In-Class:

• View a brief lesson on MLA style and documentation.

• View a lesson on embedding quotes and using transitional phrases.

• Next, write the first draft of your paper, using MLA internal citations where you feature a paraphrase, summary or direct quote. Format your works cited page.

• View the options for creating a polished presentation. 

• Exchange papers with your group.  

  • Decide what to include in your brief slideshow and what to eliminate. 

  • Create your shared presentation.

• Evaluate: Use the slideshow to evaluate how it went. What can we learn from our first debate. Which areas can we improve? What worked well as far as our small group collaboration and whole class interaction?

• Revisit the Unit 1 resource page and note what makes a source scholarly versus popular.

At-Home:

• Locate one article from the databases posted on Classroom and be ready to share it with your group next week.
