Kantz Discussion

10 comments:

  1. 1)"Although the researched essay as a topic has been much written about, it has been little studied." (Kantz, 1990,p.74)
    2)"Since the only comments Shirley could think of would be to agree or disagree with her sources, who had told her everything she knew about the battle of Agincourt, she did not comment on the material; instead, she concentrated on telling the story clearly and more completely than her sources had done." (Kantz, 1990, p. 75).
    3)"To write a synthesis, Shirley may or ma not need quote, summarize or select material from her sources; to evaluate the sources for bias, accuracy, or completeness; to develop original ideas; or to persuade a reader." (Kantz, 1990,p.76).

    -Alice is said to be an expert. Could be an experienced writer.
    Shirley is a typical college student with average academic preparation.
    -The advise she gave Shirley was to use the material based on her research as proof in an original argument. To invent an original problem and purpose for a paper and to create an original structure for her argument.

    "This version of the task would allow Shirley to keep the narrative structure of her paper but would give her an original argument and purpose" (Kantz, 1990, pg. 77).

    First of all, is intelligent and well motivated. She is a native speaker of English. She has no extraordinary knowledge deficits or emotional problems

    Shirley seems to have everything going for her, she experiences difficulty with assignments that require her to write

    When she was in first grade she knew how to and tell stories. During her academic life, Shirley learned studying skills as finding main ideas and facts.

    . When students refer to a textbook
    as "the story," they are telling us that they read for plot and character, regardless
    of whether their texts are organized as narratives. One reason Shirley
    loves history is that when she reads it she can combine her story-reading strategies
    with her studying strategies."
    Shirley uses her reading and studying strategies to organize her work and information. She also uses the library as a source in order to be able to organize her work more clearly.
    She uses time-based organizing patterns no matter the task, no matter how conflict the pattern is, regardless of what they are just trying to say and how more sophisticated the strategy is

    Difficulties: 1. citation format 2. Coordination of source of material 3. Writing a synthesis can be difficult depending on the source.
    Direct quotation: "Feeling unhappy about her grade, Shirley consulted her friend Alice" (Kantz,1990, p.76).
    Explanation: she didn't like her grade she thought she wrote a good essay, so she was disappointed and went to her friend for advice.
