Today was just a typical school day. Andrea, Maria, and I got to class quite early. Class was once again fun because I couldn't stop laughing with Andrea and Monica. It's odd because sometimes we just laugh over the randomest thing. Despite the laughter, we learned the different types of support for text-based writing such as explanations, references, quotations, and citations. I learned that explantions are expressed through patterns, references points readers directly towards the original ideas on the sources, quotations are words credited from certain sources, and a citation known as MLA which stands for Modern Language Assiciation. I would have to say that today's class was productive because we did a lot of exercises and most of us participated in reading and sharing our thoughts.
