Students began correcting DOL sentences and analyzing them by writing the grammar rules applicable to the corrections.
Students reviewed the MLA Citation Style format and began writing the Works Cited page rough draft. Below is a copy of the notes and sample entry page.
Notes
* Arrange the items on your reference list alphabetically by author, interfiling books, articles, etc.
* Doublespace all lines.
* Indent the second and following lines 5 spaces (or one half inch).
* If no author is given, start with the title.
* Abbreviate the names of all months except May, June, and July.
* If the paging of a magazine or newspaper article is continued elswhere in the issue, include only the first page followed by a plus sign (ex. 25+.).
* If the encyclopedia does not arrange its articles alphabetically, treat the encyclopedia article as if it were a book article. Specific volume and page numbers are cited in the text, not in the list of references.
* Gale Reference Book: cite the original source being reprinted as shown under Book, Journal Article, Newspaper or Magazine Article, etc. The example shows a Magazine Article. Then include the citation information for the reference book.
* Websites: include the title of the web page, the name of the entire web site, the organization that posted it (this may be the same as the name of the website). Also include the full date the page was created or last updated (day, month, year if available) and the date you looked at it.
* Internet Magazine Articles: Include:
o The name of the database (underlined) and the company that created it and its home webpage;
o The full date of the article (day, month, year if available) and the date you looked at it;
+ If you are citing a journal instead of a magazine, include the volume (and issue number) and date as shown under the Journal Style above.
o The library or other organization (and its location) that provided you with access to the database.
o As for page numbers, different databases will provide different information. Include the range of pages (ex. 25-28.); or the starting page followed by a hyphen, a blank space, and a period (ex. 64- .); or the total number of pages or paragraphs (ex. 12 pp. or 33 pars.). If no page information is given, then leave it out.
* The rules concerning a title within a title are not displayed here for purposes of clarity. See the printed version of the manual for details.
* For documents and situations not listed here, see the printed version of the manual.
* Other Styles

Rough drafts are due no later than Monday. Students should use the handout on parenthetical documentation given to them by Mrs. Hendrix to assist them with their internal citations.
Have a safe weekend!

As we continue working on our research paper, students finalized the last steps of the rough draft that were due today. Mrs. Hendrix reviewed with them the process of internal documentation yesterday. This is the third year our students have gone through the research process, so many of the steps should be very familiar to them.
The Georgia Writing Assessment Test is January 17th, so we will continue to focus on writing until that point.
