7th - 8th Writing, May 1

(Oops! I forgot to hit the publish button on this post! Sorry this is late.)

We are in the final stages of our final project.

Lesson:
Using handouts I provided, we discussed in detail how to write the rough draft, including the use of parenthetical citation in MLA format.

We also briefly covered how to prepare the title page and the works cited page. To aid with that, we played with citationmachine.net as a resource for formatting sources.

Assignment:
Students are to bring as much as they have of their research project drafts, including:
source cards
note cards
title page
outline
research paper
works cited page

We will spend the class period in preliminary read-arounds, checking for completeness and correctness, helping one another over any rough spots or snags.

Additionally, we will schedule an extra optional session for early next week, to give us enough time to dig in (over pizza) and polish all the research papers.

The final project due on May 15.
