Errington
Teaching Purpose: When I arrived in Germany I barely knew a word of the language. I
could say, ‘Ja’, ‘Nein’ and ‘Danke’ but that was about all. I spent the first few months terrified
that anyone would start a conversation with me or ask me a question. I was like a frightened
mouse, hiding away from social situations and people in general. Gradually, thanks to some
great teachers, I got to grips with the language. It was tough, but with really good support I
developed a real enthusiasm for learning a new language and through that, I learnt about a
whole new culture.
This is why I teach English. I know how important learning a language can be to someone.
Learning a language can lead to a job, friends and can even make the difference between
being happy to face new challenges or hiding in an apartment and being a frightened mouse.
To me, teaching is about giving someone the confidence, the skills, the motivation and the
enthusiasm to learn. It’s like opening a door to a new world and encouraging the person to
step inside.
At the moment I am mainly teaching Business English. My short-term teaching purpose is to
equip my students with the vocabulary and grammatical structures to enable them to
communicate effectively with customers from around the world. However my long-term
purpose is to help my students develop an enthusiasm for learning – not just a language but
anything. Some people think that once they have left school or college, their education is
over. But we can, and do, learn new things every day. Sometimes what we need is someone
to open a door for us and encourage us to step inside. At first we might feel a bit like a
frightened mouse. But with the right support, we can achieve many things.
My teaching style is rooted in the Communicative Approach (1980). This approach
particularly appeals to me because I teach English Business to Managers and Consultants.
My students want to learn all four skills (Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking) and need
to do this through resources relevant to their professions. As a result I often use authentic
materials (magazine articles/blogs) and carefully levelled books with high interest themes
(management books etc.) I like to use the language games, group and pair work, dialogues
and conversations used in both the Communicative Approach and the Direct Approach
(1900). Through these approaches the learners get a chance to develop and practice their
skills in situations that mimic, or are related to, real-life situations.
I also recognise that students have different levels of confidence and abilities. To help
motivate them to learn I also draw on other approaches. I like the way that the Affective
Humanistic Approach (1970) respects the feelings of students as they learn a language. I try
to use positive reinforcement as much as possible and hope to lower their ‘Affective Filter’
through games. Meanwhile from the Comprehension Approach (1980) I really like the idea of
Role-Reversal. Encouraging the students to take the initiative and become the teacher is
something that can really help some people to gain confidence and be more willing to
produce language. And it allows students to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they
already have.
I use a number of teaching techniques in my lessons. One of the most important for me is
finding ways to gain attention and to motivate my students. The lessons take place in training
rooms in their workplace. When the students come into the lessons they are generally
thinking about the meeting they have just come from, or the emails they haven’t replied to.
Therefore I have to find ways to quickly gain their attention and to motivate them to learn.
This means that I spend at least the first 5 minutes in every lesson plan, sometimes more, on
a warm-up activity. To gain their attention I sometimes use music, or videos to ‘mark’ the
start of the lesson. I also try to use warm language and humour to help the students relax
into the lesson. To recall prior learning I sometimes start off with a quiz, based on what we
have learned in previous weeks. It is also important for me to remember that my students are
not empty vessels. Many have a lot of professional and life-experience. When introducing a
new topic or I try to draw on their experience through questions and answers and allowing
role-reversal where they can become the teacher. I also encourage learners to use a range
of Language Learning Strategies. I encourage them to take notes, ask questions, use
imagery and even look ridiculous. The classroom should be a safe place where mistakes are
not only accepted but sometimes encouraged. We can take risks here.
I try to stick to the 80 (practice)/20 (teaching rule). It is important that my students spend as
much time as possible practicing the language they will be using in their workplace. I do this
by encouraging Guided practice and Independent Practice, making sure that there is an
element of both every lesson plan. The Independent Practice often takes place during the
session because the students, as full-time employees, have only limited time for homework.
The advantage of using Independent Practice in the lessons is that I can use this time to
speak to the students individually while they work and give some formative assessment.
