MLA Citation and EasyBIb

We look at this Prezi: http://prezi.com/qmf4siv3xukj/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copyow

Now you look again in order to fill in the outline I provide.

Now we look at EasyBib. See the tool, and use it with me.

For this Short Project #3, you can create a page, copy/paste the citation from GALE, with the title of the page and hanging indent.

Finding Sources

Good news! http://journalstar.com/business/local/multi-state-investigation-into-patent-trolls-coming-bruning-deputy-says/article_7faff530-21f5-575d-a87b-37a85f05b06b.html

How is your Short Project #3 going? Have you annotated your article?

Write down:

1. One thing you learned from your article.

2. One question you have about the topic of your aritcle.

3. One question you have about writing a paper about the article.

I pass out the assignment sheet for the Problem/Solution with Research paper.

You read it. Answer questions about it.

We go to the library so you can do research. Oops -- it's all online. Let me show you Ebsco as well as Gale.

Now you have time to work. You can work on your Short Project #3 paper, or you can be searching for sources. Be sure to save links or email articles to yourself.

Homework:

1. If you wish, hand in your Short Project #3 tomorrow.

2. Be hunting for credible sources on your Problem/ Solution topic.

3. TWFTD: a word from your article, your choice.

4. Extras off the internet: http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1qoyn2/assume_all_of_world_history_is_a_movie_what_are/
