After getting some great feedback from teachers, here are a few notes regarding the content of this video: • Although the text is referred to as a "story" in the example, Of Mice & Men should be formally referred to as a novella. • Contexts and explanations can be of varying length. Our example uses two sentences for each; if this guide is being used for an in-class assignment, your teacher may ask you to include less or more. • This example begins a sentence with "This shows that..." in the explanation. Since it is obvious that the writer is explaining the previous piece of evidence, these words are not necessary, and advanced writers should omit them.
Thank you for adding how the words "this shows" are unnecessary. I am trying to get students to realize how they cannot just drop evidence and state "This shows." I'd love it if you had another example showing how to integrate evidence into one's syntax. You video making skills are fantastic!
@@catherinewee4828 Yes, and moreover, the pronoun reference makes the follow up confusing. I tell students to avoid it, or if they are struggling, to specify what the "this" is referencing in their first draft. Some students just can't drop it, so they'll write, "This intentional focus on a solo game suggests xyz"
I showed this video to my sophomore Enrichment students, and it really helped them! I checked their final analysis essays today and wow what a difference--thank you!
Tim created a marvelously relevant and engaging video to help students cite textual evidence. Bravo, Tim! I created a whole lesson and assessment around this video that I share with teachers. Student products are much improved as a result. Thank you, Tim!
When a quotation includes character dialogue, the dialogue is generally surrounded in single-quotes! There are examples in our Formatting Quotations video: th-cam.com/video/ASAxEqlqCnM/w-d-xo.html
I'm curious to see others' opinions on this, but here's my take: In Of Mice & Men, the third-person narrator is omniscient and objective, so the narration can be considered as either the thoughts of the narrator OR the words that Steinbeck has written. Basically, they are equally appropriate in this case. The same could not be said for a text written in the first-person perspective or a poem in which the perspective is unclear; in that case, writing "The narrator states" is much more appropriate, as the narration consists of subjective ideas of a character. Thanks for watching!

What if there's a quote within the quote? Like if you take an excerpt from the text that includes a quote from a character.

Hi: Is it more appropriate to say, "The narrator states" instead of "The author states" or "Steinbeck states"?
I'm curious to see others' opinions on this, but here's my take: In Of Mice & Men, the third-person narrator is omniscient and objective, so the narration can be considered as either the thoughts of the narrator OR the words that Steinbeck has written.
