MLA Citation Help for the Wicked & Perplexed
Like with other areas of high school research, most students struggle with citing sources using MLA style in their projects. No worries, we have LMC resources to help. Our district Research Handbook site has a MLA Citation guide, as well as a section just on citing sources. We also have a NoodleTools subscription. In addition to making it easier to cite sources, it is also a great teaching tool. By the way, we have had many teachers use it for graduate work because it has several citation styles, including APA, in the program.
Frightfully Useful Resource of the Week: Allsides.com
Whether you are teaching about current events, bias or point of view, or you just want to see how the other half frames the issues of the day, you should check out Allsides.com. The site features brief summaries of current news stories and links to three articles with different ideological perspectives (left, right, and center). There is even a school edition coming out at the end of November. Spooky how cool this site is for the aspiring news junkie.
We are 204: Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds One of the books on our list that has a little bit of the supernatural in the plot. What it's about: Will knows the rules. No crying. No snitching. Revenge. That's where Will's now heading, with that gun shoved in the back waistband of his jeans, the gun that was his brother's gun. This fiercely stunning novel in verse takes place in just sixty potent seconds—the time it takes Will to ride the elevator down to his apartment lobby and decide whether or not he's going to murder the guy who killed his brother. The full list and more information is at weare204.blogspot.com
