Quotation, Paraphrasing and Citation Practice
Discuss today's readings in a short essay of a few paragraphs. Compare and contrast More's description of Utopia (and imaginary place) with Montaigne's description of Antarctic France (a real place--but one the author has never seen). Sounds too easy? Need a challenge? Take it to the next level and explain how the two authors are using their writing to critique the society they live in.

Q. How do I find articles?
Go to the John Abbott website. Click on Library. Find the "Search for Articles" tab. If you are off campus it will ask you for your student number. Best databases for us are JSTOR, Academic Search Complete and Academic OneFile.
Q. Are my sources good?
A. Here are some questions to ask yourself to help you evaluate your sources:
- Is it an article from an academic journal or a scholarly book? (not a website or a review of a book)
- Is it a recent source?
- Does it directly address your topic?
If you answer "yes" to these three questions, it is likely that your sources are good.
