Class Work

1. Let's look at EasyBib and annotated bibliographies one more time.

www.easybib.com

Tips:
A. I asked for an annotated bibliography. That means that you write one or two sentences about each article read. On EasyBib, there is a place to do that. Let's find it.
B. Be sure you turn the document into a real Word document. There are two buttons that you must hit. Then you need to open Word. Your perfectly formatted Works Cited page will appear.
C. THEN, copy the entire document and paste it into the correct space in MyCompLab. The formatting should hold. Let's try!

4. The best way to get the hang of this is to give it a try. You have identified an audience who needs to know your opinion on body art. You have a personal story to include. You have located some excellent information about your topic. Now you need to write the draft for homework.

• Decide how to begin. By the end of the first paragraph, the reader should know your stance. You also need to capture the attention of the readers! You could use a quotation. You could tell your story. You could use numbers. It is possible to quote an expert! In short, make them want to read more.
• You are on your way. Decide what to discuss next. It is time for a quotation or summary or paraphrase from your research. CITE YOUR SOURCE with an in-text citation. For the next three paragraphs, try to include a quotation, summary, or paraphrase from your research.
• End the paper with power.
• Create a perfectly beautiful Works Cited page. Only include the sources you actually cited.

Bring a paper copy of the draft to class on Thursday or be able to pull it up on the computer. You can do this by saving to a jump-drive or sending an e-mail attachment to yourself. Your draft will be three-five pages.
