Emailing the assignment is not acceptable and will not be considered a timely submission.

Work Submitted

Remember to create a title for your work that will capture your reader’s interest!

§         Word Processing: Workshop drafts and final versions must be word-processed. If you do not have a computer, use the labs at SCSU.

§         Format (document design): Use MLA Format/Citation. Follow SMH 8e. For an example of proper pagination, spacing, and margins, see sample paper see the sample essay that concludes SMH 20. Use an Arial, Helvetica, Times, or Courier font (or equivalent) at either a 10 or 12 point size. Please staple pages.

§         Quotations, Summary, and Paraphrasing: Documentation according to MLA (Modern Language Association) standards. See SMH 18, 19, and 20; we will also review in class.

§         First Submissions: Each of your essays submitted should include:

§         Outline: A formal outline of your work.  Your outline may be a part of your drafting process or it may be a part of your editing process, but it should be a part of your writing. See SMH 3e, 19b, and the model on 442-44 for guidance.

§         Works Cited: Whether you quote a source directly, paraphrase it, or summarize, it should be both noted in the body of your essay (indicate the text[s] in which the information or ideas appeared and, for example, the page number[s] [in the case of written materials] in which it appeared) and be fully cited on your Works Cited page.

Neither the outline nor the works cited “count” towards the paper length.

• Revisions: If essay is a revision, submit the graded essay and grading sheet with revision. If the original essay and grading sheet are not submitted, the revision will not be accepted.

The key to correction marks is in SMH. Numerical notations refer to the “Twenty Most Common Surface Errors”; other marks are “Revision Symbols.”  You are expected to familiarize yourself with the notation for a) your own revision/editing process and b) for helping peers during workshop.
