You've read Pham's IMRD-style text about bike culture at UC Davis.

You've also learned about different genres of source use (quoting, paraphrasing, summarizing) as well as about Bizup's idea that writers use sources for particular reasons in the BEAM video. Bizup identifies four different reasons writers use sources via BEAM (background, exhibit, argument, and method sources).

Now--find one instance in Pham's text where she uses a source.

Create your own post where you:

1) identify that passage by copying and pasting over the passage into a Padlet post, reporting where Pham references the source (page #),

2) identify which genre of source reference Pham is using there,

3) identify which parts of BEAM source use it exemplifies.

1) "ATTENTION INCOMING FIRST YEARS," writes an upperclassman in caps lock, "... DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GET A BEACH CRUISER STYLE BIKE... trust me PEOPLE WILL JUDGE YOU" (UC Davis Freshman Class of 2016 (official)). This quote is from one of many anti-cruiser posts on Facebook, a heavily frequented social networking site and source of popular student opinion. (60)

2) Genre: Quote

3) This source exemplifies Exhibit in the BEAM framework. This quote is a piece of evidence that Pham later analyzes to support her claims regarding the idea that beach cruiser style bicycles are not welcome at Davis, and are a source of discrimination and judgement.

1) “It’s one of the ‘freshman!’ things to do,”
writes a Facebook group member, “…that’s because at least half of each
freshman class gets [a cruiser]” (UC Davis Freshman Class of 2016
(official)). Whether or not this student’s statement is accurate, it suggests
that the image of the Davis freshman and the cruiser are synonymous.
The stigmatized bike is associated with freshmen who are perceived as
clumsy and inexperienced.(64).

2)Genre: Quote

3)This information that is cited as a quote is part of the beam framework. The author goes on to explain the meaning of this quote to support her arguments.

1. " If you own a cruiser and it falls on its side while it was parked because you couldn't secure it properly, I automatically hate you," writes one student (UC Davis Freshman Class of 2016 (official)). (61)

2. quote

3. This quote from Pham's writing highlights exhibit because later in her writing she explains how these quotes from other students support her argument. By using this source which is from an anti-cruiser posts, Pham has this primary source to support her claims later throughout her writing which follows the BEAM framework.

1. “It’s not what you ride, it’s how you ride and park that earns you the death glare. Stick to the right if you’re going slow; pay attention in the bike circles; don’t tangle up other bikes’ handlebars with your own when you park, and you’ll be fine” (UC Davis Freshman Class of 2016 (official)).

2. Genre: quote

3. This source is an example of the exhibit in the BEAM framework. Pham used this quote to support her point that the physical inconvenience is not specific to cruise bikes.

1. Social dominance theory examines group dynamics in different communities and explains how dominant groups suppress subordinate groups politically, economically, socially, and culturally. Pratto and Stewart introduce the idea of “legitimizing myths.” Legitimizing myths are ideas created and spread by society; they are taken for granted because they are framed as obvious. Often these myths are hierarchy-enhancing as they reinforce the power of a dominant group by increasing social inequality. Legitimizing myths dictate how “people understand what they deserve and how they and others should be treated” (Pratto and Steward 2).(61)
2. The genre of source reference that Pham is using is a mixture of paraphrasing and quotes.
3. This exemplifies method in BEAM as the author is applying another source's ideas to the issue that she is talking about.

1) The beach cruiser is notorious for its large, curved frame and wide handlebars. Its speed is slower compared to other bikes, but it wasn't created to go fast. The cruiser was built for comfort. The large seat and wide handlebars support the back, encouraging a more upright , open posture.

