Important: The deadline for the "I Am" paper has been extended. It will be due on Feb. 19.
We talked about preparation for speeches. The instructor answered questions about the interviews for the "I Am" paper.
Two interviews were assigned for this week, and we traded the interviews and the instructor checked them in.
Next we had a quiz on Ch. 1. We graded the quizzes in class.
The instructor gave a brief overview of MLA citation, which is what we learned during the remainder of the class. We went to the library and wrote citations for a book with two authors, an encyclopedia entry, and a newspaper or magazine entry.
After writing the citations, we formatted the MLA citation page by adding a header, centering the title, italicizing names of books, added quotations to articles, and then we double-spaced the entire page.
Next week:
"How-to" speeches. The first people to go will be the four who were supposed to go 2/5, next will be the volunteers and if we run out of volunteers, the instructor will call on students. All students must be ready for the 12th but if a student has a good deal of equipment to bring, it should be brought up with the instructor via e-mail.
Read Ch's. 1-3.
Work on "I Am" paper.
Bring MLA citation guide, as we will be working with online databases.
