Why can’t I get you to use citations in your writing? It is not proper to submit an essay without them, no matter how nicely you phrase the information you get from your resources. You are off to a great start. Under Discussion of continental drift, the evidence that supports this theory : You give the examples but no citations. Again, this is where there is a problem. The information comes from your references and you need to tell the reader that you took the info and from what source. It is like a legend or directory within your paper. Why scientists accept continental drift now but not when it was proposed : You state this but you don’t say “why”—–Be very specific, like it was because of…. That they did not accept wegner’s theory…. You discuss current time, what about before???? Under “Description of the scientific method & theory development” You don’t explain how it develops into a theory. A theory develops through repeated experimentation that obtains the same results. You also need to state why the SM was important to wegner. Under “How the scientific method helps us to understand the natural world? “You give a circular argument. You need to give examples and show how the SM and the natural world work. Your first and third statement work. Now connect the dots with an example. You need to specifically come out and say these have to do with one another “how??”. In your IP 5, make sure you answer the new question; can science teach us about renewable and non renewable resources. When you are citing you only use the last name of author. You need a concluding paragraph summarizing paper. Double space paragraphs. References incorrect format. Discussion of continental drift, the evidence that supports this theory 40 / 45 points Why scientists accept continental drift now but not when it was proposed 20/30 Description of the scientific method & theory development 20 /30 How the scientific method helps us to understand the natural world 10/30 points Writing, grammar & use of APA style 10/15 105/150- once you put the citations in your revision, I will change your score for IP 4.
