Blogging About MLA Formatting, Acts I & II + Chapter 10 St. Martin's Analyzing Stories...Due 3/2/15' @ 1 PM

Last week when class was canceled for the snow day, I did not want to overwhelm anyone with further assignments beyond completing your first paper & getting it turned in entirely; however, now we MUST move forward.

In the first YouTube video (posted earlier), I introduced you to The Crucible information for Acts I/II,  & what you needed to know before attempting that quiz in D2L.

In the 2nd YouTube video, here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T5eNmUsnD4&feature=youtu.be] I am discussing MLA formatting, which will be required for your final two papers this semester.

The final (3rd video) will be about analyzing literature in your research paper;  I posted it to D2L; you have begun reading The Crucible and should complete that first quiz before you attempt to begin anything further (D2L 2nd paper/presentation assignment); I don't want you getting further behind. That reading should have been DONE before now (since you would have quizzed on it 6-9 pm 2-25-15, normally).

Your 2nd paper Assignment sheet, topic options, and sample speech outline, along with the MLA formatting PPT,  are all attached on D2L's Newsfeed.

For this blog, you will discuss first

A) Your thoughts regarding Acts I/II of The Crucible after having watched my YouTube Video regarding it, as well as the three YouTube videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maO-fGhAOmE ;  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_A4X_Q0XJ4 ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHzsQgbQdAc (discussing the Red Scare allegorical connection Miller was alluding to in his play).

B) You should also read Chapter 10 in your St. Martin's textbook, regarding Analyzing Stories.

C)Lastly, I would like you to list any concerns or comments you might have about MLA formatting & expectations you might not be 100% sure upon after having watched my video & reviewing the PPT (attached to D2L).

Again, I apologize profusely for your having to do so much work at home; however, we are extremely behind now after the weather caused us to cancel two Wednesdays in a row.
