Unit 4.2

Wednesday, November 6

17 Days Until Culmination!• Objective: I will learn how to use in-

text citations in my essay and give sources credit in a works cited page.

• Standards: W.9-10.1a-e

• Journal Question: Why is it important to include in-text citations and a works cited page?

Paragraphs #2 - 4

• Look at the outline on the handout I gave you.

• How do the thesis statement and your paragraphs match up?

• Use 3 colors to identify each sentence in my example. (one additional color for sentence #4)

• Note: Paragraph #4 needs a counter claim and a refutation! It’s different than paragraph #2-3.

Go back to my example

• Here was my thesis statement:

• In my opinion, money should be spent so that school lunches are improved so students feel healthier, happier, and feel recharged for their afternoon classes.

• Reason #1 -> Paragraph #2 Students feel healthier

• Reason #2 -> Paragraph #3 Students feel happier

• Reason #3 -> Paragraph #4 Feel recharged

<- 1 2 ->

<- 3

In-text Citation

• In almost every case, you should cite in text using (Author’s Last name, Pg. #). • Make sure the period is always OUTSIDE of the

parentheses!

• However, sometimes you don’t have page numbers! If it’s a poem you can use line #s.

• If there is NO author, as a last resort, use the title of the work.

• See handouts for help.

Works Cited Page

• Look at the handouts for help.

• For the example I used in my paragraph, I got the article from a website (health.com).

• In my works cited page it would look like this:

Rones, Nancy. Eat your way to health and happiness. November 2013. <http://www.health.com/ health/gallery/0,,20621800,00.html> .
