Further work on referencing and citation

In Monday's class we are going to practice referencing.

Last week, you wrote a short essay, supporting your points with references from two online articles.

This week, you are going to write a short report, using four online sources to support and illustrate your points.  The focus of the practice will be on using quotations and summaries.

The task is to write a report in support of a planning proposal.  The proposal is for a new, high-tech office in central Cambridge.  The building is completely sustainable in its use of materials and energy use.  The purpose of the building is something you can agree in your groups.  

The idea is to give you a piece of writing that focuses on a number of your degree subjects - IT, environmental technology, civil engineering...if there is no direct link, I'm sure you can find a way to include your point of view.

You need to persuade the local authority that this building is truly 21st century, and that it meets the needs of the community it serves.
