POSTING YOUR NOVEL ON NANO/IN-TEXT CITATIONS, WORKS CITED PAGE

SENIORS: After every writing session, you should post your novel from Google Docs into Nanowrimo.  Here is a link on how to do that.  I will be checking your word count starting at 3 pm tomorrow (Saturday).  I also need to read what you are writing, so share what you have with me.  Remember to title it: 1 Last name First name, Nano.

There will be a Notebook Check starting on Wednesday, Nov.12 Here is a link to the titles of the assignments.

SOPHOMORES: When writing an Expository essay, it is important to cite your sources; this prevents plagiarism.  It doesn't matter if you are using a direct quote or you are paraphrasing, you must cite your source.  Here is a link to help you.  Another requirement is the creation of a Works Cited page.  Here are some links to show you what that looks like: Link #1; Link #2.

Sometimes, it is helpful to summarize an article in order to understand it and find out if it will be useful to you.  Pick any of the articles we've read so far (Green Day, Baseball Palaces, Hospital Hand Washing, Peta Sues Seaworld, Fast Food), reread it and share with me a summary.  Use this template to write your summary.  Remember to title your work correctly when sharing with me: Period  Last name  First name, Summary  (2 Jones Joe, Summary). The due date for this assignment is tonight at 6pm.

Lastly, there will be a Notebook Check starting on Wednesday, Nov.12Here is a link to the titles of the assignments.
