​

In Text Citation Review-Pop Quiz
Review quiz and correct as class.

MLA Citations
Use the MLA Cheat Sheet to perfect your citations. Call Lori or Grayson over if you want specific help. Don’t wait until the last minute to do MLA citations (especially in text ones), as this becomes more and more arduous of a time sink the longer you put it off. 

MLA Formatting
By the end of the day, we will post an MLA formatting checklist, that will guide you step-by-step through formatting your rough draft correctly.  You should plan on spending time tomorrow during off-campus time to complete this step. It’s fairly mindless, and can serve as a good break from writing!

Work Priorities: by Wednesday at start of class I will have done:

1. Completed a rough draft of parts 1, 2, 3, and at least 50% of part 4 of my thesis. 
2. Started creating a Works Cited that includes ALL the works that are paraphrased or quoted in the thesis
3. Fixed in-text citations​ throughout what you have written so far
