If your SIP “original draft” is posted and your Static pages are finished,

1. Write 2- 5 questions regarding MLA requirements/formatting and 3 questions about an element in your story you would like to research (for instance, in my story I might research time periods or alternate realities or…) Complete research on these two topics, finding answers to your questions.

2. After -your research, complete a blog post about what you researched and the questions you answered. The Reflection posts should follow the following format
