JAN2 5th

Today our class met in the DEAL Computer Lab in room 202. As a class, we read through the kinds of support for text-based writing. There are three different kinds of support, one is the explanation, the second is the references and lastly is the quotations. Its important to have all these for a paper because it helps you understand more of what you are explaining. We are going to be writing our papers in the MLA format, which means Modern Language Association. We also recapped on how to properly do a works cited section of any paper we do. Together as a class we read a short autobiography by Elizabeth Wong. She was caught her native culture being Chinese, and her preferred culture, American. What I learned from that essay was how to compare and contrast when writing your own essay.