Generally the learners are not working towards any qualification, but I do schedule regular
quizzes which allows for an element of summative assessment.
The first task in this course will be to write a Teaching Philosophy. As mentioned before, the
Teaching Philosophy in this course is divided into three parts: purpose, style and techniques. In this
module, we’re going to start small and make this writing process simple by focusing on your
teaching purpose. Your teaching purpose is a brief one to two paragraph explanation of why you
teach and what your goals as a teacher are (or will be).
Why do you teach? You can share a brief story about why you became a teacher, a story from
your own teaching career that exemplifies why you teach, like a student success story, OR begin
with a metaphor or quotation that embodies your beliefs or values on teaching and then explain
and/or give specific examples. If you have other ideas, please feel free to explore them. Just be
sure to explain why you teach and what teaching means to you.
What are your short term AND long term goals? For me, my short-term teaching purpose is
often to effectively equip my students with the tools and knowledge to pass a particular course, but
my long-term purpose is to inspire students not only to pursue their English studies to become
fluent English speakers but their other dreams as well. How about you?
Now, take some time and do a little brainstorming, outlining and/or pre-writing with some of these
ideas regarding your purpose for teaching. Go back and review any videos or readings from Courses
1, 2, and 3 that might help guide or inspire your writing. In the next part, you will be asked to explain
your teaching purpose in one to three paragraphs. You will also be asked to read three other
participants’ submissions, and three participants will review yours. Feel free to make any alterations
to your writing after you receive your peer review comments.
Welcome back to your Capstone Project! The second part of your Teaching Philosophy that you’ll be
writing is your teaching style. A thorough explanation of your teaching style allows future employers
to see how you teach, without ever meeting you. This is your chance to take the different teaching
approaches that were discussed in Course 2 and make them your own.
Before you start writing, please reflect on the various teaching approaches introduced in Course 2.
Go back and review your notes about each approach for peer review assignments. Take some time
to brainstorm and consider some of these questions:
Which approaches were the most relateble to you and the way you teach? Be sure to include the
Communicative Approach (as that's the basis of what Teach English Now! advocates) as well as
one or two other approaches.
Were there specific ideas or aspects from certain approaches that you liked?
Who will you be teaching? Elementary, middle or high school students? University students?
Business executives? Etc?
How will your teaching style best meet the needs of your students and motivate them to learn?
Take some time to outline your answers to these questions. Go back and review any videos or
readings from Courses 1, 2, and 3 that might help guide or inspire your writing. Once you have
gathered all your thoughts about your teaching style, go to the next assignment: a peer review of
your teaching style. Here you will write and upload your teaching style. You will be asked to read
three other participants’ submissions, and three participants will review yours. Feel free to make any
alterations to your writing after you receive your peer review comments.
NOTE: Be sure to save all of your work for the 2nd Capstone course, as you will be asked to submit
a portfolio of the items from this course and the 2nd Capstone course to be reviewed by ESL
educators at ASU.
Now that you’ve successfully written your teaching purpose and your teaching style, start thinking
about some of the techniques that you use (or want to use) in your daily classes. Here are some
questions to help you get started:
Which techniques do you use in lesson planning or teaching? ( For example, scaffolding, warm
language, 80/20, lowering the affective filter, etc)
How much time do you spend teaching and how much time do you spend allowing students to
practice language? Why?
How do you motivate students on a daily basis?
Do you use warm language, teacher talk, language learning strategies, etc? If so, explain how you
use them in class.
What are some warm up/guided practice/independent practice/assessment activities you use?
Explain how you integrate these activities into your lesson plans and how they are beneficial to the
students.
How do you evaluate and assess students? Why?
