Sample Essay for Summarizing Paraphrasing and Quoting Summary This handout is intended to help you become more comfortable with the uses of and distinctions among quotations paraphrases and summaries This handout compares and contrasts the three terms gives some pointers and includes a short excerpt that you can use to practice these skills The following is a sample essay you can practice quoting paraphrasing and summarizing Examples of each task are provided at the end of the essay for further reference Here is the citation for Siphers essay Sipher Roger So That Nobody Has to Go to School If They Dont Want To The New York Times 19 Dec 1977 p 31 So That Nobody Has To Go To School If They Dont Want To by Roger Sipher A decline in standardized test scores is but the most recent indicator that American education is in trouble One reason for the crisis is that present mandatoryattendance laws force many to attend school who have no wish to be there Such children have little desire to learn and are so antagonistic to school that neither they nor more highly motivated students receive the quality education that is the birthright of every American The solution to this problem is simple Abolish compulsoryattendance laws and allow only those who are committed to getting an education to attend This will not end public education Contrary to conventional belief legislators enacted compulsoryattendance laws to legalize what already existed William Landes and Lewis Solomon economists found little evidence that mandatoryattendance laws increased the number of children in school They found too that school systems have never effectively enforced such laws usually because of the expense involved There is no contradiction between the assertion that compulsory attendance has had little effect on the number of children attending school and the argument that repeal would be a positive step toward improving education Most parents want a high school education for their children Unfortunately compulsory attendance hampers the ability of public school officials to enforce legitimate educational and disciplinary policies and thereby make the education a good one Private schools have no such problem They can fail or dismiss students knowing such students can attend public school Without compulsory attendance public schools would be freer to oust students whose academic or personal behavior undermines the educational mission of the institution Has not the noble experiment of a formal education for everyone failed While we pay homage to the homily You can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink we have pretended it is not true in education Ask high school teachers if recalcitrant students learn anything of value Ask teachers if these students do any homework Quite the contrary these students know they will be passed from grade to grade until they are old enough to quit or until as is more likely they receive a high school diploma At the point when students could legally quit most choose to remain since they know they are likely to be allowed to graduate whether they do acceptable work or not Abolition of archaic attendance laws would produce enormous dividends First it would alert everyone that school is a serious place where one goes to learn Schools are neither daycare centers nor indoor street corners Young people who resist learning should stay away indeed an end to compulsory schooling would require them to stay away Second students opposed to learning would not be able to pollute the educational atmosphere for those who want to learn Teachers could stop policing recalcitrant students and start educating Third grades would show what they are supposed to how well a student is learning Parents could again read report cards and know if their children were making progress Fourth public esteem for schools would increase People would stop regarding them as way stations for adolescents and start thinking of them as institutions for educating Americas youth Fifth elementary schools would change because students would find out early they had better learn something or risk flunking out later Elementary teachers would no longer have to pass their failures on to junior high and high school Sixth the cost of enforcing compulsory education would be eliminated Despite enforcement efforts nearly 15 percent of the schoolage children in our largest cities are almost permanently absent from school Communities could use these savings to support institutions to deal with young people not in school If in the long run these institutions prove more costly at least we would not confuse their mission with that of schools Schools should be for education At present they are only tangentially so They have attempted to serve an allencompassing social function trying to be all things to all people In the process they have failed miserably at what they were originally formed to accomplish Example Summary Paraphrase and Quotation from the Essay Example summary Roger Sipher makes his case for getting rid of compulsoryattendance laws in primary and secondary schools with six arguments These fall into three groupsfirst that education is for those who want to learn and by including those that dont want to learn everyone suffers Second that grades would be reflective of effort and elementary school teachers wouldnt feel compelled to pass failing students Third that schools would both save money and save face with the elimination of compulsoryattendance laws Example paraphrase of the essays conclusion Roger Sipher concludes his essay by insisting that schools have failed to fulfill their primary duty of education because they try to fill multiple social functions par 17 Example quotation According to Roger Sipher a solution to the perceived crisis of American education is to Abolish compulsoryattendance laws and allow only those who are committed to getting an education to attend par 3 Purdue OWL

one reason why journal articles get rejected writers block cant writewont write signposting your journal articles and chapters Posted on September 18 2011 by pat thomson Many early journal writers are asked to put more signposting into their articles Indeed journal editors often list lack of signposting as a reason for requesting revisions So what is signposting and why is it needed Signposting is the construction of a road map to the contents and argument of an article chapter or thesis It is a particular kind of metanarrative which allows the reader to understand the intentions of the writer and to understand the ways in which the text will proceed The use of signposting is one of the rhetorical strategies that make the English tradition of academic argument recognisable from other kinds of writing Together with citations signposts signal to the reader that what they are reading is not journalism not fiction but scholarly writing It is important to note that not all cultural traditions of academic writing use signposts in this way and some may actually find it insulting to be told ahead of time what is to come When approaching the writing