Database Practice

We look at how you cite a database on your Works Cited page.  Then you get a handout.  Use three databases to find articles on two different subjects.


THEN you must copy out the correct citation for two of them into your daybook, as though you were citing them on a Works Cited page.  Each database will arrange the information for you;  you just have to figure out how to tell it to do so.


Homework:


1.  If you owe me a paper, write it.  Otherwise, you can begin on your MLA style paper, although the first draft is not due until
Dec. 1.


2.  Have a nice Thanksgiving!
