5 Preface The Chicago Academy High School Writing Manual is the result of a project led by the English Department with the collaboration of the Social Studies, Math, Science, Art, and Foreign Language departments. The purpose of this manual is to provide a resource for CAHS students, parents, and teachers to use as a reference on writing assignments and as a supplementary classroom resource. Included in this manual are the most commonly used rubrics for major writing assignments, a glossary of commonly used writing terminology, and a proofreading guide. Close study of these documents will reveal the scope of writing skills students are expected to master from freshman to senior year as they prepare for college. This document is not comprehensive, however. Individual teachers assign additional or modified requirements depending on the discipline, the course, and the specific assignment. 1

7 Communicating Clearly General Checklist Students & Parents: Use the checklist below to help edit and revise a writing assignment BEFORE turning it in to the teacher. This checklist will help catch those general mistakes commonly made in a first draft, allowing the teacher to focus on refining an essay s writing style and content. o o o o o Language Elements Grammar Elements Sentence Elements I used spell check on the o All my sentences begin o I reread my sentences computer as my first test with a capital letter. aloud to check that they for spelling errors. o All of my sentences follow say what I want them to I wrote in 3rd person point the subject verb object say. of view. format. o I read my sentences to The words are o All my sentences end with another to check for sophisticated and used an appropriate end mark understanding. correctly. o All my sentences have a o Several of my sentences It is evident that I am most verb and a subject. are varied and don t follow precise in my choice of o Verb and subject agree in the subject verb- object words in several instances number, tense and person format. in this paper. o In each paragraph I varied I often use language rules the length and type of to draw the reader s sentences. attention to my message, o yet don t distract the reader. I employ elements of syntax throughout (Word Order, Sentence Length, Sentence Focus, Repetition, Punctuation). TERMS TO REMEMBER: Subject: the person, place, thing, or idea performing the action in a sentence. The bold word in the sentence below is the subject. Verb: the action or state of being in a sentence. The italicized word in the sentence below is a verb. Object: the person, place, thing, or idea receiving the action in a sentence. The underlined word in the sentence below is an object. My lab partner measured the liquid carefully. Sentences that follow the pattern above (subject-verb-object) are the clearest and simplest sentences in the English language. To make writing more sophisticated, a writer can rearrange the parts of the sentence, combine sentences, or add clauses to the sentence. 3
8 Grade Level Writing Conventions Rubrics What follows are rubrics detailing how students are expected to write at each grade level. With the exception of 9th grade, these rubrics are indicative of the writing students will be able to do by the Spring of that school year. Therefore, expect that students may start at the lower end of the rubric in Fall, and steadily progress as the year continues.

14 The Style Guides: MLA & APA
15 MLA Formatting Guidelines 1 Summary: MLA (Modern Language Association) style is most commonly used to write papers and cite sources for English classes and most Social Studies classes. This resource, updated to reflect the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (7th ed.) and the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing (3rd ed.), offers examples for the general format of MLA research papers, in-text citations, endnotes/footnotes, and the Works Cited page. (Contributors:Tony Russell, Allen Brizee, Elizabeth Angeli, Russell Keck) MLA style specifies guidelines for formatting manuscripts and using the English language in writing. MLA style also provides writers with a system for referencing their sources through parenthetical citation in their essays and Works Cited pages. Writers who properly use MLA also build their credibility by demonstrating accountability to their source material. Most importantly, the use of MLA style can protect writers from accusations of plagiarism, which is the purposeful or accidental uncredited use of source material by other writers. If you are asked to use MLA format, be sure to consult the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (7th edition). The MLA Handbook is available in most writing centers and reference libraries; it is also widely available in bookstores, libraries, and at the MLA web site. 1.

