Reliable Internet Resources and Citing Outside Sources

I will hand out an example MLA paper next class.

This is a link that covers citing outside sources:

https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/03/

Forget about any site that summarizes and tells you what a book or story is about. I want to know what you think not Wikipedia or Sparknotes or Shmoop or enotes Form your own opinions and never worry about misinterpreting something in Literature. It is all about interpretation. When I ask you to use reliable/critical sources, I am doing so to improve your writing and your ability to critically think about a text or subject. The outside sources well be the evidence or proof for YOUR points about the text.

Our class blog, the library and Literaryhistory.com can be counted on for reliable outside sources.

Not reliable sources (ANY PAPERS USING/CITING/TAKING INFO FROM THESE SOURCES WILL RECEIVE AN F!):

allfreeessays.com

…there are many others but I think you get the idea.

Also any discussion board where someone asks a question like, “I have a paper due tomorrow morning and it is about Ernest Hemmingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” and I didn’t read it! What is the theme of the story?” And then “Lauren” replies by telling the other person what the story is about will not work as a reliable outside source.

 DO NOT…use quotes in your introduction or conclusion

 

DO NOT…take information from a source and not cite it on works cited page and in text.

 

DO NOT…start or end a paragraph with a quote.

 

DO NOT…use “I” anywhere in your paper.

 

DO NOT…use quotes from primary/outside sources that are longer than 4 lines.

 

DO NOT…hand in a paper late and expect to be able to revise it.

 

DO…introduce author and primary texts in introduction.

 

DO…include your thesis in your introduction and keep it in mind throughout the paper.

 

DO… quote your outside and primary sources within the body of your paper.

 

DO…look to the essay question you are answering for your thesis statement.
