Some new stuff for you.

After spending EXTENSIVE TIME comparing the textbook to the Purdue OWL (the definitive source for all citation information and CHANGES with MLA and APA), it seems that there are significant differences between some of what is posted and some of what is in the book.

As a result, the actual due date for paper 2 will now be on April 14th (Wednesday instead of Monday the 12th) OR April 15th (Thursday, instead of Tuesday the 13th).

Please note the ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN the Purdue Owl and what I want is that if you are using Internet sources, you MUST HAVE AN ACTUAL URL with your citation so that I can make sure that you didn't plagiarize.

This means that I will have to update the SQ3R / Researching ppt and go over this stuff with you when you come back. I will go over this essay when you return as well.

GLOBAL WARMING IS STILL DUE ON MONDAY WHEN YOU COME BACK (IT MUST BE FINISHED BY 10PM SUNDAY NIGHT).

Also, you may not use either of the names in this sample essay (Elie Wiesel and Victor Frankl) for this paper.

+++++

Academy of Achievement. If you don't have heroes, check this out.

You can end a sentence with a preposition!

The state of Pennsylvania education "success."

For Monday (or Tuesday), I want you to look at where RACC, Kutztown, Alvernia, Albright, Penn State Berks, University of Penn, and Penn State Main Campus stand. All you need to do is print this out and circle the numbers OR just list the numbers with the schools. Other than that, just start thinking why we're doing so good or bad.

An article that talks about why this is would be here.
Another article would be here.
And still another one would be here.

This is the best way to lead in to Thomas Friedman EVER.

If you have any questions, please e-mail me ASAP.
