It's crazy, but many students get to my class, and they've never been to the library on campus to get an actual book...
So, today, you're going to get an actual, real, made-of-paper book.
Physical books are the same as digital books (only heavier). But there's just something about doing it the old way. There's something valuable about moving your body and getting that into your writing.
So, go get a book today (actually, you need to get two) that might be good resources for your upcoming research paper. If you're still unsure about a topic, you can just look for a book on visual rhetoric, anything that you might pull a quotation from. But, go research!
If you're not in Clemson, go to your local library.
If you're on a beach vacation with your family and can't get to a library, then you fail...
not really, but as a last resort, you can use Google Books, which is actually a really handy resource.
Just post the MLA works cited entries for your two books on your blog and a sentence or two about how they might be helpful. So, go! Venture forth! Discover knowledge!
Grammar Review:
Ah, the if/then conundrum...
Any time you have an "if," there should probably be a comma and a "then."
If you give me fifty dollars, then that would be considered bribing your teacher.
If you go to school, then you might get smarter.
See? People forget that comma all the time though, and that is sad because commas don't like to be left out, just like most people.
Lots of times we'll just drop the "then," but we still need that comma.
If you dump your girlfriend, you'll need to find a new one.
So, there you are! If ---, then ---.
Your Daily Assignment:
Go get your two books! Post the works cited entries for them in MLA formatting on your blogs! Have an adventure along the way!
