What to Hand In With Final Draft

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.

  1. 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.
  2. Editing self-check list : This must be completed by you (Editing Checklist).
  3. 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.
  4. Works Cited Page : Be sure to include correctly formatted Work Cited page. (See "Citing Sources")
  5. 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.
