Writing 99 Friday

We organized for the portfolio. A list of the categories was put on the board. Students are supposed to bring their papers next Friday, organized as on the list.

Next we read through the assignment for Essay #4. We discussed the essay questions in class. Students were given a hard copy but the essay is also posted online.

Finally we did in-text citations. We went through a model MLA paper on the overhead screen. We saw how each author or article was listed in the Works Cited.

We worked through exercises from the writershelp.com site. We went around the room, with each person taking a citation example

Next week:

Bring your portfolio, per above.

Turn in essay on either of the two questions. It must have in-text citations and a Works Cited.
