Today in class we continued to work on our senior papers that are due on February 1st. Before Mr. Rivers allowed us to work independently, he went over how each of our senior papers should look, APA or MLA. He went over the structure of the paper and how we should construct it so that it is in the correct order and format. Mr. Rivers also reminded us that today (Thursday Jan. 24), Friday (Jan. 25) and Jan 31st will be the last days in class that we have to work on our senior paper. After this week, most of the work on our senior paper will be done at home.
For the APA paper, the order of the pages should be as follows-
Title Page
Abstract
Literature Review
Synthesis Paper
References
For the MLA paper, the order of the pages should be as follows-
Literature Review
Synthesis Paper
Works Cited
For each senior paper the works cited or reference should be on their own page and cited properly. If the works cited or reference sheet is not attached to our paper itself, then you will get an automatic zero on the paper for plagiarism. For an APA paper, the title page should be on its own page as well as the abstract. For the MLA paper, the literature review and synthesis paper should be together and the only separate part of the paper should be the works cited.
Also, for an APA paper, the citations on the reference page should be anything that helped the writer write their paper. This includes anything that the writer read that influenced their paper. For an MLA paper, only quotes that are directly in the paper or paraphrased in the paper should be included in the works cited page.
Once again, this paper is due on Feb. 1st at 11:59. Good Luck and I hope this helps anyone who was absent
