Research Collection

All Eng. 10 students are now collecting research that they will be using next week to write a 5 – 8 page research paper.  Students will only be able to use their Source and Note cards to write the paper.  That means that what you are doing now in class is going to determine how much information you have to work with when you begin writing. Please remember the following:

  • Evaluate the relevance, reliability, and possible bias of the each source prior to taking your notes.
  • Check the proper MLA format for each source from the blog postings here, the MLA manual, or Purdue OWL. Do NOT rely on the handout examples or an online citation generator.
  • Use previous day’s blog posts to review the requirements.

About the Author

My life has taken many paths. I grew up in Farmland, Indiana and graduated from Monroe Central High School in 1979. Yes I know that seems like a long time ago to most of you. After I graduated from High School, I went into the U. S. Navy. Not a lot of women enlisted in the Navy back then. Boot camp was still segregated (that means there were only women in my boot camp) and yes, boot camp is as bad as they say it is. I survived though and began seeing a little more of the world than just our lovely corn and soy bean fields of Indiana. I was an advanced avionics technician and worked on F14 Tomcat jets in the Navy. Back then women couldn't go on ships but I was stationed in Bermuda for a little over a year. Bermuda is beautiful and the people are warm and friendly. I married my husband while in the Navy and we eventually moved to Minnesota.