As you’re thinking about these questions, start writing down some of your ideas. Brainstorm, outline
or pre-write about your teaching techniques. Remember to think about the reasons you use these
techniques in class and be sure you can explain clearly. Go back and review any videos or readings
from Courses 1, 2, and 3 that might help guide or inspire your writing. Once you have gathered all
your thoughts about your teaching techniques, go to the next assignment: a peer review of your
Teaching Techniques. Here you will write and upload your teaching techniques. You will be asked to
read three other participants’ submissions, and three participants will review yours. Feel free to
make any alterations to your writing after you receive your peer review comments.
Good luck!
NOTE: Be sure to save all of your work for the 2nd Capstone course, as you will be asked to submit
a portfolio of the items from this course and the 2nd Capstone course to be reviewed by ESL
educators at ASU.
At the end of each module, we will be providing you with 50-75 minute videos of one of our own ASU
teachers teaching a real class. The purpose for this is twofold: Firstly, this course is aligned with the
TESOL International guidelines, which entails that certification courses must require participants to
observe at least 10 hours of ESL classes. This capstone offers 6 hours of observation and the
second specialization will offer the final 4 hours through the peer-reviewed micro-lesson videos that
you will watch throughout the courses. Secondly, these observations are for you, the participants, to
observe and analyze teachers, a variety of teacher techniques, classroom interaction, and so on.
TESOL and other teacher training programs often require participants to observe other teachers in
action, and we wholeheartedly see the value of observing other teachers. In fact, whether you’ve
never taught before, or if you’ve been teaching for more than 20 years, observing other teachers
provides you with fresh, new ideas and perspectives that you might be able to incorporate into your
own lessons.
However, instead of asking you to find your own teachers to observe—and for some of you in the
farther reaches of the world, or who don’t know any ESL teachers, that would be quite difficult—
we’ve brought the teachers to YOU! Our hope is that you’ll notice some techniques, activities, or
styles in each class that you may be able to incorporate into your own classrooms. In order to make
your experience more authentic, as if you were actually in the classrooms observing these teachers,
these videos are raw and unedited, instead of our normal, polished videos. While the videos may
seem long, they provide you a glimpse of REAL teachers teaching their classes. These lessons,
while planned, are unscripted, and anything can happen in these videos, so notice how the teachers
react to unplanned occurrences.
We are also including the teachers' lesson plans, if you want to follow along with the activities. Try to
notice if the teachers follow their lesson plan exactly, or if the teachers deviate from the lesson at all.
Remember, sometimes well-planned lessons don't always go as planned, so teachers have to be
ready to adapt and improvise.
For Module 1, we’re asking you to observe two different teachers. As you’re watching each lesson,
consider the following questions, which you’ll be asked to answer in a peer review activity after the
video:
· Which approach(es) do you think these teachers’ teaching style most closely aligns with?
· What are some techniques/activities that you might be interested in incorporating into your own
teaching?
So, kick back, relax, and consider the above questions while you check out what our first two
teachers, Nancy and Karen, have to offer!

I put the lovely, as normal, over there what are objectives are.
>> Quotes >> Okay, you could put a quote in, okay.
>> Explanation.
>> Paraphrasing.
>> Paraphrasing.
>> Examples.
1:24
Any other things we might need in there?
Thank you.
1:39
And today, this is what we're going to go through, the order.
Paraphrasing?
So when you need something to introduce that idea before you talk-
>> Explanation.
That's going to be the introduction of the sub-topic related to your topic sentence.
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> Then you would put the quote, right.
I can figure out what you know and what you need to know.
No?
3:01
You are very excited about this textbook.
To page 78.
All right.
3:27
1978, the year of the horse.
3:32
I don't know, it's an important year, yeah.
>> You can work on each part of it until you are satisfied
A good place to pin your revision is by looking at the each body paragraph to
make sure that your evidence helps to make your ideas clear and easy to understand.
>> Okay, so all of you should have sent me your expanded outline with the evidence,
the topic sentences, the in text citation, the reference sheet on the final page.
Yay.
All right, you have already written topic sentences for each section of your paper.
Some of you did, some of you didn't, but you should have.
If a section has more than one paragraph you can now make sure that each one
has a topic sentence, each paragraph consists mostly of your own ideas,
5:50
To effectively use the source information, you need to incorporate it gracefully.
