9th - 12th Writing, May 1

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

Lesson:
We are in the final stages of our final project.

Using handouts I provided, we reviewed writing the rough draft, including the use of parenthetical citation in MLA format. Next, we 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 their complete research project drafts, including:
source cards
note cards
title page
outline
research paper
works cited page

We will spend the class period in read-arounds and helpful suggestions.

If that is sufficient, students will complete any needed revisions on their own the following week, with the final project due on May 15.

If desired or needed, we will schedule an extra optional session early that week, though this class is well on track without it so far.
