Intro to MLA

Here's the MLA intro video... Word Tutorial Video

Today we will write a short one page essay using MLA formatting. You must include a block quotation, a book title, and an appropriate title and header. We will use University of Purdue's website to learn the details of MLA. Here is the OWL link to OWL.

Sometimes it's easier just to look at a sample.... this MLA sample essay should be very valuable

Rhythm

Do you (like me) struggle with seeing God as abstract, distant, and removed?

How do you see the rhythm of God moving in your life?

What does it mean for you to live in tune with the song?

How have you heard "the song" playing in your life recently?

What is it that speaks to you about the character and nature of God? Where do you see it?
Examples could be a mother nursing her newborn child, a family gathering for a celebration,the lyrics of a popular artist, a particular piece of art work, etc....

May you come to see that the song is written on your heart and realize you are in relationship with the living God!

Sharing Creativity

In this assignment, you will be writing as a child in year 2064. You will be begging your parents for the newest tech device. Your partner will assume the role of your parent, and tell you why they will or wont buy the product for you.
Instructions-
1.) Write a paragraph that describes your hypothetical space age product. Describe its features.
2.) Write a paragraph describing why your parent should buy you this product. Describe how the product will enhance your education, daily life, social experience, etc.
3.) Share your document with your partner and put it in your folder.
4.) Your partner must write a one paragraph response within the shared document stating why or why not they should buy it for you. Your partner will be writing from the position of your parent.

Just to clarify.
Every assignment should have three paragraphs total (two from you and one from your partner).
You are writing BOTH from the perspective of the parent and the child.
Make certain to clearly label who wrote what part.
