Abstract
We consider quadrilateral finite element methods for Reissner-Mindlin plates in which the shear term is modified using the MITC technique. Some alternatives to the original MITC elements are introduced. For the case when the elements are parallelograms we give error estimates for the hp-version of the methods.
