IDS 400 Module Three Assignment Guidelines and Rubric Narrated Journal Overview: In the Module Three overview, you read about a few films that help illustrate the history lens in action. Choose one of the films to watch and review for this assignment. Links to the films can be found in the Reading and Resources section of Module Three. Other historical bio-films may be used only with instructor approval. For this assignment, you will watch one film through the history lens and will have the opportunity to practice the communication and technical skills needed for Final Project Part Two. You will create a short PowerPoint presentation with an oral narration using the PowerPoint narration tool. This will also allow you and your instructor to check that your technology works for this assignment, and to troubleshoot any potential difficulties before the Final Project Part Two due. This activity must be submitted in PPTX format for your professor to give you feedback on whether your technical components are correct. Prompt: In your PowerPoint slides, use the PowerPoint narration tool to verbally record your answer to the following questions: ? ? What are the challenges the characters face in overcoming problems in diversity? What are the benefits? How does critically analyzing diversity add value to interactions with people in personal and professional contexts? Throughout your short PowerPoint presentation, make sure you use effective multimedia and communication skills: ? ? ? Construct your presentation in a way that ensures the audio and visual elements are logically organized in order to convey your message to your audience. Provide supporting evidence in your presentation that supports the importance of an issue or event in the film and its impact within diversity. Develop the audio narration to logically flow with the presentation to articulate the importance of critically analyzing an issue or event in the film and its impact within diversity. Note: When you are recording the oral component of your presentation, a headset or external microphone is recommended for better results. However, you can also use the microphone incorporated into your computer or cellphone. Use the Check File Compatibility With Earlier Versions and Are You Having Video or Audio Playback Issues? resources from Microsoft to help you check compatibility between versions of Office. Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Your presentation should be 2 to 4 slides and should be between 2 to 4 minutes in length. You are required to include a combination of text, visuals, and audio narration in order to support your work. Speaker notes are not required. Be sure to cite your sources, including the film you discuss, on a separate slide in APA format. If you require alternative accommodations for completing this assignment, reach out to your instructor directly for more information.

MLA In-Text Citations: The Basics

Guidelines for referring to the works of others in your text using MLA style are covered throughout the MLA Handbook and in chapter 7 of the MLA Style Manual. Both books provide extensive examples, so it’s a good idea to consult them if you want to become even more familiar with MLA guidelines or if you have a particular reference question.

BASIC IN-TEXT CITATION RULES

In MLA Style, referring to the works of others in your text is done using parenthetical citations. This method involves providing relevant source information in parentheses whenever a sentence uses a quotation or paraphrase. Usually, the simplest way to do this is to put all of the source information in parentheses at the end of the sentence (i.e., just before the period). However, as the examples below will illustrate, there are situations where it makes sense to put the parenthetical elsewhere in the sentence, or even to leave information out.

General Guidelines

• The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1) upon the source medium (e.g. print, web, DVD) and (2) upon the source’s entry on the Works Cited page.
• Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text must be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry on the Works Cited page.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS: AUTHOR-PAGE STYLE

MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author’s name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. For example:

Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (263).

Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth 263).

Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).

Both citations in the examples above, (263) and (Wordsworth 263), tell readers that the information in the sentence can be located on page 263 of a work by an author named Wordsworth. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Works Cited page, where, under the name of Wordsworth, they would find the following information:

Wordsworth, William. Lyrical Ballads. Oxford UP, 1967.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS FOR PRINT SOURCES WITH KNOWN AUTHOR

For print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase (usually the author’s last name) and a page number. If you provide the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the parenthetical citation.

Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as “symbol-using animals” (3).

Human beings have been described as “symbol-using animals” (Burke 3).

These examples must correspond to an entry that begins with Burke, which will be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of an entry on the Works Cited page:

Burke, Kenneth. Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method. University of California Press, 1966.
