Let's look at the Schor questions from yesterday.

"My Friend Michelle" practice.

  Underline all the in-text citations as you read.

Answer these questions in your daybook:

1.  How many in-text citations are there?

2. When you read an in-text citation, check to see if it clearly leads to a source in the Works Cited list. List any problems you find.

3. Are there items on the Works Cited list that were NOT cited in the paper? List them.

4. If you know the page number where information occurred, you should include that in an in-text citation. Please put a star next to each in-text citation in "My Friend Michelle" that SHOULD have included a page number in parentheses. How many are there? [Hint: use the bibliography to help decide if there were page numbers in the source.]

Now open up your Problem paper. Do you already have places that need citations? Do you need sources?

Homework: 

1. Monday the only draft of Problem/ Solution with Sources is due. You should have a Works Cited page AND in-text citations so you know they're correct. Be prepared to upload your draft into TurnItIn in Moodle.

Answer the folowing daybook questions about Schor and MLA:

Please underline all the in-text citations you see in the article.

2. If I wanted to look at the surveys mentioned in that footnote, what source do I need to look at? [the info should be on the Works Cited list]
3. Copy down every author-tag style citation you can find. (Just copy the "according to _____" part.)
4. In paragraph 6 there is a description of an "unmarried Hollywood executive" who bounces checks. If I wanted to read more about him, would I look in Hewitt or Tobias? Explain.
