Marjane Satrapi Persepolis ENGL 2294  Mid-semester goal setting worksheet Today’s General feedback on midterm Chat about your Proposal and Annotated Bibliography agenda assignment Have “the talk” (about plagiarism) Persepolis Midterm feedback Great work in general talking about panel transitions—this really helped your passage analyses! Don’t forget about other comics theory that can be helpful: the style of drawings (iconic, realistic…?), relationship between text and image, amount of detail, etc. Try to connect your analysis of the passage to discussions we’ve had in class about the book as a whole  Many of you made great observations about the passage. Those who got As took their observations further into analysis. For example: You may have mentioned that panel transitions are scene-to-scene when Sophie is writing her poem about Promethea Next step: What does this achieve in terms of plot and the following scene? Next step: How does this section relate to magic or spells or the power of writing? Next step: How does this passage relate to the comic as a whole? Academic sources: -Literary criticism (articles, book chapters) -An entry from the Oxford English Dictionary (OED Online) that sheds light on multiple meanings of a word and helps prove your argument -An encyclopedic entry (from Britannica Online, perhaps) that gives you contextual information -A critical article from a related field that gives you contextual information -Archival sources such as an interview with an author -A theoretical text For your proposal You should annotate and respond to critical articles/books/book chapters (in literary studies or a related field)—although dictionary entries and encyclopedia entries are legitimate research sources, you should find a secondary source for your assignment. You must make clear in your proposal how the article relates to your proposed thesis. Plagiarism What is the basic difference between avoiding plagiarism and committing plagiarism? If you write or speak about your own ideas or common knowledge, this is not plagiarism. If you directly copy or summarize someone else's words or ideas without acknowledging the source, this is plagiarism. https://plagiarism.iu.edu/index.html What is common knowledge? Common knowledge typically consists of well-known facts (it would be hard to credit a specific source). For example: The capital of Canada is Ottawa. The United States entered WWII after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. On the other hand, “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" comes from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. You must clearly acknowledge who originally said or wrote those words.  You commit word-for-word plagiarism if your writing or speech: 1. borrows ideas from the original source material, and Word-for-word 2. takes three or more words in sequence from the original source plagiarism material, and 3. lacks: quotation marks surrounding the words taken full in-text citation (author name, page number the bibliographic reference (a Works Cited entry) Paraphrase plagiarism You commit paraphrasing plagiarism if your writing or speech: 1. borrows ideas from the original source material, and 2. does not contain three or more words in sequence taken from the original source material, and 3. lacks: the in-text citation the bibliographic reference Other types: Mosaic plagiarism: finding synonyms for the author’s language while keeping to the same general structure and meaning of the original (mix of word-for-word and paraphrase plagiarism) Patchwork plagiarism: plagiarizing from more than one source at once (weaving together phrases from different authors without properly citing any of them) Self-plagiarism: submitting previous work, or mixing parts of previous works, for assignments in different classes without permission from all instructors involved. Original Source Material Student Version A naïve mental model in the context of One kind of mental model for the computer is computer programming is that a computer is the naïve model.