of an articlechapter it is helpful to think of there being two narratives that need to be constructed the substantive argument of the articlechapter and the metacommentary about the way that the argument is to be presented Writing signposts is analogous to what happens in formal debates when the opening speaker says something like Our team is going to argue that I will begin by presenting evidence that the second speaker will add to this by focusing on The third speaker will provide The second speaker then begins their speech by saying The first speaker argued that I will and they then restate what they will do And at the end of the debate the lead person will say We have argued that we have presented evidence that this shows that This set of verbal signposts is While journal signposting is not quite as tedious as the continued statements and restatements of the argument that occur in formal debates something of the same work is done at the beginning and ending of an article and may also need to be done once or twice in the middle It is usual for an article introduction to create the research space locate the work and then provide the map I am sure that like me you will find many published articles that are short on signposting This is testimony to the fact that lack of signposting may not be something which knocks an article out of contention for publication There are neverthless two reasons for putting in a signposting metacommentary The first is that putting signposts in removes the possibility that a reviewer will use absence as a possible reason for requiring corrections The second is that the signpost provides not only a road map for the reader but also one for you as a writer In setting out the way in which the article will proceed and why it is as it is you provide yourself with a way of keeping check on where you are going why and how There is no format for signposting and it would be very tedious if there was Despite this it is helpful to look at articles and chapters to see how writers have managed the task of signposting Here are three examples from some of my own writings Example One Poverty creates particular challenges for both positional leadermanagers and functional leaders Kugelmass 2004 who are charged with reforming the schools that serve neighborhoods made poor These are the challenges of dealing with the everyday realities of lives in poverty the challenges of the material realities of disadvantaged schools and the challenges of making a difference This chapter addresses each in turn and subsequently considers some consequences for leadermanagers This signposting lays out the four sections of the chapter to come Example Two In this paper we present a case to illustrate the possibilities of a policy analysis which works outwards from a single instance and one school It mobilises a spatial theory which specifically addresses scales of activities and offers one possible lens on the relationships between the vernacular and the small and the larger society The case we consider is an answer to the what is going on here question that arose for us while considering the microtransactions of the lived experiences of contemporary secondary schooling in England these were documented in a study which used ethnographic methods to explore the processes of vernacular school change This paper does not address our specific project which examined the ways in which schools took up the cultural offer made by Creative Partnerships Jones and Thomson 2008 Thomson Jones and Hall 2009 Thomson and Sanders 2009 Thomson et al 2009 but instead rereads an example of data that consistently appeared in our field notes The case introduces a young woman we have called Maggie and her friends Using data generated from an ethnographic fragment and field notes from one days observation in a single school site we show the everyday lives of Maggie her friends and their teachers through the spacetime of one day in the life of topset Year 10 pupils In order to make sense of this data and to generate understandings of the social and specific policy production of this series of events we mobilise the trilectics of spatial theorist Lefebvre 1971 1991 We begin by introducing Lefebvres social theory before explaining something of our empirical project We provide a summary of Maggies school day using selected field notes before going on to a theoretically informed discussion of the ways in which Maggie and her friends negotiated both academic tasks and social identity work within the confines of their school day In this introduction the intention of the paper is established in paragraph one The second paragraph notes the methodological and theoretical lens that will be used in the paper while the third paragraph outlines the order in which the sections of the argument are to be presented Example Three Following Bourdieus argument about the socialpersonal I seek in this paper to focus on an important aspect of my own professional life that of the position of the headteacher In particular I am interested in the ways in which headteachers continue to not only support but also actively lobby for more and more autonomy I use my own experiences as pointers to readings of the field and an analysis of the headteachers game I speculate about the reasons for this play in the schooling field My primary purpose in beginning with the apparently personal is following Bourdieu to locate the I begin in Part A with the evidence that headteachers desire and work for an apparent everincreasing autonomy This signposting signals the intention of the paper and something of the basis on which it has been written both methodological and theoretical It also provides a clear statement of what will happen in the first section The next section continues the signposting in more detail Part A the phenomenon of headteacher desire for autonomy In this section I present evidence that policy shifts to extend school autonomy have been accompanied by expressions of headteacher satisfaction and also the desire for still further extension of apparent freedoms I suggest that these headteacher behaviours are relatively constant over a relatively long period of time across school sectors and in several different places although I mainly discuss Australia and England In making this generalisation I do not want to suggest that this means that there are no differences between sectors systems and times Rather I want to argue after Bourdieu that headteachers are disposed by virtue of the game they are in to press for more authority and that this has been a relative constant in the field despite the relative autonomies of timespace This desire I suggest in conclusion is important to understanding the logic of much of their practice I thus present a selection of evidence spread over time space and sectors to illustrate this point In this section I have also highlighted the kinds of verbs that signal the argumentative work that the reader will encounter This is a furthering of the metacommentary on the moves that will be made Papers cited 1 THOMSON P 2010
