How do we format formal academic papers?
Objective: Students will be able to format papers in MLA style.
1. Word of the Day (p. 86): brevity
2. Language Lab (p. 91): Use this image as inspiration to write one declarative, one interrogative, and one exclamatory sentence.
3. Writer's Notebook #4: Dear Future Me
4. We discussed the place of audience in writing. Sometimes we write just for ourselves, but perhaps more often we write for an external audience. It is important to know the expectations and requirements of our audience.
5. We reviewed how to format papers in MLA style for this class.
6. Using school computers, we worked independently on our first paper assignment.
For next time: Complete your first paper assignment so that it is ready for submission to the teacher. Bring Writer's Notebook for notebook check #1.
