Reminder

For Monday, be sure to have your exploratory essay complete. Make sure it is in MLA format and includes a works cited of at least two sources.

 Here is the official assignment - Choose a topic you are interested in. Then choose a position on your topic. Using at least two sources, explore your position on that topic. You do not have to draw any firm conclusions, as this is an exploratory essay. Maybe you want to weigh both sides of an issue. Maybe you want to play devil’s advocate on an issue. Maybe you want to just learn more about a subject you have never had a chance to explore.

Here is one I wrote. Be careful for the sources you choose. I chose a podcast to cite, and I had a dickens of a time citing it correctly. It is always easier to cite books and magazine articles than it is more modern sources. You've been warned.

Remember too, there are other examples in the post below this one to inspire you.

Have a great weekend and thanks for a wonderful first week.  Text or Tweet me with any questions.My Exploratory Essay
