FRP: Updates and Where you should be!

Thank you all for your hard work on the FRP this week. At this point, your outline should be complete (and include proper parenthetical citations and quotes). This weekend, you will complete body paragraphs 1 and 2. Please continue to work on your annotated bibliography in noodle bib.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thursday

On Thursday, we will be meeting in our regular classroom. I will be out, as I have my very last China class!

Please bring to class:

• FRP binder and ALL notecards
• Outline (this will be collected by the sub).

This is going to be a working session. You will be peer editing outlines and then working on your project. You will not have access to computers, so make sure that you print everything that you need out.

See you Friday!

MLA In-Text Citations

The following information is from Purdue University's OWL (on-line writing lab).

Basic In-Text Citation Rules

In MLA style, referring to the works of others in your text is done by using what is known as parenthetical citation. This method involves placing relevant source information in parentheses after a quote or a paraphrase.

General Guidelines

• The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1.) upon the source medium (e.g. Print, Web, DVD) and (2.) upon the source’s entry on the Works Cited (bibliography) page.
• Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page.

For specific examples about in-text citations for author-page style, print sources with known author, print sources with no known author, etc please click here for samples

FRP Catch Up!

At this point, you should be caught up with your FRP calendars. If you are behind, or have missed any intermediate check ins, please make sure to catch up tonight.

Tomorrow, students in E and G block must walk into the computer lab with the draft of both their outline and thesis so we can focus on how to work with quotations and citations.

I am available after school for extra help, I encourage you to come see me!

New FRP Rubric

This rubric will be used to grade your final paper. We will go over updates and changes in class.

FRP links: Schism, Vietnam, Indian Ocean Questions

Here is some fun schism stuff. There may be a diatribe of one group against another mixed in but the history is accurate (though perhaps skewed to make their own team "right")

If you are researching the Swahili Coast cities, or if you are looking at Gupta achievements, the following site will be helpful.

Check out this article called Ancient Sphere Where Cultures Mingled --it does a great job looking at the influences on Vietnamese art over time.
