APA Style Citation

Tuesday, February 28, Day 13

This class period will be spent discussing APA citation in  more depth (bibliography) and the proper formatting of an essay, important things for both this unit and the next (argumentative source-based writing). Before that, though, I'll give you a quick example of what using your own words really means.

1. In Your Own Words
2. APA Citation, formatting
3. Free work (if time)

***Instead of writing full-length summaries, you can write summary paragraphs. I will grade the summaries I have for you based on our first criteria, but if you haven't yet finished summary 2 or 3, write it as a paragraph. Our final summary, which will combine all of these summaries/articles, will be a total of 2 pages, double-spaced. This will save us time--both you and me--during this short unit. If you've already finished writing summary 2 or 3 at the full-length, I will give you extra points for the time and effort you put in.

All three summaries are due Thursday 3/1. We'll start our Synthesis Chart then, which is pretty fun. :) Before class, think about how each of our articles relates to each other. What are their main ideas? Which are the same? Which are different?

Numbers rule! Link
