Today Mr. RIvers opened up by telling us about what we were going to do today, which is to continue to work on our senior papers. He asked us if we had any questions and people were asking questions about what we were supposed to do for our senior papers the questions. The questions that the students asked helped me a lot because now I have a better understanding of what to do with the essay, such as what order we are supposed to put our literature review and our synthesis paper if we were to have it in MLA formatting or in APA formatting. Also, I was able to understand how to put my paper in MLA format and in APA format as well. Mr. Rivers seemed very happy that many questions were being asked, just like how people ask questions, they get answers that will give them more knowledge about what they are supposed to do.  However, nobody did ask about the word count, so it was very confusing when some people found out that the literature review word count was separated from the the synthesis paper, making the word count for the whole essay a different word count. This can be interpreted in real life when people when people are told something that is heard differently from that person, like in school for a project. People get bad grades sometimes because they misunderstood the explanation and then they don’t understand why they got that bad grade in the first place. It’s always good to make sure you know what you’re doing so you don’t get a bad grade on something. We basically did our essay the entire period and at the end he told us to make sure that our essay is handed in by 11:59 tomorrow night and lates do mean zeros as well.
