The OWL. Easybib. Two sure fire ways to get your works cited page correct. Remember to keep the works cited on its own page. Title it: Works Cited. ABC order for the sources. Indent the second line of any entry that goes over one line. Ask me if you have any questions.
We saw some good conclusions today. Brooke Hoffman and Veronica Procaccino both offered some pretty solid ones today in period four. We were able to get some good ideas from Jordan Vargo and A.J. Crawford in period three. All four know that they need to add some things to make their conclusions fully successful, but they are all headed in the right direction. How is your conclusion? Is it on the right path?

Paper is due Friday. What can you do between now and then to make the paper the best it can possibly be?
We started work on our own odes today. You are celebrating someone or something that you know well. You'll be writing 20 lines. It must rhyme. The AABB rhyme scheme is a simple way to go but any rhyme scheme can be used. Have fun with it. Be creative. Don't be silly. Don't offer me any filler lines or rhymes. (A filler line or rhyme is a line or rhyme you use because you can't think of anything else to use. It does little to develop the idea or demonstrate creativity). I won't have you working on those at home for now because I want your focus on the WDIWTLMA paper. But I'll expect you to take full advantage of any time in class given to you. Rhyming dictionaries are great tools, by the way.
We'll visit the IMC tomorrow. We'll take a look at a short story as well. A shower of short stories will soon be raining down upon you. Don't bring an umbrella. Just enjoy the rain.
See you tomorrow.
