- Under that (To the RIGHT) ... 2 antonyms that you are familiar with
- An example (from life or reading)
- A picture or symbol that you mentally connect with the word.
LAIR - resting place of a wild animal
SYNONYMS - Den, Hideaway ANTONYMS - Open Space, Trails
EXAMPLE - Wounded animals tend to try to get back to their lairs to escape.

- Finish your Research (Notes & Sources) ... turn in when finished. I want to see where you are on the paper and on your research. However, if you add more research and more sources AFTER the initial grade is input, I will adjust the grade accordingly.
- Finish your Working Outline ... submit through Edmodo when finished.
- THE EDMODO DEADLINE FOR BOTH RESEARCH AND THE OUTLINE HAS BEEN MOVED TO 1/28/16 DUE TO MY ABSENCES THIS WEEK.
- Today is a work day - tomorrow and Friday we will focus on getting ready to write the rough draft and on putting that together. So even though things are "due" tomorrow, don't expect much class time to work on it after today.
- Rough Drafts remain due on 2/5. Final Drafts remain due on 2/17. Stay on track and stay focused.
- Giving credit to your sources ... (aka parenthetical citations) ...
- PLAGIARISM ... it has four forms
- Copying the work of another and claiming it as your own
- Quoting a source and not providing proper credit
- Paraphrasing or summarizing a source into your own words but not providing proper credit
- Writing a paper that is entirely quotes, paraphrases, and summaries (even if you provide proper credit)
- When we use information from our research, in order to avoid plagiarism, we MUST give appropriate credit to the original writers via parenthetical citations.
- Parenthetical Citation Basics
- MLA Sample Paper w/ Citations and Works Cited
- Like you will produce for your rough and final drafts
