Chapter 7 was really helpful with paraphrasing and citations. Paraphrasing is completely different from summarizing and it is important to properly cite all your sources so that you do not plagiarize. This chapter explains how to cite each source throughout your essay and teaches you how to pull out only major points while paraphrasing. All sources are cited differently and this chapter helps you to figure out how to do in text citations for articles, books, films, and academic journals. Even in an annotated bibliography you must include your reference page. Chapter 7 touches on MLA format, what is required of this format for your essay and works cited, and how to appropriately format your research papers.
This text showed me how us as readers perceive a certain font or text and how it can influence our mood and how we feel about a certain reading. It also showed me how elaborate texts can draw us into something such as a poster or a title page of a book. Also how very bland fonts do not appeal to many readers as they might think of it as boring and plain. This gives me a lot to think about as project three comes closer. 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.
