Guidelines:
 This paper is short, get to the point. Avoid any unnecessary discussions about the period.
 2-3 pages means AT Least 2 full pages (of text).  Anything less will reflect in your grade.
 Margins (1” all around), font size (no larger than 12), font style (Times New Roman) and
spacing (double) should be standard – do not increase them to make your paper look longer.
 Extended headings are not necessary – I only need your name at the top of the paper.
 Parenthetical citations must be used. (MLA style) If you do not have any citations you are
either plagiarizing or not using any specific info from sources, either way that is improper.
 A bibliography or works cited page must be included.
 Internet sources listed on the bibliography must have more than a web address. (No
Wikipedia)
 Any quotations should be purposeful and used to emphasize your points – do not include
long quotes to make your paper look longer.
 If your quote is longer than three lines, cut it, or put it in block form (single spaced, indent
left margin for every line).
 The format is just to write freely in first person and keep to the time period, please adhere to
formal writing procedures.
