Where to start?
We talked about March Break: ski trips, mountain goats, severed fingers, tornadoes, and much much more. We reviewed the Success Criteria and rubric for final copies of essays. Lastly, we looked at the week ahead and its homework.
The Success Criteria is now posted outside the classroom. It is also listed on one of the threads below titled 'March Break'. Come visit me tomorrow at lunch hour if you need help with your essays.

Dear Mr.Del sol,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how many sentences you wanted in french for the guernica collage?
Thanks,
Sarah Roberts
Sarah,
ReplyDeletethe paragraph/s should be at least five sentences, which is on the short side.
Bon Chance.
Dear Mr.Del sol,
ReplyDeleteWhich part of the blog did you say all the MLA stuff was on?
Thanks.
Also do we only put the resources we used to find facts on MLA or do we put it on MLA even if we just read it to get a better general idea which influenced my essay.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
I apologize, Larry.
ReplyDeleteI have looked over the blog and the full details of MLA are not on it. Some examples of MLA can be found in conversations with students.
Do you still have the MLA handout?
You only need to reference materials used to find specific ideas and facts, BUT if some of the materials you read did really impact your understanding then it is intellectually honest to include them in the works cited page.
What are your other questions regarding MLA?
Thank you Mr.Del Sol. I found the hand out, but I'll come tomorrow at lunch to check if I did the stuff correctly. My essay is only 996 words long now!
ReplyDeleteGood work, Larry.
DeleteEditing can be tough, but it is necessary!
See you tomorrow.
Do you put quotations for facts of statistics when citing your essay.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
*Facts or statistics
ReplyDeleteLarry,
ReplyDeleteyou do not need to put quotations around statistics, only if you are using the exact words that surround the statistic. You only use quotation marks when you are using somebody else's exact words. If you take the statistic or fact from another source, still cite it In-text and among your works cited.
