Thu. Dec. 3
Students handed in their MLA to APA internal text citation example.
Next we worked with the conversion of MLA Works Cited to APA. First the instructor went over the differences in MLA and APA. We talked about three methods of doing the APA version:
a) the instructor said the best way is to get out the style guide and do the conversions by hand
b) we explored the Microsoft Word capabilities. Ashley showed the group how the citations are generated after all the sources have been entered (by doing internal citations)
c) the instructor showed NoodleTools.
Monroe's Motivated Sequence
