The Extravagant vision of Sister Antonia McHugh and the Irelands Sisters Order Description RTW SUMMARY PARAGRAPH CARROLL ( Text book : The Catherin" rel="nofollow">ine core reader by Cecilla Konchar farr, martha m. phillips, nancy A. Heitzeg) In this unit you read two historical selections from The Catherin" rel="nofollow">ine CORE Reader about the early years of the college and one particularly in" rel="nofollow">influential woman, Sister Antonia McHugh. For this writin" rel="nofollow">ing assignment you will choose the Carroll (p. 15) or Ryan/Wolkerstorfer (p. 33) essay and write a one-paragraph summary in" rel="nofollow">in the RTW format. Complete this worksheet in" rel="nofollow">in preparation for writin" rel="nofollow">ing your paragraph. Deposit both in" rel="nofollow">in the Dropbox by the due date. STEP 1: Select the readin" rel="nofollow">ing you will summarize and review the annotations or text notes that you wrote while readin" rel="nofollow">ing it. What were some of the big ideas or impressions that struck you while you read? Did anythin" rel="nofollow">ing surprise you about these early years? How did the early leaders set the tone for what was to come? Jot down 8-10 observations about the readin" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in the space below:STEP 2: Look over your list of ideas and prioritize them. Which 3 of these ideas are the most important, compellin" rel="nofollow">ing or in" rel="nofollow">interestin" rel="nofollow">ing? State each of these ideas in" rel="nofollow">in a short phrase below: 1. 2. 3. STEP 3: Write a Topic Sentence that will in" rel="nofollow">introduce your reader to the big ideas you’ll present in" rel="nofollow">in your paragraph. To begin" rel="nofollow">in your topic sentence, you may want to use a subordin" rel="nofollow">inatin" rel="nofollow">ing conjunction from the RTW Essay Writin" rel="nofollow">ing Checklist. For example: Due to Sister Antonia McHugh’s strong leadership, the College of St. Catherin" rel="nofollow">ine became known for X, Y and Z. STEP 4: Each of your 3 big ideas, “X, Y and Z,” will become a Claim. For example, maybe one of my big ideas is about beauty. I would write a complete sentence about this: First, St. Catherin" rel="nofollow">ine has always been known for the beauty of its St. Paul campus. Next, each claim needs Evidence to back it up. Use a direct quotation from the book to illustrate the truth of your claim. For the claim about beauty I could fin" rel="nofollow">ind a sentence that talks about the architectural beauty of the chapel buildin" rel="nofollow">ing, or the attention that is paid to the landscapin" rel="nofollow">ing of the pond and flowers. Put the sentence in" rel="nofollow">in quotation marks followed by the page number in" rel="nofollow">in parentheses, followed by a period to end that sentence. You can use a signal phrase to in" rel="nofollow">introduce the quotation: Accordin" rel="nofollow">ing to Carroll, “Blah blah blah” (p. 17). Fin" rel="nofollow">inally, each claim also needs a Rationale sentence, which follows the quote. Why is this in" rel="nofollow">information important? What is significant about it? The rationale sentence is where you get to in" rel="nofollow">interpret/expand/connect the in" rel="nofollow">information. My rationale for this example might be how this attention to beauty sends a message about excellence or high standards to anyone who comes to campus. Your rationale connects directly to the claim and evidence for the CER (Claim—Evidence—Rationale) set. Use this process for all 3 of your big ideas. ( Must have a total of 9 column) claim 1, evidence, rationale claim 2, evidence,rationale, claim 3, evidence 3, rationale 3 STEP 5: Now you need a Concludin" rel="nofollow">ing Sentence to wrap up the paragraph. Briefly acknowledge the big ideas that you discussed in" rel="nofollow">in the paragraph, but say it in" rel="nofollow">in a slightly new way. It will be an echo of the Topic Sentence, and puts a nice fin" rel="nofollow">inishin" rel="nofollow">ing touch on your paragraph. ( concludin" rel="nofollow">ing sentence in" rel="nofollow">in column) STEP 6: Now you are ready to pull all of these sentences in" rel="nofollow">into your RTW paragraph. There will be 11 sentences: Topic Sentence + 3 CER sets + Concludin" rel="nofollow">ing Sentence. It helps your reader to in" rel="nofollow">include transition words before each claim; it calls attention to the movement from one big idea to the next. You can use simple transitions like “first, second, third” – or you can provide more variety. “The next defin" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing characteristic of Sister Antonia’s leadership is . . . “ STEP 7: You must in" rel="nofollow">include a Reference for the quoted material. This will in" rel="nofollow">include the author and title of the selection, along with the full citation for The Catherin" rel="nofollow">ine CORE Reader book. You can use either APA or MLA citation style, whichever is preferred by your academic program. Most of the programs at St. Kate’s Min" rel="nofollow">inneapolis campus use APA. Information on how to cite sources usin" rel="nofollow">ing either format is located under the Resources Module.
