Use a quote to support your answer.  Remember to include an MLA-style in-text citation, as well as a works cited below your paragraph.

Learning Target(s):  Exemplary (6/6):   The student recognizes perspective in the article and can explain its main idea or concern in a way that demonstrates depth of understanding.  The supporting quotation is appropriate; it enhances the explanation.  Quotes are seamlessly integrated.  In text citations and the works cited list both adhere to MLA style and formatting.
