  11. Problem: I still have issues with citing sources

  12. Solution: Use the MSWordReferences Tab • Citations and Bibliography pane makes it easy to select style and cite sources correctly! • I also have the River Writer program if you want it! It’s a snap!

  13. General Format References Your essay should include four major sections: Main Body An abstract page and list of references are titled as Abstract and Reference, respectively. Abstract Title page

  14. Title Page Page header: (use Insert Page Header) title flush left + page number flush right. Title: (in the upper half of the page, centered) name (no title or degree) + affiliation (university, etc.)

  15. Abstract Page Page header: do NOT include “Running head:” Abstract: centered, at the top of the page Write a 150- to 250- word summary of your paper in an accurate, concise, and specific manner.

  16. Independent and Dependent Clauses • All sentences have a simple subject, verb and object(ive)=SVO • Ex: Tanya ran to the store. (Subject)(verb) (object) Tanya’s objective was to run to the store. SVO structure is also called an Independent Clause, so what is a dependent clause?

  17. How to Correct Run-Ons and Comma Splices Method 1- Use a period and a capital letter. • Run-on: The computer hummed loudly the sound was annoying. • Comma Splice: The computer hummed loudly, the sound was annoying. Correct.- The computer hummed loudly. The sound was annoying.

  18. Method 2- Use a comma and a joining word (FANBOYS- For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So) Hint: the comma comes BEFORE the FANBOYS, and can be called coordinating conjunctions or joining words) • Run-on: Dolphins have killed sharks they never attack humans. • Comma splice: Dolphins have killed sharks, they never attack humans. • Correct- Dolphins have killed sharks, but they never attack humans.

  19. The Comma, The 4 Main Uses • To separate three or more items in a series. Example: The school cafeteria has learned not to serve broccoli, spinach, or Brussels sprouts. Our tasks for the party are blowing up balloons, setting the table, and planning music • To separate introductory material from the rest of the sentence. Example: After taking a hot shower,Vince fell asleep on the sofa. When covered with chocolate syrup, frozen yogurt is not a diet food. • To join two complete thoughts connected by FANBOYS. Example: Lee broke her leg in the accident, and her car was badly damaged. • Using two commas to set apart extra information in the middle of a sentence (parenthetical phrases/ appositives) Example: Mike, who lives in Michigan, loves the Tigers.