So, when I'm reading, I don't just keep, [SOUND] I can't stop,
>> Harmony.
>> Harmony.
Thank you.
will break down further, but this is how the basic structure is looking, right?
6:34
So a topic sentence, Mohammad with a mustache.
The value?
>> Isolated.
>> Isolated.
Okay.
7:27
And then the paraphrase, actually there's not a paraphrase, there's actually,
there's not a quote in this on, it's a paraphrase and then an explanation.
Okay.
Abdullah.
7:57
>> Great, so you're not just going to give me a topic sentence and give evidence,
right?
Would I understand what that evidence means without you explaining it, right?
I'm going to use the evidence to the reason why I'm looking at the bottle.
This evidence helps to tell you why you have this evidence,
what's the importance of the evidence, and then connect it to the topic sentence,
Karen.
All right.
Okay.
>> Okay.
All right.
10:01
>> Okay, yeah. So this is one that's poetic.
10:08
The difference between my mother's and my feet reminds me of the incredible
Or Obama's speeches, they pretty much just make a quote of what he said.
is called plagiarism.
The only time I quote is when there's like small phrases that there's no words
for it.
It let's the reader know that you are presenting the information from
another person.
Referring to the original author helps to establish your honesty, reliability and
So, you're showing your credibility as an author from the sources that you
Okay?
So you're not just showing the credible person who you did the research from is
When you state the source and you paraphrase the source.
the connecting evidence that actually shows what you're trying to say.
Introducing evidence.
13:00
Once you have decided.
>> [INAUDIBLE]
13:13
>> Include the sources.
>> Okay, so from the textbook, I think they ended up cutting that part out.
meaning Where does it come from, who wrote it, what's the importance of it.
So every single paragraph, you don't need to have always name the title of
14:15
Here are three formats for introducing them.
Format choices, when you know the name of the author when you don't know the name
of the author, and when you want to add information about the author.
some of you still had issues with your insight citations, for your outlines.
Okay.
So it's very similar to our summaries, right?
you don't have to have the name of the article but for your summaries you do.
>> [INAUDIBLE]
15:18
So in the article or in the article Clark 2010 wrote and
Okay?
Another one which we've gone through before Okay, I just skipped a lot.
15:36
Yeah, so this is choice one is at the bottom of page 81,
>> Yes.
15:49
>> We're going to stay in the simple present.
Okay, all of your paraphrases should be in the simple present because it's research
>> Yeah.
>> It will.
17:41
And then the last one, putting it in the middle,
Okay?
>> Hm?
Parenthesis.
18:06
>> Okay, so when it goes at the beginning it goes next to it.
If it's going at the end, then it's actually going next to it too, right?
18:33
>> Page number only when you're quoting, yes.
most of the time it's when you're paraphrasing you don't need to have.
>> Okay.
>> All right, when you don't know the author, what do you use?
>> Title.
Okay?
So, if you going to state this person again you don't need to include
19:20
Clerk, director of college success program if ones in university Wrote that students
But, you don't always have to include this additional information about the source.
All right, we're having way too much fun and I know.
Okay, page 83

And again, I told you Advanced Two Reading and Writing is not the best,
Who's having?
Yeah?
Is it good?
All right, so then there is the quoting verbs, this section breaks it down for
that sometimes you can change the quoting verb, they have different functions, okay?
So, for example, if your neutral or you're just stating what husband said,
0:48
If you agree or disagree, or it's an argument,
you can change the verb to fit where it's coming from.
You're going to want to make sure you use the right kind of verb when you're talking
about studies.
When it's about statistical information or research or do you remember world publics?
1:49
The survey found, or World Publics found,
you're going to want to use this if it's a survey.
Yes.
Maybe later?
All right.
You stoked?
Is Karen excited?
Karen?
FInally.
3:20
It likes me.
is one reason why young and old people become isolated from each other.
Okay?
