Figuring MLA Out

This week, students have been working to format a paper using MLA Style, which is set by the Modern Language Association. They will be using this in high school and we will be using MLA Style later in the year to cite the sources that we find. Thanks for answering any questions they might have had at home when formatting their documents!

Below is a picture of students playing a game to make us familiar with MLA headings. We turned our desks into a sheet of computer paper and laid out the pages silently, so there were multiple hand signals going on!

For the rest of the year, we'll be distinguishing between plagiarizing and paraphrasing so students know how to handle a source when they use it.
