Guidelines for Writing With Sources Assignment
This is an assignment that requires you to practice citing information from a source, using MLA. You will also do a works cited page for this assignment, using the two sources that appear in your paper. When you write and include outside information, a resource, in your paper you have to give credit to the author of that information. In MLA, we refer to that reference in the text as a parenthetical citation or in text citation, followed with a page that lists all the references you have included or cited in your paper.
Learning Outcome: Demonstrate critical reading and writing, using sources correctly according to MLA guidelines. Use a parenthetical citation to document a direct quote and a paraphrased reference from the source article.
Reading Assignment: Read the two articles included in this module. They both deal with the topic of the electoral college. As you probably noticed, in the recent presidential elections, the hundreds year old argument about the electoral college have been back in full swing. In order to understand this important American political issue, you may need to understand what all the fuss is about.
Writing Question: Income inequality is a topic that is often in the news. Many wonder if it is actually a problem and if so what should be done about it? What is the issue of income equality? What do some people want to do about it? Why do others feel it is something that should be left alone?
