1. Either print a paper copy of your comparison/contrast essay or call it up in Canvas. If you have posted it so that the editing features show, you will be able to comment on your own work. If you posted so that the editing feature does not show, you will need to print a paper copy. (5 minutes to get ready)
2. Self Editing Review
A. Take a look at the formatting. Did you follow MLA guideliines?
Sample Essay:
Check for:
- Double spacing throughout the entire paper
- A header that uses your last name only and numbers all pages.
- Consistent font - no bold, no italics, no shift in size
- Identifying information on the left side of page #1 you have your name, my name (Professor Eaton), name of our course (English 101), and today's date or the date when you finished. (8 March 2019)
- A centered title
- Indented paragraphs
Now here comes the fun part. You need to highlight your "borrowed" information and include the in-text citations. Remember, if you borrow ideas, even if you put those ideas into your own words, you MUST give credit to the original source.
Cross check your Works Cited page
Is the title - Works Cited - centered?
- Are the entries in alaphabetical order according to the author's last names or the titles of the articles/sources should an authot not be available?
- Do you have hanging indents? (If you use EasyBib, the program will do this for you.)
- Is the Works Cited page on its own page?
In a sentence or two, explain how you organized your essay.
In a sentence or two, explain what was the most difficult part of writing this essay. What were the challenges?
In a sentence or two, describe the favorite part of your essay. Be ready to share that part with the class in a Reader's Circle.
