I discussed techniques for this lesson with my FBS, Amy Held, to determine the best way of presenting this lesson to her class. I referenced the MLA Handbook to check my work.

Students use spoken, written, and visual language to accomplish their own purposes (e.g., for learning, enjoyment, persuasion, and the exchange of information). <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">How does the use of in-text citations and works cited page prevent plagiarism? Why is it so important to prevent plagiarism? How is an in-text citation used? How is an in-text citation formatted? How can creating a works cited page be simplified by using word processing software? How is a works cited page formatted? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Participation in class discussion <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Observation of work and utilization of class time <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Computer that hooks up to a projector <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Computers that have printer access <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">1.

Instructor is available for tutoring time as needed. Other accommodations as needed. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I think that the first time doing this lesson went fairly well. I think that in the future I will put more emphasis on the importance of citing to avoid plagiarism. Also, I feel that the lesson could have been slightly more challenging, but due to the number of students that failed the pre-assessment, I felt the need to stick only to basics and what they specifically needed for the paper they were currently working on. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Russell, Tony, Allen Brizee, and Elizabeth Angeli.
