[LM_NET] Tar: Sec: MLA + Internet citation

[Leslie Lomers <LLomers@AOL.COM>]

I think I am banging my head against a wall.  I put an MLA handout  into the 
students hand as they begin the research process.  I subject them  to a 
PowerPoint with "how to" cite Internet sources. Finally, I have the  Internet 
citation form for MLA style posted beside each computer and linked to  the on-line 
databases.  I know this is dry material but they just don't  "get it".  I 
pointed to the paper beside the computer at least twenty times  today as students 
struggled with note cards.  I keep thinking I'm not doing  something right...
     Do you have any electrical jolts that will light  up the MLA light bulb 
in my students brain?  There has got to be a fun way  to make this information 
"stick".
