Draft Due Problem/Solution MLA Style

In-text citation quiz.  Do the following in your daybook:

1. You have an article titled “New Moon Discoveries,” written by Jerry Lewis and published in Nature magazine, that says this:

"In 2012 it was determined by the observations of over 27 middle school students that the moon closely resembles cheese.  Based on their use of a telescope purchased at WalMart, the seventh grade class of Mrs. D. Rose now believes that the moon is made of cheese."

How would you include that information in a paper with a correct MLA style in-text citation?  Paraphrase the information and cite it as though you are writing it into your paper.

2.  You have an article by Milly Smith titled "The Stars Are Falling" that was published in Space magazine. Here's a quote:

"The night sky is full of stars we can't see."

Write down a sentence that contains this quote and cites it correctly, as it would fit into your paper.


Now you fill out the Writer's page for your draft, and exchange papers.
Also, submit your draft to TurnItIn using Part 3 in the Problem/Solution upload in Moodle.

Homework:

1. Use TurnItIn and draft input to make changes and get your paper ready to hand in on Friday.  There will be time tomorrow during class to ask questions and edit.

2. TWFTD:  debacle
