- "This is an example of what a direct quote might look like with an in-text MLA citation" (Davis).
- This is an example of what it might look like if you didn't directly quote a source - but instead paraphrased it in your own words (Davis).
- Be of (or very close to) the required length for your intended grading level (1000-1300 words for an "A" level paper)
- Again, unless what you are writing is your orignial words or thoughts, you MUST document it - simply rewriting or paraphrasing another writer's words is plagiarism unless you provide them credit.
- Document your source anytime you quote, paraphrase, or summarize information specific to a source.
- You do not have to document general information.
- You will not document your own thoughts or words.
- ROUGH DRAFTS WILL BE DUE NO LATER THAN MARCH 1st.