2) paraphrasing (info about bikes)

3) This source is an example of Background, since Pham doesn't cite or quote any of this information. Describing the beach-cruisers as a way to explain why most bike riders advise against them, however Pham expects the reader to already know what a beach-cruiser looks like. (common knowledge)

1.)"The New York Times article, “To
Be Cute as a Bug Isn’t Enough Anymore,” cites Volkswagen’s statistic that
“women accounted for nearly 70% of buyers [of the Beetle]” (Patton). To
attract more male buyers, Volkswagen redesigned the typical Beetle for
“more power, less flower”"(63)

2.) Quote

3.) This part if using the BEAM format as its arguing for Phams text. It elaborates on how the but beetle car is similar to a cruiser bike on how it is similar in the fact its catered to women but there another model for men like how their is a road bike for mostly men and bring up the fact of the feminine stereotype of they will go for more cuter shapes and colors over speed and power like men.

1. The blunt phrase "people will judge you" sets the tone of future bike encounters; it warns the community that one's bicycle choice affects how they are socially accepted, and it reinforces group bias against beach cruisers.(60)

2. Genre: Paraphrasing

3. BEAM:
This is argumentative because it is using the source to support the assertion that discrimination against cruiser bikes exists. I also think you could classify this as an exhibit source because it offers an interpretation of the Facebook quote that was presented earlier in the writing.

1)i think it is very subtle and the women who experience it have so little power to do anything about it. I can't tell you how many times I gave a suggestion... and got no response from the professor, only to have one of the nearby males in the class suggest the same things a few moments later and be congratulated for a good suggestion. i hate this- I never how much this hurt and actually came to expect it after a while.
2) Quote
3) This informations is a direct quote from a speech produced by Nancy G. Leveson. The writer uses a speech as another source of information. She uses to further explain a major point in the text revolving around the idea of social discrimination towards certain groups.

1 In a response to an inquiry on the Class of2016 page about cruisers, one student wrote,“It's not what you ride, it'show you ride and park that earns you the death glare. Stick to the right if you're going slow; pay attention in the bike circles; don't tangle up other bikes' handlebars with your own when you park, and you'll be fine”(UCDavis Freshman Class of 2016 (official)).

2 Genre: quote

3 This actually exemplifies several parts in BEAM such as exhibit, primary source which aimed for a better explanation of the idea she want to convey and support the main idea that dominant group are suppressing subordinate group.

3.) The quotes from Pham's writing exhibits the BEAM framework, as the author Pham summarizes the main statement and then provide brief and similar quotes to follow up and support it.

2) Genre: Paraphrase (there are no quotation marks, so I assume it is a reiterated and reorganized quote from Nancy G. Leveson)

3) This is an exhibit source in which the author is examining/analyzing how females are discriminated in fields of academia (female ideas aren't valued as male ideas) using Leveson's situation.

1) "The New York Times article, "To Be Cute as a Bug Isn't Enough Anymore," cites

Volkswagen's statistic that

"women accounted for nearly 70% of buyers [of the Beetle)" (Patton). To attract more male buyers, Volkswagen redesigned the typical

Beetle for

"more power, less flower" by flattening the roof and elongating the body." (63).

2) The genre of source reference that Pham is using is a quote/paraphrase of statistics from a news article.

3) This quote argues in support of Pham's claims because it's supporting how feminine stereotypes can be used to discriminate and create a hostile environment for those targeted. It also goes over how theres stereotypes on the priorities of women and what people classify the important things are that can attract women in our society.

1) "To attract more male buyers, Volkswagen redesigned the typical Beetle for 'more power, less flower' by flattening the roof and elongating the body. Manufacturers relate female ownership of the VW Beetle to its physical appeal; changing the Beetle's appearance means changing its consumer base. Similarly, females may choose the cruiser because it appears girly and cute" (63).

2) Quote

3) This passage uses a background source from BEAM Thinking because the quote "more power, less flower" is not cited in the sentence but is recognized by the reader since it is more common knowledge that companies use slogans such as that to sell or market their product to consumers. The author also mentioned that this was from Volkswagen which the majority of people know is a car brand so they can easily deduce that the quote used was an slogan for an advertisement, thus making it a background source.
