When it comes to writing papers my ability to integrate with others is poor. Throughout the essay, I do add quotes and paraphrases but they lack meaning. As I am reading, I choose quotes that I believe I can make a connection to or is important to the writing prompt. After reading what is considered integrating with others, I came to the conclusion that I need to get better and to do that I can review my rubrics from last semester. When I was writing the essay reflecting on Kenji Yoshino “the new civil rights”, I used his quotes as a way to describe new words, bring in other peoples point of views, and to direct the conversation in another direction. As I wrote the essay, I used quotes from Yoshino and other people that we mentioned in the article but adding quotation marks. I would then either reflect on the quote by adding my ideas. And for definitions, I would use their definition in quotation marks and after I would describe the word in my own words and what I think the word meant. In this article, I did not pay attention to adding signal phrases and voice markers. I know that it is important. On my next essay, I will make sure to look at Habits of the Creative Mind and They Say/ I Say in order to improve my writing. Below I was going to add two examples of how I integrated with others. However, my essay got deleted so I was unable to. For my integrating with others I gave myself a NY. I gave myself this score because I believe that I added information from the text but I did not do as well as I could of.
Quotes:
One example that supports that is that if you’re a woman you need to wear makeup as it is an “essential” part of being a woman. He believes that “woman was given the liberty right to elaborate her own gender identity in ways that did not impinge on her job performance, she would be protected from demands to be either more ‘masculine’ or ‘feminine’.” (paragraph 32).
He defines it as “to tone down a disfavored identity to fit into the mainstream” (Preface).
Later in the article, Yoshino defines liberty paradigm as ” to protect the authentic self” and equality paradigm as “essentializing the identities it protects”.
