Week 11 Day 1

Welcome back from the one week of the term break! There is an essay assignment that we have to submit by Saturday midnight, so Mr. Rick is going to teach us on how to make it.


Our essay format is called MLA, and we need to be able to format everything correctly. If not, Mr. Rick is going to give us a 0 if we don't follow instructions. Every MLA formatting rule can be found here, and it's simple on how to edit it... Just needs to change the margins and also the line spacing. You can look up the tutorial in the internet...


The important thing you also need to have is that your essay must be an argumentative essay, not a report. An argumentative essay is an essay that will support your thesis, what you are talking about. And it needs to be about 1500 words long. That's kind of long... about 5 pages. Well... a good thing we have a lot of time to do it!

Also for your essay, you need to cite your sources. You need to have at least 5 sources or else it's not valid because you don't research in a lot of places. There is a special way to cite sources, so look it up in the internet.


Well, so there's the essay. Do well on it.
