Select a scholarly article from the FSCJ LLC database. This can be one you’ve worked with before or something you need to complete a new assignment.
Find the reference citation and copy/paste it into your discussion post. State which database you used and describe the steps you took to find the reference citation.
Now, check the citation for accuracy and explain the steps you took to check it.
Does your reference citation need to be corrected? If so, describe what corrections are needed.
From the article you selected, choose a paragraph to work with and copy/paste it into your post.
Choose a short sentence from the paragraph and present it as a quote with a parenthetical in-text citation.
Choose another short sentence from your paragraph, present it as a quote, and use a narrative in-text citation this time.
Next, demonstrate how to present the entire paragraph as a block quote. You may choose to use either a parenthetical or a narrative citation.
Write a one-two sentence summary of the paragraph, citing it with a narrative in-text citation.
Did you look anything up in order to get your in-text citations right? What did you look up and what resource(s) did you use?
Write a paragraph reflecting on your experience with this exercise. Did you learn anything new from the resources? If so, what did you learn? Are there any areas where you still feel unclear? What steps can you take to gain a better understanding?
