Activator and Grammar Bite 48

Today we are in the library to learn about MLA style and start typing up our drafts of our reaseach paper.  Why is it important to say where you got the information you got for your research paper?  Why do you think you need to copy down more than just the title of the book or a web address?  (Hint: perhaps something to do with the validity of the source?)

GB48:  Copy the sentences and underline the adverbs.

  1. After 1st Block, you should go directly to the auditorium.  (This is a false statement.)
  2. You need to have your research papers finished so work quickly, quietly, and diligently.  (This is a true statement.)
  3. All of your makeup work is due on October 31st if you want it to appear on the progress report, so make sure your work is completely done by then.
The goal for today is to complete your Works Cited page.  When you finish your Works Cited page, work on typing up your draft above your Works Cited in the same Word Document.   Make sure you include your in-text citations (for 9th grade, this should pretty simple, for American Lit, please be careful and diligent!) every time you quote or paraphrase a source. 

Remember, your papers are due at the beginning of class on Friday, October 28th, NEXT FRIDAY!!!
