Do not allow your thoughts to become stagnant. You want to have these questions answered by the time you come to class tomorrow. By now you should have quite a few notes you have generated about your theory (even though your theory may be a bit on the fluid side).

HERE IS THE INFORMATION ON THE RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT!!
*****PLEASE NOTE: ALL RESEARCH IS EXPECTED TO BE CITED CORRECTLY. (MLA)
THIS IS UNDERSTOOD. THIS MEANS I WILL NOT TELL YOU EVERY TIME TO USE MLA, BUT I WILL EXPECT IT.
****MOST OF YOU WILL USE THE INTERNET FOR YOUR RESEARCH FOR THIS FIRST PROJECT.
Basic Style for Citations of Electronic Sources (Including Online Databases)Here are some common features you should try to find before citing electronic sources in MLA style. Not every Web page will provide all of the following information. However, collect as much of the following information as possible both for your citations and for your research notes:
- Author and/or editor names (if available)
- Article name in quotation marks.
- Title of the website, project, or book in italics.
- Any version numbers available, including editions (ed.), revisions, posting dates, volumes (vol.), or issue numbers (no.).
- Publisher information, including the publisher name and publishing date.
- Take note of any page numbers (p. or pp.) or paragraph numbers (par. or pars.).
- URL (without the https://) DOI or permalink.
- Date you accessed the material (Date Accessed)—While not required, it is highly recommended, especially when dealing with pages that change frequently or do not have a visible copyright date.
- Remember to cite containers after your regular citation. Examples of containers are collections of short stories or poems, a television series, or even a website. A container is anything that is a part of a larger body of works.
Rising Freshmen:
You will choose one of the following books to read/work with for ONE of our first projects of English 1. You will have an at-home project as well as an in-class project starting on the first day of school. This means you will have TWO MAJOR PROJECTS starting on the same day. Because of the heavy volume of reading and the strenuous writing, I wanted to offer you the list for the at-home project early in case you want to read over the summer. HOWEVER, YOU CANNOT READ FOR CREDIT WITHOUT FIRST GETTING APPROVAL FROM ME. Here is how you do this:
After you thoroughly research EACH book, choose the book you want to read. You must send me proof of research for each book. This means YOU write a paragraph explaining the book. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE FROM A WEBSITE. IT WILL BE OBVIOUS, AND I WILL REJECT IT. I WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE IN THIS PARAGRAPH.
You also need to send me the title of the book you wish to read. I need valid reasons for your choice. This means you write me a paragraph telling me WHY you chose this book, your expectations for this book, and your plans for reading it.
**This is a lot of research and writing, so do not wait until the last minute. If you do not choose to do it by this deadline, this will be your homework the first night of school. This means you will turn it in the SECOND day of school.
You will submit your research and book choice to me via email at [email protected] and WAIT for my response. If you do not hear back from me within 24 hours, you sent it to the wrong email. Try again. Once I approve your choice (meaning I send you back an email telling you I approve it) you are free to obtain a copy of the book and start reading. I have copies of some of these books in our school library.
THIS OPPORTUNITY IS BEING OFFERED TO YOU UNTIL MAY 23RD SO I CAN RESPOND BY MAY 24TH. I WILL NOT RESPOND PAST MAY 24TH, SO YOU WILL BE FORCED TO WAIT UNTIL THE FALL.
Book List is as follows:
A Tale of Two Cities-Dickens
A Separate Peace-Knowes
Moby Dick-Melville
The Book Thief-Zusak
Of Mice and Men-Steinbeck
Great Expectations-Dickens
The Count of Monte Cristo-Dumas
Best,
Mrs. B
