Classwork and Homework

Today in class, we looked at sources and APA. We hopped right in and learned from swimming in the deep end! :) The one thing I want to remind you of is to not stress out about this. We will have lots of time to get better at this throughout the semester!  Here is the PowerPoint we used in class (Use it to help you with your homework).

Homework: 

  • Complete the APA Reference Game worksheet 
  • Bring 3 sources that you have looked at or used when writing about your paper. 
    • You need to have the author, year, title, and publishing information.
    • You can use the sources we used for background knowledge, or new ones that you have looked at to get additional information (The ones from a couple of days ago). 
    • Write them out like the example below. This is one of the background knowledge sources. It was very hard, so I did it for you.
    • DO NOT SPEND MORE THAN 40 MINS ON ALL OF THE HOMEWORK - TIME YOURSELF! I want you to just try. It doesn't have to be perfect.
