Remediation- telling something by using a different way to tell it
I way i have always used to do this would be power point. It is easily done and easy to control. It is easy to get that certain message to an audience and also being able to design how you want.

APA Vs MLA
MLA and APA are different but similar in many ways..
They are the same that they both use in-text citations to give credit to those whom work they have read in order to back up their argument. They both use a form of documenting the persons last name. An example is also through the works cited how they both are last name listed first. Any info that a person publishes as their own does not need to be cited with both MLA and APA. Also, any info that isnt a individual's own work MUST be cited for both APA and MLA.
They are different because APA uses in-text citation with Last name, year published, while MLA uses Last name, page number. Next, APA uses a references page at the end, while MLA uses a 'Works Cited' page at the end. APA also uses last name, first name first initial (ex: Cook, C) on the other hand, MLA uses last name, first name. (ex: Cook, Ciarra)

a) 11 in-text citations , but three references on works cited
b) Her sources are being credited because she is using in-text citation to say where she got her information from
c) She combines her sources with her own work by using the sandwich method and always using her argument then using the information she gathered to back her argument up.
