Assignment Task:
Source Integration Assignment
To evaluate your understanding of MLA style documentation, you will practice integrating a source into a paragraph. For this assignment, please write one developed paragraph (about 7-10 sentences) about technology. Choose at least one passage from the Turkle essay and integrate this passage into your paragraph as a quotation.
For this assignment, you will need to use a signal phrase and an in-text citation when you integrate the source into your paragraph. Please review the assigned reading in the handbook and the mini-lecture on MLA documentation for more information about using the in-text citation and the signal phrase appropriately.
Remember that you must use a quotation to help you support and inform your discussions. Thus, you may not simply choose any quote and drop it into your paragraph. Work to make a clear connection between your discussion and the quotation.
Evaluation:
You will be graded on the following:
- The paragraph is clear and developed.
- The paragraph is free of distracting mechanical errors.
- The quotation supports the paragraph's discussion.
- The quotation has an appropriate signal phrase and an accurate in-text citation.
