Class was really fun - it's too bad you weren't there! I was a bit confused with the Beowulf cartoon...not doing it, but turning it in. I'm pretty sure most of us (myself included) took ours home. Was that alright? Ms. Thomas didn't know what we should do with them...
Oliver--we'll find you someone to interview. I'll bet there's someone at CFCC or UNCW or locally that can do it. I'll look tomorrow after you tell me what you think.
Miranda, it depends. If you have already used the VA somewhere in your paper, then you can abbreviate it in the quote. And since the number thing isn't a big deal (because it's in a quote) you should be fine leaving it as is.
Well, you weren't supposed to take your cartoons home, but if everyone did, it's ok. We'll be voting tomorrow for the best one!
This is YOUR English IV blog! Use it to contact Mrs. Moon after school hours, get help/ideas from your peers, submit homework, and just get to know the people in our class. Use it wisely and school appropriately only!
Today was pretty good in class, alot of laughter like always. I think we pretty much had everything done, but very confused on the internal citation.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know, Rasheed!!

Mrs. Moon, I'm having trouble finding someone to interview, so do you have any advice on where to look?
ReplyDeleteMrs. Moon,
ReplyDeleteI remember you telling us how to fix incorrect grammar in a direct quote but could you explain how i would fix this..
"between 2005 and 2007, the VA said it saw a 26 percent increase in suicides.."
Would i first off make VA in Department of Veteren affairs and then chnge 26 to twenty-six?
