journal /Week 5

Hello everyone and welcome back for week five,



Well this week I started off by doing the MLA citation style assignment which was kinda easy,I started doing this assignment by reviewing the style guide given to us by the teacher, I then went to work doing the book citation she wanted us to do, after doing that I went on to find a article of my own choosing,I do not remember what one I chose, but after finishing up that I went on to the website citation part of the assignment,the site the teacher gave us what not the hard part it was figuring out how to do my own that caused me problems. after completing that assignment I moved on to do the Annotation analysis assignment, in this assignment we had to pick two out of four examples to basically critique them, we had to write about three to four paragraphs for each example, in these paragraphs we had to figure out if the information given was an opinion of the author or if it was a critique or both, after completing that part we had to figure out if the information given would be enough to determine if it would be a useful site to visit, after that part we had to figure out what we could add to the information to make it more effective to use. last but not least we had to do an assignment on citing and annotating your sources,in this assignment we had write an annotation and cite the article we used in our topic thing we sent to the teacher and we had to write an annotation and cite one of the books we looked at in week three. I used the MLA citation guide to help me figure out how to cite the book and article, then I went on to write my annotation of the article and book.


This week was a fun learning experience, I learned how to cite and write annotations something I never knew how to do before. I did run into a few snags along the way, like I could not figure out how to use the MlA citation guide at first, but then I figured it out. Another hard part was the annotations we had to write, I was not sure on what to put in the writing or what to leave out, so I'm hoping I got it right.Well all in all this week was great,I learned a lot of new things that might just benefit me in the long run.


Well I'm out of here everyone catch you guys next week,
