Journal+5

For any research project that is created, it is important to not only gather the information needed but to also effectively scale down the information to bolster the most essential points. With your most recent interview, you have already begun to gather information on your topic. Now, you should begin to take a look at what you can already discard from what you have gained.
 * Honors English I- Research Journal #5**

In this journal, you need to create three parts. Each part is designed to get your information into a directed focus. Take the information and/or direct quotes from your interview and divide them into these three sections: Quotes/Information I definitely want to incorporate, Quotes/Information I possibly want to use, and Quotes/Information I will most likely not utilize.

After you have sorted your interview into three parts, devise a correct MLA formatted citation for the interview you composed. See the formatting guide below.


 * Note- I cannot stop you from using citation generators; however, be extremely cautious when using them. CHECK for accuracy before you post your citation. Many generators do not use updated formatting. Remember, you are smarter than a computer! :)

There are two possible ways for you to cite your interview. Below are those choices.
 * Interview MLA formatting**

This citation is for interviews that you conduct yourself. They include the name of the interviewee, the description Personal interview, and the date.
 * Personal Interview**

Example: Appleseed, Johnny. Personal interview. 24, Feb. 2011.

This citation is for interviews that took place through email. They include the author of the email (your interviewee), the subject line of the email in quotations, the statement Message to (Your Name), the date, and the medium of publication.
 * Email Interview**

Example: Mack, Mary. "Re: Jack Horner's Interview." Message to Jack Horner. 3, Aug. 2011. Email.
