About This Activity
This is a one semester course. This one-semester class walks students through the process of writing the MLA (Modern Language Association) research paper and develops their argumentation skills. Preferred prerequisite is Intermediate Composition OR (1) experience writing essays in MLA format including the use of parenthetical citations and a Works Cited page; and (2) firm understanding of grammar. Three research papers are composed during the course beginning with a short essay in which the instructor takes students through the writing process slowly and step-by-step also providing research articles for that essay. The second paper is a longer project, and instructor still walks through the process with students step-by-step but with a little less help and allowing students to choose their own topic and research materials. The third paper is when the "training wheels come off." Still guided by the instructor through the writing process but at a distance, students will compose the third paper largely on their own. Students need to have a microphone to best participate in the live classroom.
