Monday, Sept 20: Anchoring: tidying up last week's work/ MLA heading

 

At this point in time, I should have three grammar exercises from you: 

                      Monday, September 12: there, their, they're

                      Tuesday, September 13: then, than

                      Wednesday, September 14: fewer, less

And: three journal entries.  I am looking forward to reading these!

And: About Me Slide from Thursday/ Friday, September 15 and 16

Remember that everything we do in class is on our class blog. Last week, you had hard copies in class, but you can always copy from the blog (highlight/ copy and paste onto a google doc) and share directly with me: dorothy.parker@rcsdk12.org.

Thank you; thank you to the many folks who sent me the wonderful slides. Some are still missing. Over the next couple of days, I will be able to grade and put all your hard work into power school, as this has now been set up for me. Missing work will have a ZERO as a holding place. Get your work in and erase that grade. Any missing work turned in by this Friday will receive full credit.

Starting next week, late work will be worth 50 points, if there is not a legal excuse per school policy, which allows you ten days to make up work. 

Remember that it is your responsibility to check the blog, if you are absent. 

In class: 

Please collect your notebooks from you class shelf. If you would, please, on the cover put the class period.

On a new page (remember you should have three entries; so this is number 4.) If you did not complete the short quickwrites from last week, they were as follows:

Monday: "If only.."

Tuesday: "What is your most lovable quality? "

Wednesday:  "Should one fear failure?"

Note: honors classes - 150 words

MLA heading practice.

What does MLA stand for and why is it used?

MLA (Modern Language Association) style is:

• A format for writing research papers.
• Used to write papers in because it offers standardized guidelines for in-text citations.

MLA is usually used in the humanities, like English, history, or drama. APA is normally used in the social sciences, like psychology, sociology, or social work. W

MLA header format

The MLA header follows the same format as the rest of an MLA paper:

• 1-inch margins
• Double-spaced
• Left-aligned
• 12 point standard font (e.g. Times New Roman)

Put each piece of information on a separate line, and don’t use periods or other punctuation at the end of each line. The header and title should be in plain text, without any styling.

Example:

Your Name

Your instructor's name 

Class/ assignment:  English II-(period number), name of assignment (

Due date:  Note the correct format     day month written out date

                                                            **************************************

For today:
