Ms. Shea what does a correct picture caption citation look like? Is it like an in text citation?

And do we have to site the website we get the picture from in our bibliography?

Thanks!

Kevin Atkins, Period 1

Ms. Shea said...

Captions are not in parentheses, and don't need image citations. If you are using a fact or quote in your caption, then you need to use an in-text citation.

Captions should just describe the image in a sentence or less, including punctuation.

Okay cool

Thanks a lot for responding so fast ha

And sorry another question, do we need picture captions? Or are they just optional?

Kevin Atkins, Period 1

Ms. Shea said...

Picture captions are not required on every slide, but should be used when using an image to support your information, or to identify characters, etc.

For example, if you have an image on your title slide of the movie box cover/movie poster, you don't need to caption that, but if you have an image on an evidence slide that supports your point, you may want to have a caption under the image that explains (very briefly, 1 sentence) how it shows what you're talking about.

ms. shea,

i have come to the conclusion that it was Louis XIII not Louis XIV that was in the three musketeers which kind of blows because i now have no legit book sourses.

what do you think would be the best course of action from here??

Billy Rossman, Per 2

Ms. Shea said...

Billy -

The Issaquah Public Library is open from 1pm to 5pm on Sundays. Go ask the Librarians for help, I am sure they would be more than happy to help you find a book or two to support your research.

Look for books on French history in general, Cardinal Richelieu, and Alexandar Dumas in addition to looking up Louis XIV.

I know this might sound a little late to ask but don't worry.

Can we focus on both accuracies and inaccuracies in our thesis or do we have to choose only one side?

Thanks!

Kevin Atkins, Period 1

Ms. Shea said...

You can focus on both, as long as you're making a significant point... for example, "The movie got this and this important point right, but they changed this important point."

If the movie is largely accurate with a few small inaccuracies, you probably should focus on the accuracies.

Haley said...

Ms. Shea,
adding onto the previous comment, am I
allowed to use two accuracies in my
thesis and method along with one
inaccuracy? So can I say it is mostly accurate?

Thank You!

Ms. Shea,

i felt like procrastinating by asking you how your weekend is going haha

billy rossman per 2

Ms. Shea said...

Haley - Yep, as long as it's SIGNIFICANT and supported by evidence.

Billy - You know that look I give students when they're off task and need to get back to work? Yeah. Get back to work.

Haley said...

Thanks Ms. Shea!!

should the concluding insight slide have as much text on the slide as the thesis slide.

thanks

Molly said...

Ms. Shea,
How do you do an in-text citation for a website?
Thanks, Molly

Jon said...

Hi Ms. Shea this is Jon W. I'm making sure that I'm going Wednesday instead of Monday because me and Jimmy H. switched spots, right?

Thanks a lot

Unknown said...

Oh and i was also wondering if you could post a link to the pretty version of the outline

please and thankyou

billyrossman per2

Ms. Shea said...

Billy - The outline is not available online. Sorry.

Jon - you're correct, that's a typo, sorry!

I'm not telling you guys how to cite anything. I've provided numerous resources on this blog for that (check the sidebar), and you need to figure it out.

Jon said...

Alright sounds good, just making sure.

Thanks again!

Michael M said...

should the concluding insight slide have as much text on the slide as the thesis slide.

thanks

please answer

Ms. Shea said...

I generally don't answer questions that I've covered in class, but...

Your concluding insight slide *may* be text heavy if you're using a complete sentence, but does not automatically have to be. Use your judgment.

Beau Amrine said...

ms shea,

for the citations page i have all my citations saved to the school computers but forgot to email them to myself
so to make sure i have everything for that page is it just a total of 5 citations that have to go on it?
2 book and 3 interenet?

Ms. Shea said...

Check your handout, it outlines specifically what you need to know.

Kevin Moon said...

Ms. Shea I'm still confuesed whether my movie accurately depicts Joan of Arc, it seems like the movie doesn't go too in depth and leaves the audience guessing a lot of the times. I didn't really like the movie because it had a lot of religious themes such as Satan and God, there weren't many events and it seemed like they shortened the story of Joan of Arc.

Ms. Shea said...

Kevin -
You can make the argument that they shortened it (point out what they cut or simplified). If you can pin down what was historically accurate (do they mention certain battles, or people?) you can make an argument that, as far as you can tell, it was accurate, and you can note that the movie doesn't portray much of the history in your concluding insight.

Does that help? You can email me as well if you need to.

Alyssa Kay said...

Sorry this is so late! But do we have to dress up for the presentation?

Ms. Shea said...

Before you ask a question,

CHECK YOUR PACKET. READ THE RUBRIC.

Then double check it.

The answer is probably in there.

Michael M said...

Thanks for answering my question
