Week 7 assignments (March 8 – 14)

Quick version (everything due by Sunday, March 21): NOTE CHANGE TO END OF BREAK FOR DUE DATE

    1. Read about Finding and evaluating sources, Drafting: integrating sources, and Citation: why and how.
    2. Find three possible sources that you could use in your Text-wrestling essay as part of your response. Write a short post that includes the three sources, the MLA Works Cited entry for each source, and a short evaluation of each source (does it include relevant info, is it authoritative and how can you tell, is it unbiased and how can you tell, and is it current enough for your purposes).
    3. Complete your rough draft of Essay 2 by adding a paragraph introduction to your summary and your response. The response should be substantive (maybe not quite as long as your summary, but at least a few paras.) and must include info from at least one additional outside source (beyond the main article you’re summarizing). Try to do a Works Cited for the sources used, including the original article–this is only a rough draft, so you’ll have the chance to fix it if necessary. Post completed rough draft on your blog by Sunday night, March 21.

  1. Could you give an example of the MLA Work Cited entry for each source?; I’m not sure how to do that.
