Look at each quotation and write two or three sentences on each one. Would you use it in the paragraph? Why or why not? Would you paraphrase, summarize, or quote the passage? Why?
Please identify each passage by its author.

Sloan- Yes I would use it in the paragraph because he is a trusted authoritative figure in the football world, as coach of Texas Tech. I would paraphrase his quote.
ReplyDeleteBrown- I would not use this in the paragraph because this quote is the opposite of all the other points- anti recruiting where as the rest of the sources are talking about how recruiting is necessary.
Bryant- I would use this quote, the reason the same as above. It would create a stronger paragraph and get the readers thinking-possibly changing their mind to how you feel. I would use a direct quote.
Denlinger-I would use this in the paragraph as a direct quote becasue i feel it creates a point and is stronger as a direct quote than if we changed it by summarizing or paraphrasing.
Evans- I would summarize this, but make it clearer for the reader to be able to understand the connections the source is trying to make.
Foundation-I would summarize this source, making it around the same length. I feel it is too long for a quote, but a summary would make it useful in the paragraph.
Durso- I would use these as examples in the paragraph, proving the point on recruiting in sports. I would paraphrase each of the examples in the paragraph- too long for a direct quote and too much important stuff to shorten into a paraphrase
Sloan – I would not use because it is the odd ball out of the rest of the group of quotes.
ReplyDeleteBrown- I would quote
Bryant – I would quote
Denlinger – I would summarize, since the focus should be on the fact that recruiting lessens the importance of a good coach
Evans –summarize about how recruiting happens in all areas and maybe paraphrase the part about recruiting Jamaicans
Carnegie Foundation –Paraphrase to show that more recruiting = less focus on education
Durso – I would summarize this to show that recruiting can get so out of hand that it can be illegal and show that grades and education lose importance
Sloan - I would quote the "alumni firing squad" because it is a powerful phrase. However, the rest of the quote can be paraphrased or left out.
ReplyDeleteBrown - I would not quote both sentences. If talking about the negative effects of recruiting,I would quote or use "recruiting is getting to be cancerous."
Bryant - I think this quote is very powerful and can definitely be used in the paragraph. It can also be paraphrased, but I think it will be more effective as a quote.
Denlinger - This quote is very wordy and confusing at points. The metaphor of a tactitian and a man with no coaching skills is important though.
Evans - I wouldn't use this quote, I would maybe state that recruiting is occuring in all sport instead. I think the other quotes are more powerful than this one.
Carnegie Foundation - I would not use thisquote either. I think a better option would be to paraphrase or summarize because it is too wordy. I would instead say that coaches are overlooking the educational aspect of a studnt and looking more at their athletic ability.
Durso - I would not use this quote because it is too long. It also states two different cases about recruiting which can be summarized that recruiting has been occuring for a long time and the ethics have not always been important.
Sloan- I would use this source, and do a partial quote.
ReplyDeleteBrown-I wouldn't use this source
Bryant-I would use this source, and quote it in it's entirety. I would probably position this source so that it was at the opening or the closing of the paragraph, I think it makes a very strong, clear point.
Denlinger-I think I would use this source, however I would not quote it, I would most likely paraphrase or do a partial quote; the source is too wordy
Evans-If I did choose to use this, it would be in the form of a summary and possibly in conjunction with the Durso source, to prove that recruiting has been around since the beginning of collegiate athletics, and is present in every sport.
Carnegie-I wouldn't use this source, it wouldn't fit well into my paragraph (assuming I am making the case for pro-recruitment)
If I chose to do a paragraph in refutation, I would use this source in the form of a summary
Durso- I would summarize this source to prove that recruiting has existed as long as college athletics
Sloan- Gives insight on importance, has some good language. partial quote.
ReplyDeleteBrown- No quote. Maybe paraphrase.
Bryant- Quote. Excellent sentence
Denlinger- Partial quote/ paraphrase
Evans- Wouldn't use. Gives no information.
Carnegie Foundation-summarize
Durso- sumarize main idea. too much detail;
Sloan - use part of his quote, something about the crux or the firing squad for imagery.
ReplyDeleteBrown - at most the word "cancerous," but probably just paraphrased. cancerous is a good word, and gets point across well.
Bryant - use the whole quote, it's concise and well said. shows intelligence of (some) coaches
Denlinger - probably go "It is an athletic maxim that . . . a tactician without talented players is a man soon without a job." middle section unneeded and wordy.
Evans - don't use, it's irrelevant.
Carnegie - summary, commercialism and decline in respect for education. Use this to show how long the problem has existed.
Durso - summary, players exempt from academic standards and paid to play. Use in tandem with point above to show how long problem has existed.
