For the remainder of the school year, we will be working on the Junior Research Paper. Today, we first addressed narrowing Joshua's topic to make research more focused and practical. I then provided instruction on the MLA citation system for books, magazines, encyclopedias, and web sites. Joshua then practiced writing proper MLA citations for a Works Cited page referencing the novels we have read. Next, I discussed the need to assess a source's reliability before relying on it for the paper. We discussed methods to implement to test reliability including making sure the source is not outdated even if the source was originally deemed reliable.
