Search-a-Word Format.

Hi Everyone:

Here is a description of the three graded parts of your search-a-word project:

1.  What You Found: For this part, simply create a little heading (e.g. Unabridged Dictionary or Oxford English Dictionary) and the simply copy down the information that you collected from that source. 

2.  Works Cited: For this part, create a Works Cited page based strictly on MLA format.  You can use on-line sources like Easybib, but make sure you proofread the final page and check for common problems (for instance, forgetting to alphabetize or use hanging indentations).

3.  Four responses: For this part, simply respond to each of the four follow-up questions which were handed out to the class before research.  Do this in a standard open response format (10 or more sentences).
