Answer these questions in your daybook:

1.  How many in-text citations are there?

2. When you read an in-text citation, check to see if it clearly leads to a source in the Works Cited list. List any problems you find.

3. Are there items on the Works Cited list that were NOT cited in the paper? List them.

[Hint: use the bibliography to help decide if there were page numbers in the source.]

If the courts are in charge...

5. Do you see a problem here?

If there's time....better news, for some: music... TV iTunes

Staples' essay:  As a softy who is scarcely able to take a knife to a raw chicken -- let alone hold one to a person' throat -- I was ....

How would you fix this situation?

Now we see what TurnItIn can do to help you check that you are citing your sources clearly. Check your paraphrasing?

Open your draft in the Turnitin document reader.
In your daybook, copy down one of YOUR sentences that uses coordination to connect two or more clauses, and one sentence that uses subordination to connect two clauses.
