Day 6 - Sept. 29, continued grammar presentations

Today, we will enjoy the remaining 14 presentations and then take a closer look at MLA-style quotations. Your handout will show the correct use of MLA-style quotes, in-text references, works-cited pages, and other pertaining information. This is just one example and does not force you to use that style. APA, Chicago, other disciplinary requirements of your mayor determine which style you have to use.
If in doubt, here is the nutshell version (that you are expected to know by heart):
1. I must cite my sources.
2. I must say who wrote it, what the title is, who published it and where and when it was published.

Next week, we will start on preparing interviews. For that purpose, think of 20 questions that you could ask your interviewee and Add two or three sentences after each question providing the reasons, why you would ask that.
Example:
1. What are schools like in your country?
I want to learn about the different levels of schools from elementary to university, and how old students are. I want to know how satisfied the interviewee is with her education at home.
2. Do you have lunch programs in schools?
I want to understand where students eat, what they eat, and how often they eat outside their home.
3. How old are people in your country by the time they get married?
I want to know how long young people wait with marriage, when they think the time and conditions are right, and where they live, once married.
