Activity #1 - Color Presentations
1. Work with your group and review the visual and the information.
2. Make sure your name appears on the visual.
3. Verify that the visual has been submitted on Canvas by one member of your group.
4. Check that you have noted the name of the person who submitted in the the CANVAS box.
5. Reminder: All group members must speak. Use the chart to guide your presentation. Each group will have up to five minutes to share but should take at least three of those minutes. Otherwise, you probably need to find some additional information.
6. Listen to the other group presentations and take notes.

The first thing you need is a topic that relates to "The Yellow Wallpaper" and to "Story of an Hour."
Let's generate topics at your table. Send one person to the board as a scribe for your group.
We will work on the graphic organizer in class. Your homework will depend on how far we get. It will be posted after class.
PLEASE use this FREE source for your Works Cited page. OR, use a similar source of your choosing. The formatting in MLA 8 is complicated to try to get all of the periods and commas in the correct places. Save yourself some trouble! Let's practice.
A. Locate three sources that you plan to use for your essay.
B. Use EasyBib or other source to correctly format a Works Cited page.
C. Post your practice page in CANVAS.
Tips for EasyBib:
- Register for an account. They will never contact you. I have had an account for over five years. There is no spam to your mail. You may use a made-up name, but you must give a real e-mail. Your college e-mail works just fine.
- Click that you want MLA 8 formatting.
- For each assignment, create a new project name. That way your work is saved. You can manage the work - remove and add documentation- as needed.
- Fill in any missing information when you are entering a source. Some information is just not available. Do not fabricate information. It is OK to leave blanks.
- Click on all boxes until you have a REAL Word document showing. DO NOT copy/paste from individual entries. If you do, the formatting will be incorrect.
- Once you have a Word document, copy/paste it into CANVAS for credit for this activity.

- To view sample Works Cited pages, type Sample MLA 8 Works Cited page into the search engine.
- Post the practice page in CANVAS today!
