M.L.A. rules! (SOPHS and SENIORS read only)


















I hope you're not dreaming of MLA title pages, but if you are, seniors, shouldn't you be able to do this in write these in your sleep by now?

And sophomores, the formatting on this page looks very familiar to you, too, right?

Just follow the sample heading and go to it, personalizing your changes. However, I am Mr. Fiorelli, not Professor Rannazinni. Your class is either Creative and Critical Writing or American Literature. Then type a "dash" and your section color to that line three of your heading looks like American Literature-yellow or Creative and Critical Writing-purple

If you bother to read the first two sentences, please note the anemic passive voice verb constructions in both of them. Bad writing is EVERYWHERE.

Other MLA rules to keep in mind: double space throughout your paper, "head" each page with your last name and the page number, integrate quotations correctly into your paper according to MLA style (check your style book or any good online college writing lab for style guidelines).

Hand in your paper "ontime" for full credit. Late papers will be accepted with a 15% deduction from the final grade per day late.
