PLUS
Plan. I will find an article that is a good example of the systems geographers use to understand the world. I need define what I mean by systems in my own words with out copying it from the book, explain how the article connects to the idea of systems (The Six Elements), and provide details from the article to support this. First I will look at criteria B and C to know what will make a good mark. I will be sure to have my notebook, text book, handbook, and this handout.
Locate. On day one I will spend 5-10 minutes in the library sorting through the magazines provided to find a good example. I will also keep in mind the article that was my second pick but I did not use. Writing about why I did not use it will help my C grade.
Use. I will spend the rest of the class scanning through the article and copying important things into my note book so it is not a problem if I cannot find the magazine again. I will use my note book, not a computer, in class one. During class two I will be ready to write on the computer. When I write in class two
I will double check the MLA style in the handbook, including headers and proper citation. I will finish this during the third meeting of class in the Library and have it ready to hand in next class meeting.

Self Reflect. Before printing I will double check the criteria, the concept (both in handbook) and the instructions to be sure I meet academic expectations. Upon handing it in a will fill in a reflection sheet where I will explain how I meet the requirements of criteria B and D
