The final drafts of your essays are due next class. Good luck! 1/5/16 - 1/6/161/11/2016 In today's class, we reviewed MLA formatting to help you format your character analysis essays correctly. I have attached the resource packet from today's class below. In class, we went through each aspect of formatting with examples. If you need additional help with MLA formatting on your essay, I recommend consulting The Owl at Perdue. After the formatting lesson, students worked to make necessary formatting changes to their essays. Next class, we will be having a peer critique session on the rough drafts of your essays. The final drafts of your essays will be due next Tuesday/Wednesday. I recommend using this web resource to create your works cited page: Knight Cite
