  1. I was just wondering how long the thesis has to be.

    Thanks Najat 8/7

    (P.S I vote on #4)

  2. Najat,

    your thesis should be a sentence, no longer. The outline for your three arguments should each be a least two to three sentences for each argument.

    Good Luck!

  3. I'm just wondering if we will be writing an essay for this and if the essay is going to be 5 paragraphs can i hand it in on Monday because I've already written up.

    Thanks Najat 8/7

  4. Yes, we are writing an essay.

    You may bring your essay in, but think of it as a rough draft. I will not be receiving essays until the end of the week. There are expectations that need to be met and strategies that should be discussed and learned.

    You are ahead of the game though. Let that be your consolation prize.

  5. Mr. del Sol,
    Your blog looks great! Thanks for uploading the videos! I will vote in secret and tell you my choice for #1 although I enjoyed the Ben re-mix and the clips of Funk-e and Dan :)
    How can I choose?

  6. Merci beaucoup!

    I am glad you like it. To vote for Best Plasticine Stop Motion Film just place a number in the comment box and I will tally them all up at the end of the week. Of course, if you would like to vote in secret just slip a number into my backpack when no one is looking (wink wink nudge nudge).

  7. Well the obvious winner here is group 2. And my vote counts as two points. So there...

  8. That's ONE point for group 2. Nobody gets magical voting powers. That just wouldn't be fair to all the non-wizards and non-witches.

    Nice try though.

  10. Hey Mr. Del Sol,
    If the publisher/sponsor and the date of resource creation is unknown do we just put Unknown there instead?

    Thanks Najat 8/7

  11. If the date is unknown use the abbreviation n.d. (no date).
    If the publisher is unknown use the abbreviation n.p. (no publisher)

    Good questions

  12. If you are using someone else's story or quote (you heard them say it) what should you do? Do you just reference their name? Also, I vote for group four (group two is a close second)

  13. Julia,

    the format for this would be as such:

    Last name, First name. Personal Interview. Date.

    For instance, if the quote was said by a man named Adam Smith on February 27th, 2012 the citation would look like this:

    Smith, Adam. Personal Interview. 27 February 2011.

    Is this helpful?

  15. The art house film about a young sailor girl stranded on a desert island with two living coconuts and a turltle, created by four young ladies from Toronto. I am not surprised you have voted for this one. A future plasticine stop motion cult classic.

    Definitely, one of my favourites.

  16. I did all of my work on my essay on the plane so all my ideas i came up with. So I dont know how I can cite my work...

  17. Sarah,

    do your best to find some quotations or statistics to support your ideas. Students are expected to provide five sources of information to support their arguments. Hop on the internet and try to find some information/ideas/statistics/quotations related to your essay subject.


    Happy Hunting!

  18. ok and what if the website doesn't give the name of the author\publisher? or who it was created by

    ReplyDelete
  19. Sarah,

    provide as much information as you can following the MLA Format. No author, then refer to title, and a publisher/organization is almost always provided.

    Alright?
