Self Check: Embedding Evidence
Now, you try. First, read the evidence for a sample video game presentation:
Type of Evidence | Evidence | Author or First Info from WC | Title | Page | Location | Research Question |
Definitions | "Aggression is a physical or emotional act that challenges another person for a response." | Michaels, Sarah | Video Vipers | 12-28 | MCCC Library | What is aggressive behavior? |
Statistics | "Ninety percent of boys in the study exhibited one or more aggressive behaviors while only 30 % of the girls did." | Jones, Robert | "Affects of Video Violence on Aggression in Children" | -- | www.thatsite.com | Is the violent behavior anything to be concerned about, or is it minor violence? |
Testimonials | One boy who participated in the study stated that he felt pressured to play aggressively with other boys. | N/A | "Children of a Violent Society" | 89-100 | www.thatsite.com | Is the violent behavior anything to be concerned about, or is it minor violence? |
Next, use the entries from this evidence log to practice embedding quotes. Read the question, write your answer in the text box, then check to see if your answer was correct.
Embed the testimonial comment from the third row of the chart without using the title in the text.

Embed the definition from the first row of the chart, using the "THAT" construction.

Embed the statistic from the second row of the chart, using the comma construction.

Embed the definition from the first row of the chart, using the colon construction.
