Citation and the table D#3HW#8-10

The author(me)and audience (the teacher and all the students)for all three writing projects are the same. They vary however, in the purpose. The purpose for WP#1 is to get us started on what we are going to write about. The purpose for WP#2 is to actually learn how to write and annotated bibliography, and the purpose for WP#3 is to actually write about our chosen topic and to tie WP1 and WP2 together. The topics will also very in that they will be based on what we are assigned to do. For example our topic for WP# 1 is to write about what we plan to do.
The book tells us to use technology to expand on what we already know. We obviously know something about what we want to write about, otherwise we wouldn't be writing it. We also, probably know where to start our search. We can however, come across other links and leads while looking at our starting point. If we start with Google, we all know that a billion sites will pop up. When we click on one site however, ads from different sites, and even suggestions of books that might be helpful in our research will pop up. This will lead to new discoveries and more wonderful information for our topic.
Now, it is important to cite sources so it is a good idea to bookmark sites that are used in research that we are not plagiarizing anything and we can easily add it into our works cited page. One of the tricks the author suggested was to site some of the information with in a sentence in out writing (i.e. the author, or title of the book). I usually do this in most of my papers anyway, it makes siting shorter and it is a nice way to embed the information. When doing a works cited page it is important to know the MLA format, that way everyone does it the same way and it is easy for others to find the research that was used in the paper if they want to look it up themselves. It is also important to look at the current way MLA is done as it changes from year to year. Likewise, it is a good idea to remember that periods separate blocks of important information and commas separate information in the same group. For example, there is a period between the author and the title but there is a comma between the authors last name and first name. This about covers the MLA formatting, to see more information look in the textbook or if you have a 2008 or earlier edition this web site http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01/ or go to this site which i love http://www.easybib.com/.
