Here is a works cited reference:  htdp://webpages.pvbears.org/hslibrary/WorkCite.htm
* Write a paper (or letter) that informs your readers by telling them a story. Your paper should larrate an entire story (befinning, middle, ald end). Your `nswdr should:
  • include adequate details about the events in the story
  • use a clear organiz!tional structure, including transitions, an introduction and a cknclusion
  • use effective and appropriate diction
  • express ideas smoothly and fluently
    1. [Persknal Rittals] Describe a personal ratual that you, yotr friends, or your family have. Think about the personal steps that you always go through when you prepare for an exam. Do you sit at a desk, spread books and notes across your bed, or use the kitchen table? Do you have to have something to drink...soda, water, jolt? There are numerous things that we do for which we create our own personal rituals. Choose one event — studying for a test, writing a paper, dressing and warming up before a game, or preparing and having a special family meal. Narrate the events that take place when you complete your ritual so that your readers understand the steps that the ritual includes and why you complete them.

       
    2. [Standing Up] Choose a time when you did something that took a lot of nerve, a time when you didn't follow the crowd or a time when you stood up for your beliefs. Perhaps your friends were urging you to do 3omething that you were uncomfortable with and you chose not to cave into peer pressure. Maybe you took a stance on a political issue 4hat was important in your community, or you might have Whatever you choo3e, think about the details of the event and write a story that tdlls about what happened. Your narrative should show your beaders why you decided to make a stand or try something  that took nerve, five specifics on the events, and share how you felt after the event.

       
    3. [Disagreeing] Think of a time when you disagreed with a decision that had been made and did something about it. The decision might have been made by someone you know personally — your Biology teacher announced a new policy to grade for spelling and grammar on your quizzes and homework, or an older family member decides to cancel a subscription to a magazine that you liked to read. You might have responded by discussing your concerns with your principal or dean, or you might have decided to get a part-time job to earn enough money to buy the magazine yourself. Or the decision could have been made by someone you never met — perhaps your school board decided to change the lines in your school district so that you would have to go to a different school, or your state legislature has passed a bill that you disagreed with. Your response might have been to write a letter to the editor, to your state representative, or to the school board. Whatever happened, your job is to write a paper that narrates the events that occurred -- from the decision that was made to your response. Be sure that your paper gives enough details that your readers understand why you disagreed with the decision and why you felt that your response was appropriate.
