Citation Practice Essay

You will be practicing citation by writing a one-two page, double spaced, reflection on the essay below. For this reflection essay, you are required to cite from the text in three ways: a direct quote, a paraphrase, and a block quote. The content of your writing is important, obviously, but for this assignment the focus should be on practicing and strengthening citation skills. Please make sure you also create a works cited page. 

This brief essay will be due to my email (wwend@bcc.edu) by 11:59pm on Friday January 27th. This essay is worth five points and, until the final deadline of the end of spring break you will, if there are problems with your citation skills, continue to revise until the citations are sufficient.

You will be reflecting on this article:
