Research Project

Are you working on making works cited entries for your research?  Remember, first determine what type of source you are working with (book, newspaper, online, and so on); then, search for the appropriate model.  Remember to follow the model as closely as possible, and pay attention to correct punctuation too.  Here is a link to an online MLA Style Guide

If you need help with your thesis statement, this site has some useful tips.

Just stop by my office if you need more help as you work on your research!  See you in class

Updated after class:  During class, some students asked questions about the following topics.  Here are a few links that may be of help on the following topics:

What's your favorite sweet??

Have you checked Kansai Gaidai's Global Cast?  I was asked to write something about the international experience at Kansai Gaidai for my Global Cast message.  Please visit my entry, "My Sweet Life: An Intercultural Experience through Chocolate"  If it doesn't appear right away, you can also locate it by following this procedure: "By Date"; "06.2007"; "IES". 

Once you have located my entry, you'll see a picture of my daughter and me; also, you can read about one of my favorite chocolates and how this confection represents my childhood and my home state, Ohio!

I hope that you'll leave a comment and tell about your favorite sweet and how it reflects something about you and/or your culture!
