Directions: According to the topic you were assigned in class on Wednesday, July 9th, make a claim and provide at least two, scholarly sources to support that claim.
First: Make a claim
Example: modern writing can make for poor models for potential writers and writing students.
Second: Provide two sources, in MLA format, and then summarize the content of that source.
Example:
Badovinac, Emily. "The Blight of Young Adult Fiction." USRepresented.com. US Represented. 31
August 2013. Web. 7 July 2014.
This article is discusses the inefficient writing in young adult fiction, which--in turn--directs writing students toward poor writing habits.
Ream, Jacquie. "Is Texting Destroying Kids' Writing Style?" Curriculum Review 48.1 (2008): 4-5.
Web. 7 July 2014.
This article describes how texting is leading to children's inability to write properly.
Third: Explain why these articles would defend your claim.
Example: Both of these articles are from scholarly sources. The first is from a scholarly online publication, and the second is an online database article. The first describes how popular fiction is providing poor models for both youthful and older writers, and the second describes how texting is providing a poor model for younger writers. These would both be examples of poor writing models.
Initial response to post due before class on Wednesday, July 16th.
Reply to Classmate: Look up one or both of the citations and provide feedback, given what you now know about sources. If the student's sources would not pass muster, tell him or her, and explain why. If the sources are solid, reaffirm your peer's good choices by stating why they rock (be detailed!).
Example: Though the text by Jacquie Ream is from an online database, it has not been peer reviewed, so it would not meet the standards set by Ms. Taylor or the LBH for a scholarly source. Could you find a similar article that has been peer reviewed?
Example 2: I had such a difficult time finding scholarly evidence for that topic. I am really impressed that you were able to get any information from the database. What search terms did you use? (Then, hopefully, your classmate would respond to you.)
Reply to classmate due by 5pm, July 20th.
NOTE: I did NOT put the hyperlinks in the text of this post.
Claim: Breastfeeding is more beneficial to both the child and the mother than bottle feeding.
ReplyDeleteSources:
"Breast or Bottle?" Kidshealth.org. Nemours, n.d. Web. 13 July 2014.
"Breastfeeding vs. Formula Feeding." WebMD.com. Ed. Todd Nivin. N.p., 2012. Web. 13 July 2014.
These sources show the benefits of breastfeeding vs. formula feeding and the benefits of both.
Step 3
These sources back my claim because it was written my doctors and proffesionals in order to give information on breastfeeding vs. formula feeding and even though these sources show the positives and negatives of both it can be proven that it is most beneficial to both the baby and the mother to breastfeed for the first six months of the baby's life.
Hi Drew,
DeleteOn your source of “Breast or Bottle,” you forgot to name the editors of the source which were Joseph DiSanto, MD, and Karin Y. DiSanto, IBCLC and the date was January 2012. You can find this information on page 5 or tab 5. The source is creditable to me because that’s what my doctor told me when my kids were born.
Breastfeeding is beneficial to women's health.

Discusses the benefits of breast feeding and its effect of a multiple sclerosis relapse. It also talks on the subject of menstrual cycles; breast feeding can suppress the cycle.
The two articles are from academic databases. The first article shows both the risks and benefits of breastfeeding for a woman, the studies show two different cancers that breastfeeding can help reduce. The second article talks about menstrual cycles and multiple sclerosis relapses. Breastfeeding suppresses menstrual cycles and the relapse of multiple sclerosis in women. These articles show specific benefits of breastfeeding for women.
Evan,
DeleteYour sources are credible sources and they were not hard to find. I found them to be very informative. These articles will definitely back your claim .
I. Breastfeeding has many health benefits for infants.
ReplyDeleteII. Chantry, Caroline J.Howard, Cynthia R.Auinger, Peggy. "Full Breastfeeding Duration And Associated Decrease In Respiratory Tract Infection In US Children." Pediatrics 117.2 (2006): 425. MasterFILE Premier. Web. 14 July 2014.
This article covers studies done on infants who have been solely breastfed in various lengths of time in order to see if the risks of lung infections are effected by the length of time they are breastfed. Age groups include birth to four months, six months, one year, and two years. Data from these studies are given and yield conclusive evidence that breastfeeding for longer period of time reduces the risk of infants contracting respiratory infections.

This article discusses the health benefits of breastfeeding for both infants and mothers, premature infants, as well as advice for medical professionals to encourage continued breastfeeding.
III. Both of these are academic articles and both come from an academic database. The first article provides data from studies done with breastfed infants to gage the correlation between the amount of time they were breastfed and their risk of developing lung infections. The second article discusses the health benefits both full-term and premature infants gain from beast feeding, as well as health benefits for the nursing mother. Both of these articles provide evidence for the health benefits for infants that breastfeeding provides.
Both of your sources seem strong and provide a good amount of evidence for the topic. You've included stats with studies and a good chunk of general knowledge on the subject. That would definitely make it easier for your audience to know exactly what you're talking about and follow the information throughout your paper. Good job!
DeleteI think both of the cited sources serve as credible evidence and the fact that stats are included goes a long ways for ethos.

