Noon class: we do yesterday's blog activities.
3 PM class: you exchange and read two papers.
Homework:
1. Work on your Problem/ Solution with MLA Style Citation paper. You will upload it to TurnItIn Monday. The Final Version is due Tuesday.
2. Daybooks due Monday.
3. Class will not meet Tuesday. Wednesday will be Count Day. The final is now optional for all students. It can only help your grade. You take it on Thursday at a time you schedule with me. If you don't take the final, your grade will be what Moodle shows once I have entered all scores (Thursday morning).

Working on MLA Style Citation
Problem/ Solution papers all returned. Make all changes indicated (or have a reason for not doing so). Revise to improve. Add information, with in-text citations which clearly lead to the Works Cited page.
Only draft due tomorrow, Friday. Final version due Tuesday Mar. 17.
Read "My Friend Michelle." Underline every in-text citation as you read. This paper has citation problems.
Answer these questions in your daybook:
1. How many in-text citations 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. Prepare your draft for tomorrow, with a Works Cited page AND in-text citations.
2. You will turn this draft into TurnItIn, but it is due for class Monday.
3. TWFTD: synonymous
