Answer:
Explanation:
Synthesis
Process of developing your own informed opinion by creating a measured response that considers multiple perspectives and possibilities; Not a summary
Entering a Conversation
Carefully reading and understanding the perspectives and ideas surrounding an issue, examining your own ideas on the matter, and then synthesizing these views into a more informed position than the one you began with
Bias
When you are learning about a subject, look for reliable sources; No personal gain for the author
Using Sources to Inform an Argument
Sources should enhance, not replace, your argument; Sources should demonstrate your understanding of opposing positions; "What you have to say is the main event; your position is central"
"Seabiscuit" by Laura Hillenbrand
A champion racehorse beats the odds; Hillenbrand maintains her own voice although she uses some works from experts; She turned to authorities-sources-to deepen and supplement her own knowledge about the mechanics and physics of how a racehorse and a jockey move as one entity
"A Level Playing Field: African American Athletes and Republic of SPorts" by Gerald L. Early
Passage about the complex character of Jackie Robinson who was the first black athlete in MLB
Using Sources to Appeal to an Audience
A writer must analyse the rhetorical situation in order to determine what sources and documentation is appropriate; Type of evidence depends on audience and situation
Using Sources to Appeal to a general audience of readers interested primarily in understanding the basics of Pinker's ideas
No formal sources cited
Technical terms are introduced but not cited to academic origin
Does no go into research that led to conclusion
Goal is to inform readers and keep moving
Ex. Words Don't Mean What They Mean
Using Sources to Appeal to a general audience of readers interested in exploring his subject more deeply
Citation of sources becomes correspondingly more extensive and formal
Audience has some interest in this topic - they have chosen to read about the subject
Summarizing the latest thinking, but introducing terminology common to the subject
Fully and formally cites his sources using endnotes
Ex. "Stuff of Thought: Language as a Window into Human Nature" by Steven Pinker
Using Sources to Appeal to a academic audience of researchers and scholars who bring a good deal of prior knowledge to the text
Sources are embedded throughout the work for direct reference
Sources are other scholarly works
Works cited page at the end
Seems more authoritative
Ex. "The Evolutionary Social Psychology of Off-Record Indirect Speech Acts" by Steven Pinker

Transition from your voice to other's words smoothly and naturally
Citing Sources
Keep track of sources used for your reader
Timed writing only needs source number or author's name in parentheses
Paraphrasing needs citation
Formal writing needs MLA documentation, including a works cited page

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense.
According to the Sixth Amendment, a jury must
confront witnesses
have a process for obtaining witnesses
have the Assistance of Counsel
come from the area where the crime was committed
Answer: Come from the area where the crime was committed
Explanation:
The Sixth Amendment in this excerpt shows that in addition to having an impartial jury that is made up of the peers of the accused, that jury also had to be from the area the crime was committed.
By area the Amendment means that the jury should be from the same State and District where the crime was committed. This is probably because these are the people most likely to understand the circumstances involved.