This article provides an interview with David Meyers, M.D. regarding the evidence of certain scientific or biological benefits of breastfeeding. It also appeals to the persuasion of other medical professionals to support and encourage breastfeeding.
3- These resources effectively support my claim because they provide statistics, scientific evidence, and utilize an expert opinion that highlight why breastfeeding is beneficial.
Loni,
DeleteBoth of your sources are reliable and will help support your claim. Your second source is good because you actually found good info from a physician and your sources are up to date. Good job!
I. Breastfeeding is beneficial to both mother and infant.
ReplyDeleteII. http://www.womenshealth.gov/breastfeeding/why-breastfeeding-is-important/
http://www.webmd.com/parenting/baby/nursing-basics
III. These articles cover the benefits of breast feeding for both mother and infant. It states, it is easier to digest for the infant and has antibodies to protect baby from getting sick. Breastfeeding is linked to a lower risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, diabetes and postpartum depression in mother. Another great fact is that it helps mother lose weight.
IV. Both of these articles explain why it’s so beneficial to breastfeed infant babies, it shows the positive effects of breastfeeding and the negative effects it also shows the financial aspect and the convenience of breastfeeding. I choose these sources because one is a government site the other is a reliable source.
First:
ReplyDeleteBreastfeeding is good for the mother.
Second:

This article is about the lowered rate of Hispanic mothers breastfeeding in the United States and ways to get them to breastfeed more.
Third:
Both of these articles would defend my claim because in both of them it goes into the health perks for the mother from breastfeeding. The first article states, that women who do-not breast feed have a higher risk of” post-partum blood loss, post-partum depression, and ovarian and breast cancer when compared with women who do breastfeed” (9). The second article also goes into the lower rate of ovarian and premenopausal breast cancer among women who breastfeed. According to the second article breastfeeding has also been linked to women losing pregnancy weight.
Hi Andrew,
DeleteDid you know when mothers breastfeed it also lower the risk for a Cardiovascular disease?

Hey Jeffrey Su,

This article states that women how smoke will try to wean their children at an early time in fear of the nicotine having an effect on there child.
Wen Xiaozhong, Shenassa Edmond, Paradis Angela. Maternal & Child Health Journal. May2013, Vol. 17 Issue 4, p746-755. 10p. 1 Color Photograph, 1 Diagram, 3 Charts. Article
This article provides proof of some side effects of smoking in correlation to breast feed children and how the effect turned out to have a negative outcome.
3:
Both articles are prime example of smoking before and after breastfeeding. The mental idea that the women’s smoking would have a negative effect on the breastfeeding leading to wean the child at a younger age then necessary. And the effects of the smoking having a problem with the child leading to young obesity.
so are you saying that smoking while breastfeeding is ok to do at a certain extent? what kind of effect will turn out if the baby has too much nicotine in there body's>?

Breastfeeding benefits mothers
http://www.womenshealth.gov/breastfeeding/why-breastfeeding-is-important/index.html
Womenshealth.gov
Life can be easier when you breastfeed – Breastfeeding may take a little more effort than formula feeding at first. But it can make life easier once you and your baby settle into a good routine. Plus, when you breastfeed, there are no bottles and nipples to sterilize. You do not have to buy, measure, and mix formula. And there are no bottles to warm in the middle of the night! You can satisfy your baby’s hunger right away when breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding can save money – Formula and feeding supplies can cost well over $1,500 each year, depending on how much your baby eats. Breastfed babies are also sick less often, which can lower health care costs.
Breastfeeding can feel great – Physical contact is important to newborns. It can help them feel more secure, warm, and comforted. Mothers can benefit from this closeness, as well. Breastfeeding requires a mother to take some quiet relaxed time to bond. The skin-to-skin contact can boost the mother’s oxytocin levels. Oxytocin is a hormone that helps milk flow and can calm the mother.
Breastfeeding can be good for the mother’s health, too – Breastfeeding is linked to a lower risk of these health problems in women:
Type 2 diabetes
Breast cancer
Ovarian cancer
Postpartum depression
Experts are still looking at the effects of breastfeeding on osteoporosis and weight loss after birth. Many studies have reported greater weight loss for breastfeeding mothers than for those who don’t. But more research is needed to understand if a strong link exists.
Mothers miss less work – Breastfeeding mothers miss fewer days from work because their infants are sick less often.
How Breastfeeding Beneifts Mothers' Health?

Breastfeeding show to improve baby health and even IQ. Breastfeeding also appear to lowering risks of
cardiovascular disease and cancer. Babies that are being breastfed has lower rates of child obesity,
decreased of asthma and a better brain development. In a study shows that breastfeeding less than 12
months during their reproductive years had a Higher risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
Hyperlipidemia and hypertension than women who had lactated for more than a year in total.
Vega,
DeleteI seen that your first source was from a government ran website. This usually tells your readers that that source can be pretty creditable. While this is a good thing, I wasn't able to find your second source at all. This will give you another objective to have to accomplish to claim the attention of your readers. Without the support from a second creditable source the possibility of your readers believing your claim.

This article talks about the lack of knowledge low income mothers who breast feed have about the difference between breast feeding and bottle feeding.
Third:
Both of these articles are academic sources and will help me defend my claim. The first article is about the knowledge couples have about breastfeeding and bottle feeding. It also has statistics about the mother and fathers who breast feed and bottle feeds knowledge on their preferred method of feeding. The second article talks about how low income mothers are persuaded to breast feed because it is financially better for them and most of them lack knowledge on why breast feeding can benefit them and their baby. These articles support my claim because both of these articles have academic data about breastfeeding, bottle feeding and low income couples.
Dana, your sources are good and strong! They're both scholarly articles that you found through an academic search, and both cover topics about the perceptions, knowledge and ideas about breastfeeding that both formula parents and breastfeeding parents have. Using a comparison of the two helps to answer your question about what parents know because your sources don't focus on just on group.

It also talks about the mortality rate of children who are breastfed, and formula fed. The second articles discusses the hormonal health of mothers who breastfeed, and how beneficial it is to have those hormones produced from breastfeeding. These articles together address why breastfeeding is more beneficial to both the mother and infant, rather than using formulas to feed the baby.
Alexander,
DeleteAlthough your first sources is a peer-review and from a academic database, I am not to sure about the second source. When I tried to look up this source on my own I ran into an issue with associating the author you listed with the author that the search engine provided and detoured me towards. This may make your readers look at you as a less creditable person. Hope this can help you though.
