Students were given the Grimsley High School MLA Style Guide: an important how-to document that you will need for all 4 years here at Grimsley. If you lose your paper copy, a digital copy is available on my website and the school's website. English 1 Classes got rid of the Modules worksheet, and moved on to answering the guided questions with the Preliminary Research Document. Honor students were introduced to thesis statements and completed the Thesis Statement guided packet. Honors students should get their thesis approved by their teacher.

Students worked collaboratively with the media specialist to learn about MLA Citation, why we cite our work, and how. We reviewed pages 32-35 in the MLA style guide handbook.
Questions to Answer and turn in (from the video!): 1. What did Jack do Differently from Diane? 2. Describe 4 reasons for or benefits of citation. 3. What do you think academic reputation means? 4. What is Plagiarism? 5. Using your article from last week, or another article/book/etc., write a citation using MLA format. |
When writing a paper in high school, you must write in MLA Format. MLA dictates not only how you cite your sources, but also how the text should appear on the page. This includes font, font size, spacing, headers, headings, and margins. The following links will be helpful on your journey with MLA format.

The project itself is to write an outline. DO NOT WRITE AN ESSAY. There are many more steps in the writing process before we get to constructing an essay. We're starting off with a narrow lens, only looking at the PLANNING stage of the writing process for this session to make sure we have the key elements of this week mastered or at least developing, so that by the next writing workshop, we can build upon those skills to include the remaining steps in the writing process (drafting, editing, revision, and publishing).

Each Survey is limited to 30 responses, so make sure you do this now rather than later!
