Third Hour Essays
I hope the overview in class was clear, but in case it wasn’t, here’s a primer:
- Heading your paper (link to AP site). The link also provides an example of in-text citations, margins, and headings.
- MLA format guide at OWL at Purdue. Most of you will be using the “book” and “online periodical” sections.
- Works cited page (click to make larger):
- Keep in mind that the entire document should be 12pt Times New Roman, double-spaced. To make sure: after you finish your paper, save it, hit ctrl+A, right click the text, then hit “Paragraph.” The line spacing option should say “double”, and the spacing before and after should read “0”. Hit “OK,” then (with the text still highlighted) check the text size and font boxes to ensure they read “12” and “Times New Roman,” respectively. If not, or if they’re blank, fix them.
- You’re all set! Send me a copy tonight if you want me to look it over, but don’t depend on me to do your final editing. I won’t have access to a computer all night.
