Works Cited

Some of you asked for this.
Here's the works cited page I created for my poetry anthology.
The works cited page has examples of citing your own work and citing a song from an album.

Oh, & Moriah, I got a few things wrong in the anthology citation:

Last name, First name. "Title of Essay." Title of Collection. Ed. Editor's Name(s). Place of Publication: Publisher, Year. Page range of entry. Medium of Publication.

Here are a few sources. Thanks to Purdue University.
MLA Works Cited Page: Book
MLA Works Cited Page: Electronic Sources
MLA Works Cited page: Other Common Sources

For Your Consideration

Jessica Hovey, a middle school teacher in Kobe, Japan, posted this on Facebook:

I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. "Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." MLK Jr.

Here is a column explaining how the Facebook posting got disseminated across the internet without the quotation marks that distinguish between what Hovey wrote and what Martin Luther King Jr. wrote. (The excerpt is from a book called Strength to Love.) Have any of you seen the quotation posted on Facebook by friends?

The quotation and its dissemination are important for two reasons. I think at this moment Hovey's post is important to consider and I think we can learn something about how inaccurate information can spread quickly on the internet.

Summer Schedule

ASSIGNMENTS

Here's a list of all the summer work:

1. Invisible Cities quotation response journal (due July 6)
2. Invisible Cities "quotation" essay (due July 19)
3. Response to choice of AP Summer Anthology readings for Invisible Cities (due in the 7/6 comment box by July 12)

4. Invisible Man (Prologue through chapter 11) quotation response journal (due July 19)
5. Invisible Man (Prologue through chapter 11) part to the whole essay (due in the 7/19 comment box by August 2 if you did not attend session 2 or 3)
6. Invisible Man (chapter 12 through Epilogue) quotation response journal (due August 2)
7. Invisible Man Parts to Whole Web (due first day of class August 31)

8. Wide Sargasso Sea quotation response journal^ (due at or by session #4 August 16)
9. Five statements insightfully comparing and/or contrasting Invisible Man and Wide Sargasso Sea (due by Thursday, September 2)

10. Quotation response journal on something else you read this summer (due by Thursday, September 2)

^ Directions for the quotation response journal:

You are required to have at least ten (10) passages quoted from the book with corresponding responses.
Be sure the ten passages are representative of the entire book. In other words, ten passages taken only from the first few chapters or even the last few chapters will not be acceptable. As you read the book you have chosen, identify certain passages that cause you to stop and respond to what you are reading.
The goal of this assignment is to be actively engaged in the reading process and to make inferences rather than summarize.
Students should divide their paper into two columns.

Find a rubric and partial example here. (Side note: according to the rubric the example responses would fall in the "B" range.)
