My experience with citing sources since the beginning of the semester have greatly improved. My Multimodal Paper has proven my ability to document work using appropriate conventions (MLA). Throughout the essay, I have correctly used in-text citations after quoting an author in the format of (Author page #). I have cited podcasts in the text in the format of (Speaker time). To make this essay a multimodal essay, I used a picture to help represent my ideas. I have properly cited the photograph, the author, and the interviews on my Works Cited Page as follows:

Professor Emerson has constantly used the “first five minutes” technique in our class. She has used this time to help us show up to class and become oriented into getting our brain thinking. Often during this time, she has shown us helpful youtube videos that explain sentence error. Often times we have trouble formatting punctuation around quotes or knowing when to use an apostrophe and when not to. This technique helps us to better understand the concept explained whether it be apostrophes or punctuation or word choice. A technique that has also helped is the software called “Grammarly”. This software helps to check and double check the spelling, grammar, and word choice of a sentence to help us produce better writing. Both of these techniques have helped me develop control for sentence-level error (grammar, punctuation, spelling).
