Today in class we started off by talking about the new modification to the MLA citing format.  Mr. Rivers went over how to format them, and the order everything should go in.  but also about what information you should and don't need to include in your citing. 

we then went on to continue what we have been working on for the past week and a half.  we went to work on our quote not cards.  these notecards are supposed to be able to direct us through our essays.  the papers we write have to be supported with evidence to support our argument.  the 25 note cards that we produce by 11:59 pm tonight consists of quotes from our documentaries of choice, and 3 other data bases that we have chosen ourselves.  the quotes that we create our notecards with will be the quotes that we should be using within our essays.  depending on the topic you have chosen will determine what your quotes and essay will be about.  but also depending on your topic will determine what you concentrate on.  given the opportunity, you can choose to concentrate on smaller details within your very broad topic.  I have decided to do my essay on the black lives matter movement.  but concentrating on the corrupt racial judicial system in America.  so with that I have chosen the documentary 13th, by Ava DuVernay.
