Class Work
1. Taking a look at a Works Cited page – p. 176 in Writing Guide. Revisit EasyBib. How does your page measure up?
2. Look at the introduction. Did yours capture the attention of your intended audience? Explain. What is your thesis – what’s your point? Did you give credit to the source within the sentence? Look back at “Cold Comfort” for examples on how to do this. http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/composition/cause_effect.htm
3. Discuss how to organize. Are you going to focus on the causes more than the effects? Or, is the information leading you to discuss the effects more than the causes? Have you found any suggestions for solutions? If so, what are they? If not, what do you suggest?
4. Thinking about reliable web sources – pp. 84-91 in Writing Guide.
