Only Draft Problem/ Solution MLA Style

Print your draft, and turn it in in Moodle.

You will each read and comment on two drafts.


Homework:

1. Tomorrow we'll use TurnItIn to check your quotes and paraphrasing and any MLA questions you have.

2. TWFTD:  a big word of your choice in the OED.

Working on MLA Citation Details

Thinkwrite: 
Do you consider yourself to be a detail-oriented person? You are here at school to prepare for doing a job. (What job is that?) How detail-oriented will you have to be to do that job, do you think?  What are some ways to become MORE detail-oriented?

I hand out another example of student writing. It has a number of problems with its citation. Read it and answer these questions in your daybook:

1. . Underline every in-text citation you see as you read. How many are there?

2. When you read an in-text citation, check to see if it clearly leads to a source in the Works Cited list. List any problems you find.

3. Are there items on the Works Cited list that were NOT used in the paper? List them.

4. This paper is old, so it follows MLA 6. What major difference can you find between MLA 6 and MLA 7? Look at one of YOUR works cited pages for MLA 7.

5. If you know the page number where information occurred, you should include that in an in-text citation. Please put a star next to each in-text citation in "My Friend Michelle" that SHOULD have included a page number in parentheses. How many are there? [Hint: use the bibliography to help decide if there were page numbers in the source.]

After you finish this, use the time to work on revising your Problem/ Solution paper. Make correct in-text citations, and use EasyBib to work on your works cited page. REMEMBER you MUST have cited information from a database source in this article.

Homework:
1. Get your paper ready for turning in to Turnitin tomorrow, to check your paraphrasing and quoting of sources.

2. TWFTD: synonymous in OED.

Solo Paper #3 Due

You turn in your Solo #3 papers, with the article you wrote about, and the rubric.

I return your Problem/ Solution paper.  Read the comments/markings on your paper.

1. Copy down ONE comment or question I wrote on your paper that indicates something you need to change.

2. Explain ONE OTHER part of the paper that you could change for the better. Explain what is needed.

3. How many outside sources did you use to write this paper?

I hand out the assignment sheet for the last paper.
