This class will cover four major topics in essay writing (one per week): citing in text and citing at the conclusion of an essay in both MLA and APA styles. This class does not meet live. The prerecorded sessions will explain what citation is and give examples from real college essays. They will emphasize the importance of citations and the key elements to remember. Each style is different and has its own set of rules, which the videos will cover each week. 

Interaction with the teacher: 
Students will receive one 10-20 minute video that focuses on the weekly topic. The video will most likely include a PowerPoint presentation, which I will upload into the classroom as well. I will post a quotation or paraphrased paragraph from a potential essay source and ask the students to post the correct citation based on the lessons we've learned that week. This gives the students hands-on experience crafting citations. If the citations are not correct, I expect students to resubmit until they demonstrate an understanding of the concept. Anytime during the course, students can submit one complete essay or draft for me to review the citations. I will give specific written feedback for the student to use when correcting their essay for their personal or educational use. 

In addition, there will also be a optional weekly Kahoot! game that asks trivia questions about the week's lessons.