16 Paper Format: The preparation of papers and manuscripts in MLA style is covered in chapter four of the MLA Handbook, and chapter four of the MLA Style Manual. Below are some basic guidelines for formatting a paper in MLA style. General Guidelines: Type your paper on a computer and print it out on standard, white 8.5 x 11- inch paper. Double-space the text of your paper by changing the paragraph spacing (not by hitting Enter twice), and use a legible font (e.g. Times New Roman). Whatever font you choose, MLA recommends that the regular and italics type styles contrast enough that they are recognizable one from another. The font size should be 12 pt. Leave only one space after periods or other punctuation marks (unless otherwise instructed by your instructor).set the margins of your document to 1 inch on all sides. Indent the first line of paragraphs one half-inch from the left margin. MLA recommends that you use the Tab key as opposed to pushing the Space Bar five times. Create a header that numbers all pages consecutively in the upper righthand corner, one-half inch from the top and flush with the right margin. (Note: Your instructor may ask that you omit the number on your first page. Always follow your instructor s guidelines.) Use italics throughout your essay for the titles of longer works and, only when absolutely necessary, providing emphasis. If you have any endnotes, include them on a separate page before your Works Cited page. Entitle the section Notes (centered, unformatted). Formatting the First Page of Your Paper: Do not make a title page for your paper unless specifically requested. In the upper left-hand corner of the first page, list your name, your instructor s name, the course, and the date. Again, be sure to use doublespaced text. Double space again and center the title. Do not underline, italicize, or place your title in quotation marks; write the title in Title Case (standard capitalization), not in all capital letters. Use quotation marks and/or italics when referring to other works in your title, just as you would in your text: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas as Morality Play; Human Weariness in After Apple Picking Double space between the title and the first line of the text. Create a header (Insert: Header) in the upper right-hand corner that includes your last name, followed by a space with a page number; number all pages consecutively with Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.), one-half inch from the top and flush with the right margin. (Note: Your instructor or other readers may ask that you omit last name/page number header on your first page. Always follow instructor guidelines.) 12
17 Sample MLA First Page Catlin 1 Beth Catlin Professor Elaine Bassett English August 2009 Andrew Carnegie: The Father of Middle-Class America For decades Americans couldn t help but love the red-headed, fun-loving Little Orphan Annie. The image of the little girl moving so quickly from poverty to wealth provided hope for the poor in the 1930s, and her story continues to be a dream of what the future just might hold. The rags-to-riches phenomenon is the heart of the American Dream. And few other people have embodied this phenomenon as much as Andrew Carnegie did in the late 1800s and early 1900s. His example and industry caused him to become the father of middle-class America. Andrew Carnegie can be looked to as an ideal example of a poor immigrant making his way up to become leader of the capitalist world. Carnegie was born into a poor working-class family in Scotland. According to the PBS documentary The Richest Man in the World: Andrew Carnegie, the Industrial Revolution was difficult on Carnegie s father, causing him to lose his weaving business. The Carnegie family was much opposed to the idea of a privileged class, who gained their wealth simply by inheritance ( Richest ). This type of upbringing played a large factor in Andrew Carnegie s destiny. In order to appease his mother s desire for material benefits, and perhaps in an effort to heal his father s wounds, Carnegie rejected poverty and cleaved into prosperity. Carnegie s character was ideal for gaining wealth. His mother taught him to look after the pennies, and the pounds will take care of themselves; he later turned this proverb into watch the costs, and the profits take care of themselves ( Richest ). Such thrift was integral to 13

19 APA Formatting Guidelines 1 Summary: APA (American Psychological Association) is most commonly used to cite sources within the social sciences. This resource, revised according to the 6th edition, second printing of the APA manual, offers examples for the general format of APA research papers, in-text citations, endnotes/footnotes, and the reference page. For more information, please consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition, second printing. Contributors: Joshua M. Paiz, Elizabeth Angeli, Jodi Wagner, Elena Lawrick, Kristen Moore, Michael Anderson, Lars Soderlund, Allen Brizee, Russell Keck General APA Guidelines: Your essay should be typed, double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5 x 11 ) with 1 margins on all sides. You should use a clear font that is highly readable. APA recommends using 12 pt. Times New Roman font. Include a page header (also known as the running head ) at the top of every page. To create a page header/running head, insert page numbers flush right. Then type TITLE OF YOUR PAPER in the header flush left using all capital letters. The running head is a shortened version of your paper s title and cannot exceed 50 characters including spacing and punctuation. Major Paper Sections: Your essay should include four major sections: the Title Page, Abstract, Main Body, and References. Title Page: The title page should contain the title of the paper, the author s name, and the institutional affiliation. Include the page header (described above) flush left with the page number flush right at the top of the page. Type your title in upper and lowercase letters centered in the upper half of the page. APA recommends that your title be no more than 12 words in length and that it should not contain abbreviations or words that serve no purpose. Your title may take up one or two lines. All text on the title page, and throughout your paper, should be double-spaced. Beneath the title, type the author s name: first name, middle initial(s), and last name. Do not use titles (Dr.) or degrees (Ph.D.). Beneath the author s name, type the institutional affiliation, which should indicate the location where the author(s) conducted the research. 1.

