Write a brief reflection summarizing the value of strengthening your ability to cite course material/sources in your day-to-day life.

Carefully review the attached document for full assignment details and “Criteria for Success”.
Watch the “MLA Citations” (opens in new window) video. You may also find these tips (opens in new window) from the Purdue Writing Lab to be helpful.
Part I: Choose a topic you are interested in and write a 1-2 sentence lesson citing a source (book, magazine, textbook, etc.) teaching me about that topic using a well-formatted MLA in-text citation. You may also use our textbook. Use the area provided on the attached worksheet.
Example A: When dealing with a weak opinion, it may be best to consider communicating that with some humility. According to Adam Grant in his book Think Again, “Communicating it with some uncertainty signals confident humility, invites curiosity, and leads to a more nuanced discussion” (117).
Example B: When dealing with conflict it can be best to address the discussion with curiosity, “by asking questions rather than thinking for your audience, we invite them to join us as a partner and think for themselves” (Grant 119).
Part II: Write a brief reflection summarizing the value of strengthening your ability to cite course material/sources in your day-to-day life. NOTE: If you recall from my “Discussion about Discussions” video there is value in “having your receipts” to back up your arguments and opinions.
Review the Criteria for Success (Table 1 on the attachment) and ensure all work is written in complete sentences.
