immigration paper 2
Assignment:
1.You will write a 7-page paper (12 pt font, double spaced, 1-inch margins) about a topic concerning a current immigration issue of your choosing.

a.Author.
b.Title of book/article.
c.Title of newspaper/journal.
d.Publication year.
e.Publication month and date.
f.Publisher.
g.City of publication.
h.Date of access (if publication is downloaded from the web).
*What are in-text citations?
In-text citations are included in the main part of a project when using a quote or paraphrasing a piece of information from another source. We include these types of citations in the body of a project for readers to quickly gain an idea as to where we found the information.
These in-text citations are found directly next to the quote or paraphrased information. They contain a small tidbit of the information found in the regular MLA citation. The regular, or complete, citation is located at the end of a project, on the works cited page.
Here’s what a typical in text paraphrase looks like:
According to Tan (1989), the mother uses a vast amount of Chinese wisdom to explain the world and people’s temperaments.
Here’s what a typical in text quote looks like:
In fact, she states, “each person is made of five elements….Too much fire and you have a bad temper…too little wood and you bent too quickly…too much water and you flowed in too many directions†(Tan, 1989, p. 31).
