Answer the folowing daybook questions about Schor and MLA:

Please underline all the in-text citations you see in the article.

1. The first in-text citation is a footnote, which is unusual. Why did the author use a footnote, do you think?
2. If I wanted to look at the surveys mentioned in that footnote, what source do I need to look at? [the info should be on the Works Cited list]
3. Copy down every author-tag style citation you can find. (Just copy the "according to _____" part.)
4. In paragraph 6 there is a description of an "unmarried Hollywood executive" who bounces checks. If I wanted to read more about him, would I look in Hewitt or Tobias? Explain.
5. The very last sentence is followed by only a number. What source is that page in?
6. How many in-text citations did you underline?    How many sources are listed on the Works Cited list?
7. What's the oldest source used?       When do you think the piece was researched? How important is currency to this topic (using recent sources).

Do you know what you need to do to your Problem paper to turn it into the Problem/ Solution paper?

Homework:

1. Revise your Problem paper into the Problem/ Solution with MLA style sources. Only draft due Tuesday. Have BOTH in-text citations and a Works Cited page ready for others to look at. Be prepared to upload the draft to TurnItIn in Moodle.
