Note: Completing this will take a while, so give yourself enough time.
When you hand in each out-of-class assignment, you will turn in not only the final revision but the items listed below.
- Reflecting : (Right on top)
Answer the following questions: 1) what are the two most important
things you learned about your subject/American literature from writing
this essay? 2) how did the research affect your thinking/essay? Type
this on a separate sheet of paper.
- Editing self-check list : This must be completed by you (Editing Checklist).
- Final revision : the final, revised version of the essay. Follow sample MLA format essay
(also on Course Documents page) for format. (This, my friends, is a
no-brainer: take the sample essay in one hand, and your essay in the
other and make your essay match the layout of name, line spacing, page
numbering, etc. from the sample essay). All of the essays handed in
need to have a title Be sure to proofread carefully -- as the writer of
the paper you are responsible for any grammatical or typographical
errors.
- Works Cited Page : Be sure to include correctly formatted Work Cited page. (See "Citing Sources")
- Email final draft to me :
Using your own (see yahoo.com for free email) or the college's email
account, send me an electronic copy of your final draft (see
instructions below).
Make sure you have
each of these before you hand in your paper. Hate to be a stickler, but
. . .your paper will not be accepted and will be considered a "late
paper" if you do not include all of the items noted above.
REMEMBER: You must make an appointment so we can review your rough draft before you can hand it in.