25 Cover letters accompany your resume as you apply for jobs in the future. You will get specific practice writing cover letters and resumes during your senior year as you apply for internships in Senior Seminar. General Guidelines: 1. Brush up your business writing skills. A cover letter should be formatted like a professional business letter with your full address on the top right, unless you are using letterhead with your address pre-printed. 2. Address the cover letter to the human resource manager, head of the department or the person hiring. Many templates use a generic Dear Sir/ Madam or To Whom It May Concern, but you should exchange the broad phrases for the name of a specific contact person. 3. Check out the company s website before you write your letter. Get a feel for the company and why you would fit in there. You want the reader to get the impression that you took the time to find out as much as you could about the company and position before applying. 4. Write about why you want the position. Since you do not have years of experience to pull facts and figures from, just show your enthusiasm for the industry and the company. This is when all that research you did on the company will come in handy. 5. Point out any special achievements that relate to the position, without repeating your resume. Awards and scholarships may help show you are a viable candidate. 6. Proof your cover letter, perhaps even letting someone else take a look at it before you submit it. Most positions are highly competitive, and your letter should be as perfect as you can make it. 7. Create an individual cover letter for each position you apply for, especially if they are in different industries. You don t want your cover letter to come across as a form letter. Each letter should be custom tailored to the company you re applying with. Tips & Warnings: Don t fret about including experience from college or high school in your cover letter. It is expected. The employer knows that most applicants for an entry level position or internship do not have any direct work experience. Keep copies of each form letter you send. Besides being a great record of which positions you already applied for, the letters can be adapted to apply for future job opportunities. 21

39 WORD Agreement Analyze (SST) APA Formatting Argument (SST) Atmosphere Attention Grabber Attribution Audience Awkward Baby Thesis (SST) Balance Bias Body (P-E-E) Bucket (SST) Category of Analysis (SST) Claim DEFINITION The subject and the verb of a sentence must agree in number. Incorrect: She run a race every day. Correct: She runs a race every day. To interpret APA stands for the American Psychological Association. Use APA guidelines when writing in the social sciences. Consult an APA style manual for specific details. Reason or category analysis that helps prove your claim/thesis See mood The first sentences of your introduction, which grabs the reader s attention. Consider using an interesting fact, a relevant quote, or a short anecdote (a brief narrative of a situation). In journalism, the process of crediting sources within the text of a story. The intended readers of a piece or writing. Knowledge of the audience s needs and expectations helps a writer shape writing so that it is clear, interesting and convincing. A sentence can be considered awkward for many reasons. Common causes of awkward sentences include wordiness, unusual word order, and overuse of the passive voice. Fix awkward sentences by writing precise, concise sentences that follow the typical subject verb--object pattern usually found in Standard English. See English Topic Sentence A topic sentence introducing the category of analysis/bucket/ reason, as it relates to the overall claim/thesis In journalism, the goal of covering all sides of a story as fairly as possible. Biased writing unfairly disparages or characterizes individuals based on disability, gender, race, ethnicity, or sexuality. Bias is usually unintentional but should be avoided. (mnemonic device)in the body of your essay, each paragraph may follow the P-E-E format. P = point, E = Evidence/Example, E= explanation. Your point is your topic sentence or claim. You then support your claim with evidence or examples, and then explain how your evidence or example supports your claim. A group of facts, statistics, or reasons which all support the same overarching idea. You sort the facts in a DBQ into buckets, similar to how you group ideas in English class into paragraphs. See bucket A positive statement or assertion that requires support. Claims are the backbone of any argument (same as Thesis). 35
40 WORD Commentary Compare/Contrast (SST) Conclusion Connotation Counter Argument Creative Writing Dangling Modifier Deductive Reasoning Denotation DEFINITION A specific type of paper in which you comment on other piece of writing usually a piece of literature.

To contrast is to use examples to show how things are different in one or more ways. The closing of an essay. Your readers should be left with an understanding of your claim or thesis, and feel as if what they read was meaningful. A feeling or association called up by a word, beyond its dictionary definition. Certain words often have a negative or positive connotation. Example: bossy has a negative connotation while confident has a positive connotation. See also denotation. A persuasive essay should contain a counter argument. Present a hypothetical argument (counter argument) that contradicts your thesis. Next give an example why someone might articulate that argument. Then provide a rebuttal, in which you refute the hypothetical argument and provide explanation. Common sentence stems to introduce a counter argument: Some may argue While it is possible Although it has been asserted Creative writing is writing that expresses the writer's thoughts and feelings in an imaginative, often unique, and poetic way. Creative writing is guided more by the writer's need to express feelings and ideas than by restrictive demands of factual and logical progression of expository writing. A modifier that does not sensibly describe anything in its sentence. Dangling: Having arrived late, the concert had already begun. Revised: Having arrived late, we found that the concert had already begun. Applying a generalization to specific circumstances in order to reach a conclusion.

