Today in class we talked about the basics of APA or MLA format for our paper due friday. Whether you are writing in APA or MLA use must have twelve point, times new roman that is black and double spaced. Everyone must have a title, italics for major works such as a title of a film and “quotes” for minor works such as an article. For those writing in APA format, your title page must include a Running head:Title (top left and 50 character limit )then page number on the very top right. Then in the center of the page you have your full essay title then your name underneath and finally Sparta High School under your name (*MUST BE IN THE CENTER OF PAGE*). Your next page in APA is you abstract page, another thing to be centered. On this page and the rest of your pages to come, the top left must have the title and the right must have the page number. Your next page will be your Literature review which is not centered but all the way to the left. Following your literature review you have a optional page break so depending on how long you review is, you can start a new, separate page. Next you have your synthesis paper(centered to the left) followed but a required page break and your References page. Your reference page must be centered with a hanging indent and in alphabetical order. As for MLa format it the same as what we’ve been doing our whole high school career. On the first page it's our name, teacher,subject,due date the centered is the title. Start out with the literature review(left align) then the synthesis paper(left align) and last the works cited on it own page. Keep in mind you have to submit this 11:59 Friday on turnitin.com and classroom.
What we did in class today can relate to the world because it taught me how to properly write in APA format which i am most likely to use in my college career.
