Homework 2/10
Choose three of your quotes from your draft. Practice revising the signal phrase to better introduce the source material AND make sure to add the appropriate parenthetical citation to the end of each.
They believe that trigger warnings can do no good and only cause more harm. Lukianoff/Haidt state, “According to the most-basic tenets of psychology, helping people with anxiety disorders avoid the things they fear is misguided” (paragraph 4). They believe allowing people to be shielded from their fears and anxieties is simply digging them into a deeper hole and everybody who allows the use of trigger warnings is complicit to their downfall.
I am content with this section. I am not sure how I would edit this to make it better. I like the signal phrase I chose and I believe my citation is correct.
This is them becoming stuck in a fixed mindset. In the Ted Talk hosted by Carol Dweck, she claims that, “From their more fixed mindset perspective, their intelligence had been up for judgment, and they failed. Instead of luxuriating in the power of yet, they were gripped in the tyranny of now” (00:35). Dweck believes that they, meaning the students, are so entrapped by their current thoughts that they cannot fathom overcoming them.
I decided to include more of the quote to try to better show the context it was used in within the text. I then removed the sentence that originally came after it because it was repetitive and unnecessary to include now. I do not think I need to change my section any further. I am content with the way it is currently.
I only used 2 quotes in my draft so far.