So Fatima, being.
the nation continues it through their lives, until they become old.
It happened throughout their lives as, since childhood and on, and
4:31
With evidence, right?
>> Yes.
>> Okay, so Margret Mead, 1971.
Some of the values are very prominent and have been prominent for two hundred years.
An American anthropologist, so
Writes in her article grandparents have copped out that people don't want
>> Evidence.
5:10
Independent, right?
>> Independence.
>> Independence!
Okay, so your evidence is supporting what you're trying to say.
5:32
And then after it.
Waleed.
5:37
>> That is, all people do not want to
>> Mm-hm.
>> Young people also believe that their lives will be better
6:05
That the old people don't want to bother their children, sort of the example,
right?
Abdul Herman.
Maybe a negative view of it, but it's another way to say it.
So a lot of times you're going to be using synonyms and other ways to say it.
Pooling all that information together at the end of the concluding sentence.
7:25
Pablo.
In this paragraph.
The evidence is given to includes the name of the author, the article,
the file which is optional, and some information about the author.
The writer.
We want only the last name of the author, yeah, when the source is introduced.
after so the evidence can flow into the next paragraph, okay.
Think of it that way that anyone can just pick this up, read it and understand it.
>> Right, it is about your major, but if I wanted to learn about your major,
Pretend your teacher is an 18 year old undergrad who has no clue what she wants
to study, and she wants to learn about all of this information about technology and
globalization.
You're supposed to bracket the topic sentence, underline once any sentences or
Which we will get a chance to look at today, or probably tomorrow, a little bit.
All right.
break it down, where does stuff begin and where does stuff end?
Yes.
11:21
Yes, that's a bracket, that's a parentheses, that's double lines.
You don't need my text [LAUGH] You can help each other.
11:50
We can talk after class about tomorrow, okay?

I'm going to need this one.

>> Want 30 more seconds?
13:29
Yes.
13:42
Look at me when you're done.

If you act like you are, maybe sometimes it'll actually, you'll be excited, right.
a bracket.
Abdullah.
>> [INAUDIBLE]
14:49
>> So we have the first characteristic of
Okay, so we don't really know what's going to happen when you do an activity.
So you're uncertain.
When you're uncertain about something you don't know if it's going to be good or
bad, right?
>> Yes.
>> That's the evidence, until we get in other words before it.
>> All right, so we've circled the title of the article and the name of the author.
And then I'm putting parentheses around the quote that is used and
15:49
>> Parentheses, okay, so it's parentheses, that, right?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
The key here, and all the way to, this is hard.
[LAUGH] And then underlining with the wavy line in the conclusion even
Like that?
17:04
I only had to do it once, I did it twice on the other one.
[LAUGH] That's my wavy line.
17:21
The name of the article, the author, and the date.
we will build sustaining confidence, not by taking away threatening risk, but
17:36
What does this mean?
can involve trying to accomplish something we are not sure we are capable of.
They kind of put it into their own words, it doesn't look the same,
And then this, the key, meaning what's the true meaning of this,
Here is that we try and succeed in doing something that is not easy for us to do.
It does not have to be dangerous, we just don't know how to do it, right?
No, it's a little challenging, but it's a good challenge for you, right?
Trying something new, even if its small, trying a new food, right?
It's still risky, it might hurt your stomach, you don't really know,
18:55
This points out in the second characteristics,
this also points out to a second characteristic of risk.
19:03
Semicolon, meaning these are directly connected, right, they're not contrasting.
>> Challenging.
19:37
>> A conclusion or a transition.
>> This one is and or, I think it's more of

[MUSIC]
You're going to need that transition into the next supporting sub topic of
So, what I'm advising, you don't have to follow my advice constantly,
but if you have, if it's just one paragraph about that one supporting point,
use a concluding sentence.
0:55
>> To transition into it, to make the connection.
0:59
All right.
