October 17 Classwork and Homework

Classwork

We were in the LRC focusing on doing our own, independent, individual research related to our assigned topic for the Odyssey Research Project.  We received and went over the following handouts: Odyssey Research Project Calendar, MLA Citation Guide, Homework Due Monday.

Homework Due Monday

1.     Annotated source – Print out one of the sources you found.  Read it and annotate it.  I will collect it on Monday and return it to you on Tuesday.
2.     Individual Bibliography/Works Cited – This must be TYPED and follow all MLAguidelines.  You MUST have a total of 5 sources.  One of your sources must be a print source.
a.     If you are using electronic sources you must include the source’s url (web site address) in the citation.  Use the following (taken from the Purdue Owl website) as an example for how your web citations should look:
For instructors or editors who still wish to require the use of URLs, MLA suggests that the URL appear in angle brackets after the date of access. Break URLs only after slashes.

Editor, author, or compiler name (if available). Name of Site. Version number. Name of institution/organization affiliated with the site (sponsor or publisher), date of resource creation (if available). Medium of publication. Date of access. <url>.
