Students turned in their Annotated Works Cited in MLA style. The instructor chose a few at random and we looked at them on the overhead document camera and critiqued them. Some students had chosen complex citations (example: the radio show that was an interview that was on PBS) and did them nearly correctly.
The instructor will look at the AWC and assign a point value which is added to the student's class participation points.
We ran out of time, so on Friday we will cover the poetry assignment and the working thesis statement.
To Do for Next Class:
Continue to research, acquiring sources for the paper. Add the sources to your Annotated Works Cited, even if you do not know if you are going to use them yet.
Think about what you might want your thesis to sound like.

Monday, Sept. 26
Students brought their Annotated Works Cited, which is 10 sources in annotated MLA form. The students critiqued and corrected each other's papers.
First the instructor went over format, which was followed by a closer look at the format of each citation. The model citation was shown on the overhead projector.
Student papers were returned; the assignment for the next class is to bring in the corrected Works Cited.
