Chapter 7 -Alison McGrath

Chapter 7

In this chapter, I learned the importance of citing, including citing in the right format. This chapter also reiterates the importance of avoiding plagiarism. All together, it helped me understand why, depending on subject, we use different citing formats (APA, MLA 8, etc.). This chapter also taught me how to create better citation in my writing. This blog goes over when the appropriate time is to use a quote, like if your proving something the author says. In conclusion, this reading will help me with my future citations in my research paper.

It makes me think of the reader and what type of fonts might draw them into my website, social media page, etc. This text was very helpful for this type of assignment.

Despite this, the film is still pro-human. Compared to the usual "humans are bad for nature" lesson, WALL-E  actually shows why Earth needs humans. The movie has no real dialogue from anyone, just robot sounds and intercom voices on the ship that the humans live on. When WALL-E   meets Eva they ask each other "Directive?" which basically means "What's your purpose?" Each robot in the film has a dir...

Action Plan

Haley Ketchum My plan is to finish my three genres and finish my website. My website is nearly finished, but still needs a few touches to make it look good and work efficiently. I’m still unsure of how I am going to do my three genres. I forgot about how one of the three genres has to be non-digital, or a remediation, etc, so I need to replan my genres so they fit these requirements.
