WORK TIME AGENDA
1.  Starter:  Engage with my feedback and decide what your goal is for project work time today.  

2.  Consult the various resources in this folder for help with some of the issues.  Conference with me for direct help.
4.  At this point, your project needs a Works Cited page (which will be part of the poster).  The Purdue OWL is a great resource for determing how to cite your sources.  


I am okay if you use a citation generator like Knight Cite, but you should double check your work against the OWL.  Don't be lazy and just throw a bunch of links on a page:  I will give you a zero for your Works Cited if you do this.

5. Conference with me if you need to.

6. SLC PREP!!!!!!  Be sure you are clear on your scheduled time.  You will not have lots of Work Time tomorrow, so please

7. Finish Quiz?

8. Exit Ticket:  Turn in a proposed sketch of the layout of your poster.

HOMEWORK:  Continue to revise your project!