Editorials are usually written about current, relevant topics that affect a community or society as a whole. Add details, as to an account or idea; clarify the meaning of and discourse in a learned way Formal writing focused on supporting a thesis statement. An essay is organized by paragraphs with a clear introduction; body paragraphs wherein supporting evidence is provided; and a concluding paragraph. Persuasive essays should also contain a counter argument. To judge the quality, value, currency, bias, or other aspects of a work. The facts, examples, expert opinions, and other information that support the claims in an argument. Writing that explains, examines, discusses, or illustrates is generally considered expository. Successful expository writing includes a clear thesis statement with effective supporting ideas (facts, details, examples, and so on). Flow basically refers to how easy to read a piece of writing is. An essay that is well organized with transitional words or sentences is usually said to flow. Reading your paper out loud will help you determine if your paper flows smoothly from one idea to the next. The typeface used in your essays. Standard fonts for formal essays are Calibri or Times New Roman 12 point font. For formal essays never use larger than 12 point font and make sure your font is sans serif. Writing in which the rules of Standard English must be adhered to. Almost all writing and communication in academia and the business/professional world fall in this category. An incomplete sentence.

42 WORD Introduction (A-B-C) Irrelevant Detail Lead Logical Fallacy MLA Formatting Mood Narrative Objectivity Op-Ed Paragraph Parallelism Parenthetical Citation (SST) DEFINITION The opening of an essay, a transition for readers between their world and the writer s. The format of the introduction should follow: Attention grabber (A), Background (B), Claim (C). A detail that does not support the writer s claim. It distracts the reader and should be eliminated. Opening of any piece of journalistic writing. Traditionally addresses the questions of who, what, when, why, and where. A fallacy is an error in an argument. There are many specific types of fallacies, all of which fall into two groups: some avoid the issue of the argument while others treat the argument as much simpler than it is. Avoid logical fallacies when writing a persuasive essay or presenting an argument. For a complete list of fallacies see MLA stands for the Modern Language Association. Except for scientific papers, use MLA guidelines for formatting your papers. Consult an MLA guidebook for specific details. The feeling created for the reader by a piece of literature. Diction, style, subject matter, and setting may all contribute to the creation of mood. A story In journalism, a writer should strive for objectivity. This means avoiding the presentation of personal opinion or bias. Pay careful attention to word choice, especially adjectives that may contain hidden bias. The Op-Ed (opinion-editorial) page is the one page in a newspaper where one can expect to read personal opinion. An Op-Ed piece presents a strong opinion about a relevant, current topic. A paragraph is a group of sentences set off by a beginning indentation and developing a SINGLE idea. Parallelism is a similarity of grammatical form between two or more elements. The elements might be words, phrases, or clauses. Parallelism helps highlight relationships in your sentences and makes your writing more fluid. Normally you will want to use parallel structure when it s an option. Nonparallel: The study found that most welfare recipients wanted to work rather than handouts. Parallel (revised): The study found that most welfare recipients wanted to work rather than to accept handouts. In the text of a paper, a brief reference, enclosed in parentheses, indicating the material is borrowed and directing the reader to the source of the material.

Consult a MLA or APA manual for specific rules. 38
43 WORD Participle Past Participle Persuasive Point of View (POV) Position (SST) Present Participle Prewriting Primary Source Pronoun, Ambiguous Pronouns-Antecedent Agreement Pronouns Personal Proof (SST) DEFINITION A verbal showing continuing or completed action, used as an adjective or part of a verb phrase but NEVER as the main verb of a sentence or clause. See participle. A past participle most commonly ends in d, -ed, -n, or en (wished, shown, given) but sometimes changes the spelling of the verb (sung, done, slept): Jeff has broken his own record (participle as a verb phrase). The meeting occurred behind a closed door (participle as adjective). A persuasive essay is one in which you write to convince your reader that your claim or thesis is correct. This type of essay makes a claim, supports the claim with evidence, explanation, and elaboration, and comes to a clear conclusion. A strong persuasive essay also contains a counter argument. See counter argument. 1 st, 2 nd, 3 rd person, etc. A perspective, frame of reference, or stance on a particular writing prompt, and/or topic of discussion See participle. A present participle ends in ing: My heart is breaking (participle as a verb phrase). I like to watch the rolling waves (participle as adjective) Writing is a process that contains steps. The first step is known as prewriting. It is what you do before you begin writing your paper or essay. Prewriting, depending upon the type of writing you are about to do, may include brainstorming ideas, researching, and organizing your thoughts. Completing outlines or graphic organizers are two formal methods of prewriting. First hand information, such as an eyewitness account of events; a diary, speech or other historical document; a work of literature or art; a report of a survey or experiment; and one s own interview, observation or correspondence. Who or what your pronoun refers to must be absolutely clear. An ambiguous pronoun leaves your reader confused. Ambiguous: Bob and John went to the restaurant; he was hungry. (reader can t tell who he refers to) A pronoun takes the place of a specific person, place, thing, or idea (noun). The pronoun must be the same in number and gender as the noun it is replacing. Do not use personal pronouns in persuasive essays. Examples: I, you, me. Incorrect: I think the author was incorrect in his assumption. Correct: The author was incorrect in his assumption.

