Sharing Your Research

Q For this discussion, you will all be sharing what you have found to help support your point of view (not the main articles themselves) on the topic of your letters and articles. The purpose of this task is for you to reflect on your research, imagine how you will utilize source information, and practice incorporating source information. Please follow the numbered instructions: 1. Start by creating an MLA Works Cited entry for the source you will be discussing. Follow the guidelines from OWL (Links to an external site.) to help you format the entry accurately. 2. Contextualize your search for this source. What is the topic/issue of your two articles? Where did you find this source? Why were you looking for it? 3. Write a brief summary (150 words) to share the main idea of the source. 4. Explain how you plan to use this source in your Letters to the Editor. How do you wish to respond to the topic? How will the information in this source help contribute to your letters or support a point? Which passages or quotes might you use? Note: you don't need to use in-text citation in a letter to the editor since that's not part of the genre.
