APA Guidline

APA formatting is very organized. To cite a source means to add in an essay the website or reference material used to gather the information. The writer needs a title, author, date of publication, and page number if citing a reference. If the writer is using the text of another website it might be too long and it won’t sound right if it uses the exact same words. So, the writer would have to paraphrase the sentence(s). A reference page is the page where all references are listed with all the information necessary. I will use the APA format in my research paper to organize al my sources and make sure I don’t take credit for any other resource.

Friday Blog Post [4/7/10]

5:00 in the morning and my alarm rings. I then remember I was going to Knotts Berry Farm with approximately 20 students and 5 teachers. On the ride there I slept and listened to music. Next we got there, separated, and went on rides. We all rode on Accelerator which was the funnest ride. Then we went on Supreme Scream and Marquise was to scared to get on. That ride was also fun. Then we walked and we bumped into this basketball game that cost five dollars. The rewards are: 2-5 buckets = 1 duck, 6-9 = a ball, and 10 - 15 = a jersey. The first time I played I made five buckets (one duck), the second time I made 4 (one duck), the third time I made 4 (one duck), the fourth time I made 5 (one duck), the fifth time I made 5 (one duck). I had 5 ducks and I was angry. Other than that I had lots of fun and Mr. Walker was really funny on the rides.

Prom Post

On Thursday, in the evening, I went to my first prom. I had got a haircut, bought new clothes, and had a tux for prom. Everyone looked very sharp. We all went on a bus and the ride was fun. When we arrived I was amazed. The area was great and so was the place where prom was at. When I walked in and I saw the setup. It was nicely done. Everyone ate there refreshments and appetizers. We were served a nice dinner and a wonderful desert. Then it was time to dance. First Michael Jackson came on and Bryan started dancing. Then other people went on stage and better songs came on. Along with those other people I was also dancing. I also took many pictures with people who wanted to. Everyone looked as if they were having fun. Some people even started rapping on the microphone. It was just a blast and there was nothing negative about going. I slept on the way back home and when we got home I said by to my date and went home.
