We'll be spending the month of February shooting and editing our first full video production, a story featuring a series of puppets. Eighth graders wrote a script and storyboarded visual ideas, and will take turns directing, operating a camera, working the puppets, and ultimately editing everything together.
Here is the link to the 8th Grade podcast (it will begin playing almost instantly):

MLA Formatting Information (revised February 2010)
Most schools and universities use the MLA style guide for the formatting of papers and reports. For all papers, presentations (including PowerPoint), and reports that require a “works cited” page or bibliography, please refer to the following. This format applies to work submitted to all teachers at St. Paul’s, regardless of subject:
MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (available at bookstores)

Or follow the basic format as follows (include punctuation):

- Publisher.
- Year of Publication. (Day Month Year, i.e.: 1 May 2009)
