10/26/17

Today in class we discussed formatting for our intertextuality essay, like in our works cited page the second line of a citation should be a tab over like this:
Michael Lewis. Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game. PDF File, W. W. Norton &

Company, 2003.
We also discussed that an in-text citation for a movie would have the director's last name in the parenthesis if the works cited citation looks like this:
Dir. Bennett Miller. Moneyball. DVD, Columbia Pictures, 2011.
An in-text citation would instead have the film's title in italics in the parenthesis if the works cited citation was like this:
Moneyball. Dir. Bennett Miller. DVD, Columbia Pictures, 2011.
Mr. Rivers then talked about a few other assignments due within the week, which is to listen to the first 15 minutes of a Jordan Peele interview and answer a question and to read page 27-77 of Ready Player One and answer 2 questions. Then we worked on our essays for the rest of the period. This can be extended to the world at large because this can help my citations in future essays.

  1. This is a good start in terms of what we did in class, and the information would be really helpful for students who would benefit from the MLA details. Wise choice to include future assignments too. Keep in mind how you can extend your learning beyond the classroom! Remember that 50% of this blog is about extending our learning into the outside world (which means more than just a sentence saying that “this can be extended to the world at large”-- where? When? How? etc.)