Presenting a quote beforehand by explaining the context in which it appears and, when applicable, the speaker and audience (listener). An argument made to refute a counter argument. Writing is redundant when words or ideas are repeated unnecessarily. Redundant writing is considered weak. A detail that supports your claim or topic sentence. The connection is obvious to your argument. An essential part of the writing process in which the writer improves features of his or her writing. Revision includes fixing grammar problems; reorganizing and refocusing ideas; providing additional evidence, explanation, or elaboration; and ensuring the validity and strength of your claim. A detailed and organized presentation of the claim, including buckets of analysis/reasons/argument in the order that will be presented in writing. (located in the introductory paragraph) A complete unit of thought, consisting of at least a subject and a predicate (verb or verb phrase) Simple Sentence Compound Sentence Complex Sentence Compound-Complex Sentence The order of events in which they occurred or following of one thing after another in succession; chronological order. In narrative and/or descriptive writing, it is considered more powerful to describe rather than simply tell the reader directly. Telling: The boy was nervous. Showing: The boy s hands shook, his palms sweated, and his voice quaked. His turn on stage was next. The dialect of English used and expected by educated writers and readers in colleges and universities, businesses, and professions. For the majority of your writing assignments in school you should use standard American English as opposed to colloquial, everyday spoken language. Colloquial language is also known as informal English. Standard American English is also known as formal English. Colloquial: Many students start out pretty together but then get weird. Standard American English: Many students start out with clear goals but then lose their direction. 40
45 WORD Support (SST) Syntax Tense (Verb Tense) Thesis Thesis Sentence Tone DEFINITION To state an opinion and try to influence the reader's way of thinking with supporting evidence from primary and secondary documents and/or outside information. In sentences, the grammatical relations among words and the ways those relations are indicated. The form of a verb that expresses the time of its action, usually indicated by the verb s inflection and by helping verbs. The simple tenses are the present (I race, you go), the past (I raced, you went), and the future, formed with the helping verb will (I will race, you will go) The perfect tenses, formed with the helping verbs have and had, indicate completed action. They are the present perfect (I have raced, you have gone), the past perfect (I had raced, you had gone), and the future perfect (I will have raced, you will have gone). The progressive tenses, formed with the helping verb be plus the present participle, indicate continuing action. They include the present progressive (I am racing, you are going), the past progressive (I was racing, you were going), and the future progressive (I will be racing, you will be going). Tip: When writing papers about literature, the simple present tense is usually used. You should also usually maintain consistency of verb tense in your papers. Avoid unnecessarily switching or using multiple verbs tenses. See Claim Thesis=Main Point=Central Idea A sentence that asserts the central, controlling idea of an essay, conveying the writer s purpose and attitude and perhaps previewing the essay s organization. Functions of the thesis sentence: It narrows the topic to a single idea that you want readers to gain from your essay It names the topic and asserts something about it, conveying your purpose, your opinion and your attitude It often provides a concise preview of how you will arrange your ideas in the essay Tone in writing is like tone of voice in speaking: words and sentence structures on the page convey some of the same information as pitch and volume in the voice. Your tone will say a lot about your attitude, whether forceful, calm, irritated, warm or bored. OR, The sense of a writer s attitudes toward self, subject and readers revealed by words and sentence structures as well as by content. 41
46 WORD Topic Topic sentence Transitional Words Wordiness DEFINITION The subject of an essay, narrowed so that it is appropriately specific for the prescribed purpose, length and deadline. The main idea of a paragraph. All others sentences in the paragraph should support, give evidence, explain, elaborate, or otherwise relate to the topic sentence in some way. A word or phrase, such as thus or for example, that links sentences and shows relations between them. Transitional words help make your writing flow which in turns allows your reader to understand your thoughts more clearly. A good writer has a pocket full of transitional words that he or she uses to connect ideas. In general, the writing you do academically should be concise. Use the least amount of words to explain your thoughts. Extra words or phrases are often called deadwood. Repetitive words or phrases that repeat ideas unnecessarily (redundancy) will also create wordiness. Avoid wordiness. 42
