All CTE students will research a current event relating to the course content once a week from an online news source. The student will read the article, and write a summary including citing the article. Literacy is incorporated daily through instruction and student participation. We will also have a Word Wall with technical words related to our pathway. We will also allow English Learners to present in their native language
The first sentence of every paragraph will be indented using the “Tab” key. The font will be something standard like Times New Roman and size 12. Lines will be double spaced with 1” margins on all sides. A shortened version of the title goes at the top left of every page in all caps. When you want to quote someone, you need to give them proper credit. Quotes less than forty words will be included in my paragraphs like this: “100% of the shots you don’t take don’t go in” (Gretzky, n.d.). If you start a sentence by introducing an author, then the citation looks a bit different. As Martin Luther King, Jr. (1963) said, “I have a dream.” Long quotes are put into block format like this: These do not have quotation marks and every line is indented so that it is easy to distinguish from your own work. You do not change the font size or do anything else (Name, Year, p. #). Then the rest of the paragraph is written without an indentation. Citations must be formatted using the author’s name, the year of publication, and the page number. If there is no author, use the webpage title, organization title, or anything else you find. For YouTube, Instagram, etc… the username is the author. Use as much information as you are able to find. If there is no date, put “n.d.” in that section. Chapter or Topic Headings To divide your paper into sections, the sub-heading will be justified on the left, bold, and the same font and size as your text. Do not add additional space between paragraphs.
