Workshop/Using Sources Effectively (12/3)

This topic is about using sources effectively which includes properly citing the sources.  We covered the MLA Sample Works Cited Page from Purdue OWL.  We learned how to properly cite several different type of works, in addition we were asked to search for OWL at Purdue for further information on citations.  We were informed of this website earlier in the class as it has a lot of useful information for writers.  The url for this particular reference is http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/7.
In addition to the above worksheet we were given a handout "Incorporating Sources effectively."  This handout elaborates the the cited page by including example sentences and paragraphs which show how to incorporate a source into a paper.

Note: use the ‘special’ hanging sentence function on the paragraph toolbar to drop the citation.

The effect of all true education is “not only gaining some practical means of helping present life, but making the life mean more than it meant before”

Gatto

“of course teachers themselves are products of the same twelve-year compulsory school programs that so thoroughly bore their students, and as school personnel they are trapped inside structures even more rigis than those imposed imposed upon the children.

“the aim… is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry”
