  • Plagiarism to steal or pass-off the ideas or
    words of another as ones own use anothers
    production without giving credit.

26
MLA Format
  • In-Text Citations
  • Gives credit to the person who did the work.
  • Refers the reader to the bibliography
  • Always includes 1st piece of info from
    bibliography.
  • Reader sees citation, flips to bibliography,
    looks down the left margin, finds source.
  • All facts, concrete detail, information from job
    shadow and/or interviews should have an in-text

27
(No Transcript)
28
In-Text Citations
  • Parenthetical citations ( ) not footnotes.
  • Most citations contain the authors last name and
    page
  • Example (Jacobs 15).

29
In-Text Citations
  • Rules
  • Citations must have parentheses.
  • Citation must be before the punctuation at the
    end of the sentence.
  • Citation includes the 1st piece of information
    from the bibliography entry for that source.
  • If no author is known then the next piece of
    information in the bibliography entry is used
    instead.
  • If there is no page number then you drop that
    part out of the citation.

  • Molecular virology is probably not a field of
    science many people are familiar with, but
    microbiology is. Since microbiology, the study of
    microbes, is such a vast field, scientists
    usually specialize in one specific area. One area
    of choice is molecular virology, the study of
    viruses at a molecular level. A molecular
    virologist has many duties, such as examining the
    construction, functions, and interactions of
    molecules in a virus, and understanding the
    relationships and assembly of the virus itself.
    It may not seem physically demanding, but this
    job can be very stressful and is not for the
    faint at heart.

  • Alison is a perfect example. She is currently
    working on a project involving the study of the
    foamy virus. Previously, the virus was only found
    in primates, so it was categorized as potentially
    dangerous by the Centers for Disease Control
    (CDC), but the first human transmission has be
    found, which could be very dangerous. The
    original study of this virus was to use it for
    gene therapy, but the circumstances may change
    due to the new discovery. Alison has been
    gathering information and collecting data about
    this virus for over ten years, and is still
    making new findings every day. Alison enjoys her
    work very much, but she would not be doing what
    she does, if she did not fulfill the necessary
    skills needed to be a molecular virologist.

Display of Information
54
What are some good rules to follow when it
comes to fonts, pictures, etc on projects?
55
(No Transcript)
56
Fonts
  • Compelling quotes are often displayed in a
    script font that looks somewhat like
    handwriting
  • Quotes may also be printed in a much larger font
    than the other information in order to draw
    people in from a distance.
  • Organize information
  • For instance all your facts, observations or
    quotes could be in different scripts.
  • Dont use too many fonts.

57
Pictures Images
  • Look for interesting pictures that best suit the
    mood of your project.
  • Example if your project is about surgery then
    you could include pictures of notable surgeons,
    tools, surgeries, etc...

58
Pictures Images
  • Create collages or interesting arrangements with
    the pictures
  • Take a portrait and copy it on a color copier
    using different color settings (so you get a blue
    copy, green copy, etc) then arrange the copies
    like a Warhol painting.

59
Pictures Images
  • Sometimes a well-chosen picture / image may be
    repeated in a display in order to emphasize its
    message.

60
(No Transcript)
61
Pictures Images
  • Neatness and Professionalism
  • Make sure all corners are securely attached.
  • Everything should be cut straight.
  • You may want to frame the images so that they
    stand out.
  • Your name must be prominently displayed.

62
Please compare and contrast the use of color and
display of information in these two
projects.Compare and Contrast looking for
similarities and differences.
63
Artistry
64
(No Transcript)
65
Please brainstorm ways that someone could make
his/her project more artistic.
  • The person with the longest list of ideas will
    win a fabulous prize.

66
(No Transcript)
67
Artistry
  • Instead of just printing out a picture of someone
    sketch the image.
  • Create a sculpture of your subject.
  • Use alternative materials (fabric, wood, metal,
    clay, etc)
  • Include artifacts or props that are related to
    your project
  • Personal items give your audience a better
    impression of your topic (just make sure that
    everything is school appropriate and you dont
    include anything too valuable)
  • Example tools used in the profession, uniforms,
    letters, etc

68
(No Transcript)
69
Artistry
  • Paint a short, fascinating quote across the top
    of your project.
  • Have some parts of your project come-out of the
    display by making them 3D.
  • Have interactive, hands on elements.

70
Overall Design / Shape

(No Transcript)
72
Overall Design / Shape
  • Many people just throw together a tri-fold
    display instead brainstorm interesting ways you
    can construct your project.

73
(No Transcript)
74
Overall Design / Shape
  • Use an easel to display factual information
    beside the table containing artifacts / props.
  • Build a large, free-standing display out of wood
    and hinges.
  • Cut your project into a significant shape.

Audience Appeal
77
(No Transcript)
78
Audience Appeal
  • Think about your project like a museum display.
  • Your project should be attractive and engaging
    from at least 8 feet away.

79
(No Transcript)
80
Audience Appeal
  • Your display should be pristine
  • Straight lines.
  • There should be no glue, tape, etc showing.
  • Pencil is unsightly on projects make sure you
    erase all of it.
  • You should set-up your finished project at home
    and make sure that it is the correct size and
    meets all the requirements.
  • Pictures must be school appropriate
  • Any graphic pictures should have a warning /
    cover.

81
A Few Things to Keep In Mind
  • Only a few people will have electricity for their
    projects.
  • The school is not responsible for your project
    (dont bring anything of value).
  • You must set-up that evening and take it all home
    with you afterwards.
  • You will only have ½ a cafeteria table to set-up
    on.
  • In December you will create an action plan for
    your project at that time you must tell me the
    dimensions of your project, what it will look
    like, etc..
