The soft rains this morning reminded me of my time in Costa Rica this summer; I encourage you to travel there at some point in your life to see for yourself the lush tropical beauty.
Today we will be back in the library for your final in-class work time on the CE Project. Whatever you do not finish today in class will become homework due for Monday.
Reminder:
Due Monday:
1. Google doc should be completed with each person's three articles analyzed and MLA cited (names clearly noted for each article). See rubric below.
2. PowerPoint or Google Slides or Prezi should be ready to go at beginning of class Monday. See rubric below.
3. Each member of group should be ready to share out their thoughts on the following pieces:
- The topic and the Current Event
- Historical Context
- Three 'versions" of the event and how they compare/contrast
- Why should we care about this
- Your personal responses to the CE
Reminder too:
- Create an MLA style Works Cited page (properly alphabetized, punctuated, and indented) that includes the articles as well as the essays from the text; this should appear on your final slide or on your googledoc or both. Check out this sample MLA Works Cited page as needed; model carefully; don't forget about alpha order. https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/12/
- Rubric for the MLA Works Cited page (include all members citation in ONE Works Cited page : http://www.cambridge.k12.oh.us/powpak/data/Jennifer.Carpenter/files/works_cited_rubric.pdf
Yet another reminder:
- Please keep verbiage on the slides to a bare minimum; explain rather than read your presentation.

THINK ABOUT IT: Favorite quote of President Woodrow Wilson
You
are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable
the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit
of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you
impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.