>> In the second paragraph where you have the supporting point,
>> You can pull it all together, it depends on how long it is and
If you have a lot of evidence and I need to process all of that evidence,
yes, I would try to pull it all together those two paragraphs, okay?
If it's not a lot of evidence and it was not, do you know what I mean?
I'm going to need the concluding sentence for my brain to pull it all together.
2:13
Again, going back to the world publics, we had paraphrased it, right?
When we first started working with it, and it's a survey, right?
2:25
Remember, the world public article we looked at last week?
2:33
If I'm going to paraphrase that, would I include the information that is a survey?
>> No.
>> Why?
Why wouldn't I?
2:49
So, when you're introducing into your evidence in supporting paragraph,
2:58
So, for example, if it's a research conducted,
So, for example, when we did, does the internet make you dumb or smarter,
when they told you about that research, they said that it was a study, right?
So yes, you do need to introduce what kind of evidence it is, that it is a survey.
All right.
Or Raza?
Is excited?
>> Yeah.
>> I think Mohammed's very excited, but I think Daphne really wants to read for me.
3:51
>> Yes.
As you integrate a piece of evidence from a source into your brain,
4:37
So, it makes sense to the reader.
You guys are trying to integrate into American academic life, right?
Integral?
An adjective.
Yes.
All right.
Mad?
The fad?
5:54
The fad is even more common and even more difficult to get rid of than expected.
turned out to be even more insidious and widespread than previously thought.
What trend?
No, so, if you paraphrase, the fad is even more common and difficult to get
rid of than expected, would I have any clue what you're talking about?
6:19
Remember, when we talked about, does the Internet make you dumb or smarter,
you would need to talk about that division of attention because of what?
6:36
Remember, does internet make you dumber or smarter, what kind of division?
6:47
>> Distracting. >> Distracting.
Good job.
[SOUND] Yes.
we can see that the paragraph discusses how more and more people
all over the world are becoming overweight by eating American fast food, okay.
7:20
A good paraphrase will explain this.
Yes, your teacher has memorized the articles in the text book.
Woo-hoo.
because that was previously said in the article, I need to know that.
Right, Mohammed?
>> Yes.
Woo-hoo.
All right.
So, this one is not good because more common and difficult to get rid of.
But we need to know what the fad, the trend, and the tendency is.
So, you need to explain especially when you have a pronoun reference like these,
and those.
And, those?
What is it referencing?
All right.
9:00
It's just prettier up here.
9:02
All right, so,
write a stronger paraphrase of the section of the following passage that is in bold.
9:09
As you study the weak paraphrase, consider how to include enough
All right.
>> No.
In the actual weak paraphrase below it, you guys are going to write a stronger
one, the weak one doesn't even have the, when we need the citation what do we need?
9:49
>> The name of the author.
Yes.
I will keep asking, and you will keep telling me, and you will love me for it.
You're like, okay, I know last name date, last name date, last name date,
Okay, let's go over the paragraph first before you try so you understand it, okay?
10:13
This year's report focuses on the growing global consumer class defined as
individuals whose purchasing power parity in local, my god this is hard to read.
It's the main reason there are more than one million cellphone in the world today.
10:53
Okay, so the weak said,
that's why there are currently more than one million cellphone worldwide.
A growing what?
11:05
>> Consumer class.
11:09
>> Around the world.
So, you need to understand the information before it's the main reason, right.
A growing what?
11:20
Consumer class, consumerism okay?
So, working together, figure out how you can paraphrase that where you include
you need to include enough information so why know the reason why, okay?
We're good?
12:08
What's wrong?
>> Quickly.
>> Quickly.
Sorry.
12:31
Translate.
Which word?
the consumer?
>> It's easy to understand the two words, but the two words together.
>> Yeah, so the consumer class is the group of people who are buying stuff.
>> Yeah, buying.
>> Right, so then this consumer class is the reason why people have what?
13:17
They have that phone, it's called virtue, they sell it around
>> Well, what used to be expensive was a satellite phone where you could use it
You know when you go in the middle of nowhere and there's no towers?
