      Ways to respond

    21. What these students come to realize is that goodarguments are based not on knowledge that only a special class of expertshas access to but on everyday habits of mind that can be isolated, identified,and used by almost anyone.

    36. you need to have a sense ofwhat you want to do with them—that is, how they will support your text atthe particular point where you insert them.

      The quote being used should have a specific place in the essay that supports your text.

    37. what the quotation means,and how the quotation relates to your own text.

      How to use a quotation in your academic writing

    38. quotations are orphans: wordsthat have been taken from their original contexts and that need to beintegrated into their new textual surroundings.

      They need an explanation around them.

    39. Because the meaning of a quotation isobvious to them, many writers assume that this meaning will also be obvious

    58. th toward Zinczenko’s own text and toward the secondparagraph, where the writer begins to establish her own argument.

      First paragraph has own text and leads to her argument

    59. If you want your essay to encompass all threetopics, you'll need to subordinate these three issues to one of Zinczenko’sgeneral claims and then make sure this general claim directly sets up yourown argument.

      Similar to a five paragraph essay

      Find a balance between summarizing and your own ideas.

      Keep the they say in mind and return that

    73. it’s very important to continue to keep thoseideas in view. Readers won’t be able to follow your unfolding response,much less any complications you may offer, unless you keep remindingthem what claims you are responding to.

      Just like Freire in Pedagogy of the Opressed

    74. nother way to open with a debate involves starting with a propositionmany people agree with in order to highlight the point(s) on which theyultimately disagree:

    80. Although we agree that you shouldn’t keep readers in suspense too longabout your central argument, we also believe that you need to present thatargument as part of some larger conversation,

      Find a balance between taking to long to talk about your central argument and presenting your argument as part of a conversation.

    81. The point is to give your readers a quick preview ofwhat is motivating your argument, not to drown them in details right away.

      Details come later.

    82. What we suggest, then, is that as soon as possible youstate your own position and the one it’s responding to together, and that youthink of the two as a unit.

      Your position and the one it responds to should be in the same paragraph.

    83. remember that you areentering a conversation and therefore need to start with “what others aresaying,” as the title of this chapter recommends, and then introduce yourown ideas as a response.

      Topic paragraph should include what others say first, then your ideas
