1. Reading Progress Update: 
Tell me about what you read today. READING PROGRESS FORM

2. Citations: 

• You need AT LEAST two cited sources about the problem you are writing about. 
• And you need to CITE them correctly. 
• In an MLA citation you need to include all the information you can about the source. Don't panic if there is some information that you don't have for a source. 
• You can use Citation Machine or other citation makers to help you format your citation. Remember I made you a video tutorial about how to do that. 
• List the full citation in a "Works Cited" or "Bibliography" section at the end of your essay. 
• Include a parenthetical in text citation in your essay right after you quote or paraphrase your source. Watch THIS VIDEO for tips on that. 
• Did you use an UPfront magazine article in your research? Citations for those HERE. 

3. Proofreading: 

Check your paper carefully for obvious spelling, punctuation, and capitalization mistakes. Fix them. 

Don't loose points on the rubric because of things you could have easily fixed. 

STOP! CHECK YOURSELF! DO YOU HAVE TWO SOURCES CORRECTLY CITED? DID YOU PROOFREAD? 

Okay, if you really already did 1-3 above then you can keep going. 

4. Hyperlink your essay and add images: 

• You know a lot about your topic and you have found lots of cool resources. 
• Now is the time to hyperlink to those other interesting sources in your essay. 
• You can also add 2-3 images that relate to your topic, but BE SURE you are allowed to use those images. They must be free of copyright and you must cite them in your "Works Cited" section of your paper. 

Reminders: 
Finish reading book #5. We will be writing about it after winter break.
