for you to venture out on your own.
for you to venture out on your own.
Consider the book you are reading right now as your subject.
What big questions do you have about it? Start your blog post with that question or questions, then proceed to investigate the thinking around it. Try to come up with an integrate question (relies on the text for its answer, but is not a locate or cycle question - the answer is not right there in the text).
Then, when you are done, try to add some visual appeal (pictures, videos etc...) to your post. The visual could be a video, a single picture or a collage Add a brief caption explaining why you have selected it.
Make sure you include the SOURCE information for the image (website) using a proper MLA style. Use the two websites in the "Land O' Links" list to help you format this correctly (MLA Guide and Easy Bib).
The proper MLA bibliographic format for citing websites is:
Editor, author, or compiler name (if available). Name of Site. Version number. Name of institution/organization affiliated with the site (sponsor or publisher), date of resource creation (if available). Medium of publication. Date of access.
So, if I were to ask myself about the book I am currently reading, "Who is the real hero in my book and what qualities tell me this?", I might include one of the following images with the captions and the source information, properly formatted according to the MLA guide.
This image is of a person feeding another who for whatever reason cannot help himself. I think a hero is someone who recognizes a person in need and extends their hand to help.
I believe a hero is someone who is compassionate, and then acts on that compassion to help another in some way.
Are we suppposed to answer more then one question?
