Class #15

Five paragraph essay practice in your journal. Plagiarism reviewed.

MLA citation practice -- in text and on the Works Cited page.

Researching the modern way: databases at the computer lab.

Peer review of your second draft of Summary/Response #2.

I collect journals for the second journal check and give a grammar handout.

Homework:

1. Complete the final version of your Summary/Response #2 on an image. Edit carefully and make sure that your introduction includes a statement of YOUR thesis about the work. Be sure that I will be able to look at your image when I grade your paper.

2. Read in Reid pages 328-336, "The Hollywood Indian." This has lots of correct MLA citation. It is more complicated than your Investigative essay needs to be, but it gives you a clear idea of how to use outside sources in your work.

3. Decide on your topic and spend time looking for your three required sources. On Tuesday be prepared to list these sources in your journal.

4. Do the grammar handout.

5. Two words for your journal (add in later).

3. Create Draft #2 of your Summary/Response #2.

4. In your journal do Question #1 page 294 in Reid (with or without the internet). For the last paper you must choose a topic about which you already know, and then find out more.

5. Two vocabulary words.