Yes?
13:44
>> Yeah.
14:04
[NOISE] I've hit this a couple of times, I can [INAUDIBLE].
14:31
Don't know if we're going to get to everything.
14:49
Okay?
You good?
>> Right, so you're just trying to pull out what that main
>> Okay.
>> Here he said,
>> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but what if I said, who they're purchasing?
Is there a difference?
Yeah.
16:11
All right, good?
>> In Spanish.
>> I know, but [FOREIGN].
All right.
16:33
All right.
>> Knickerbocker.
>> Knickerbocker.
>> 2004.
>> 2004.
>> No.
>> Someone?
16:57
>> If the intact citation, all you need is the last name.
17:01
That's on the last page as you need the last name comma first initial for
Good job.
The point of the exercise is that you are paraphrasing this point but to paraphrase
this point, you need to include a little bit of this information to frame it.
18:18
Okay, let's listen to Fatima and then to Karen.
18:22
>> The process of making and use a more efficient
18:56
>> The increase of consumption, or the increase in the ability to consume,
because you talk about the fact that focuses on growing global consumer class.
because they have that ability, that's why there are one billion cellphone users.
You can use first and last if you want to, but it's just easier to use the last name.
textbook?
>> [INAUDIBLE]
Help us translate!
0:09
Okay.
That's the last name conference, it still means, yeah.
So like, if that's just like in, well yeah, your citation page, last name,
you're going to see names listed sometimes with the last name
0:31
comma the first, never the first name comma the second.
0:38
>> Okay, so for me I'd be listed Foltz, Karen never Karen, Foltz.
0:49
Okay. Did that help?
All right.
All right.
Okay.
I don't know if we're going to get.
Okay.
Okay.
I want to get through the last section but this PDF doesn't have it.
So do you want?
Homework.
you'll get some experience we'll talk about dumping evidence tomorrow.
All right.
2:13
>> Thank you.
>> Okay.
All right.
2:29
Right, so what I want you to do right now, look at the first supporting paragraph.
The authors, the date, the quotes, the paraphrase of the quotes,
84.
3:06
Here's the breakdown.
3:09
Go through this example right here, and
3:28
Another CE for the Connecting Explanation.
All right.
3:41
Yes. You can put TS.
explanation.
3:58
E for evidence, but mark it, okay?
A P for paraphrase.
Okay?
4:56
I'm going to.
5:15
Do you want me to draw or do you want to use the computer?
I can draw.
Okay.
6:13
Okay? They're not that hard.
P.
C E.
6:24
All right the topic sentence, who have I not heard from today?
>> [INAUDIBLE]
6:42
>> Renewable, so this is our TS right?
From here to here is our topic sentence.
The wind?
>> The wind turbines are very expensive, but many countries prefer to use wind
turbines because the wind turbines will not harm the environment.
And the one example he's talking about are wind turbine.
7:18
Connecting explanation.
Renewable energy.
Okay?
So, this is not going to be a perfect paper, this was a student's paper.
8:01
The three names, because it's the first time you're introducing it,
8:05
as much as I remember, you don't use that.
you use the ampersand when it it's in the after the paraphrase.
In other words.
Okay, when you're introducing your paraphrase,
you're going to use the phrase in other words after your quotes.
8:53
In short, transition word, helps a little bit to introduce that concluding part.
Okay? So-
9:34
After class, go home.
I'm going to give you a checklist, we're going to double check, and
do a peer review.
I'll be here to answer some questions about your first one, and
Come back tomorrow with finishing, at least, one of your supporting paragraphs
and other comments you have about your outlines, okay?
>> Quiz.
So, it's going to be does the internet make you dumber or smarter?
Page 197.
The thesis is going to include the thesis itself maybe the sentence after that.
Okay.
So go back to the main point of that article.
Okay?
And then come talk to me tomorrow during class because we should have enough time,
Okay?
All right, have a good night, and then yeah remember connecting explanation,
>> Bye.
[NOISE]
