APELC Class Notes
Second and fourth juniors and seniors, we did the same as your peers the day before. Check their notes of objectives and details.
All APELCers, remember the following as you continue your research and writing:
Before asking clarifying questions of your interview subject in an email, please politely ask if they have the time and inclination to attend your needs. Don’t simply introduce yourself and the assignment and begin asking questions; rather, give your interview subject an opportunity to assent to or decline your request for information.
When completing your first draft/outlines write in complete sentences, punctuated appropriately, to create topical paragraphs that explain your worldview content and ideas. Focus on worldview facts and your evaluations; include narrative elements if possible, but the bulk of this can wait until after we return for spring break. Your submission should be no less than four (4) pages.
For important and current MLA formatting information, there’s no better resource than Purdue’s Online Writing Lab; in particular see:
- MLA Formatting and Style Guide
- MLA In-Text Citations: The Basics
- MLA Formatting Quotations
- MLA Works Cited Page: Basic Format
I’ll see you Monday.
NOTE. I added several assignments to your class page. Please note their due dates to avoid anxiety.
