In today's class we continued to talk and also work on our senior paper. Mr. Rivers really emphasized how how we need to be more efficient and more intuitive as possible. This really gives up a heads up into the future even into college because he's telling us to be efficient with our time and it can really lead to better and bigger things in the future. Also teaches us the proper way to write big essays to get ready for college. We further continued to talk about the two appropriate styles of writing such as MLA and APA. Both essays must include 12pt font, Times New Roman, Black, and also double spaced. Use Italics for major works and "Quotes" for minor works. Lastly, ABC order when citing your sources on the last page. For MLA format you need last name and page number in the header and also in the top left your name (enter) teacher (enter) subject (enter) and date. The title of paper should be centered and the literature review and also the synthesis page should be constant to the left side of the paper. For the work cited it must be centered to the page. For the second technique you need a running head: title (top left and 50 character limit) with a page number and title must be center. On a separate page is were the abstract is and it must be centered. A mandatory separate page is needed for the Literature Review and also the Synthesis page. Lastly the Reference page must be on a separate page and must stay constant to the left side of the page. The essay should be finished and handed in to turnitin.com by February 16, 2018 at 11:59 p.m and if late will be automatic 0 and a failure.
