Tuesday - Classroom Workday 2/3

Today's Objective:
Students will continue analyzing their research and synthesizing/creating their argument based on factual support for their research paper.  (English IV - Argument Paper Over a Controversial Issue ... College Prep English - Literary Analysis of Poetry).  Students will document source information in MLA format and will gather research on both sides of the issue (or, in the case of the college prep class, the literature being compared/contrasted in the analysis).

CWoD - HEGEMONY

Like yesterday, be sure to review the information on MLA for and citations within your writing as needed - yesterday's links are below in case you need them again.

Online Writing Center - Documentation Notes - this is helpful on "what" to document

MLA Info from ACC - gives a good general overview MLA Documentation as well as an "animated" slideshow of the most important components: MLA Tutorial Slideshow

MLA Beginners Guide - Slideshow - another good overview - good place to start if you know "nothing" about this

Bedford/St. Martin's Notes on MLA - a better review for students who are familiar with how to use in-text/parenthetical documentation and need a more advanced review

You can also certainly refer back to the webquest we did on January 7th - either your own webquest notes OR the webquest info itself.


Once you have completed the outline and shared it with me electronically, continue working on your rough draft of your paper.  Since we have the guest speaker tomorrow we will extend the due date for the rough draft until Monday February 9th (we will be in the classroom that day).
