Assignment:

Complete exercise 1 on page 481 of the textbook regarding essays from Chapters 8 -12.

Using another essay from chapters 8-12 of the book and examine the different ways an author uses source materials to support claims. Begin by highlighting the signal phrases you find attached to borrowed ideas or direct quotations. Explain how well they introduce or frame the material. Then categorize the various ways the author actually uses particular sources, and write a paragraph assessing the author’s handling of sources in the piece. Explain if the borrowed materials integrate well with the author’s own thoughts. Explain if they represent an effective synthesis of ideas.

Log on to Wikipedia and view the entry for Local Food, paying special attention to how the article acknowledges sources and how Wikipedia alerts readers that articles may contain unreliable or uncredited information. Explain whether or not you think the material is accurately sourced and cited.

MLA and APA styles differ in several important ways, both for in-text citations and for lists of sources. Define which academic disciplines subscribe to MLA and which to APA. Then list as many differences as you can between the two, then for each difference speculate about reasons for the differences.
