Don't forget: YOUR WORKS CITED PAGE MUST BE THE LAST PAGE OF YOUR PAPER!!!

Working with the Research You Have Collected

You must create a list of Works Cited. You can create this list using either http://www.noodletools.com/ or http://www.easybib.com/ so that you have properly formatted and properly punctuated citations. Then, export your list into Word.

For sources that have citations available, you can copy and paste the entire citation into your list once it has been created in Word.

Once you have all of your sources in a Word document, you must make sure that you have it properly formatted and that your list of sources is in alphabetical order. Your Works Cited Page should look like this:

http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/12/

Any time you use any ideas or words from a source, you must give credit to that source, even if you have paraphrased the idea. To do this, see:

Classwork for 12/16

You have 15 minutes to revise your paragraphs. You should work on correcting punctuation and sentence structure, adding parallel structure, verbals, and imagery. These revisions should be made regardless of your original grade. The more effort you put into your revision, the higher your grade will be. This is not just about adding commas. This is about writing and how we can always improve upon what we have written.

When you are finished revising, please print your revisions and give your paper to me.

If you are finished before the time is up, please take out your book and read. Remember, the reading up to page 227 is due on Friday.

There is a second assignment that we will be working on for the remainder of the period. You MUST finish your revisions in fifteen minutes.

Do not close the file for your paragraph.
