Standard Paper Reminder: IT IS DUE TONIGHT: SUNDAY,

THE STANDARD PAPER IS DUE TONIGHT BY 11:59PM and it counts (just the final draft) for 20% of the term grade!  PLEASE TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS!

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

PAPER DIRECTIONS:


USING QUOTES/PARAPHRASES (NOT REQUIRED):

Please remember that if you want to use quotes or paraphrases (use information from a website or reading and then re-write it using your own words) then can only come from the textbook or handouts.  This is not a research paper and if you do this in the final draft, you will be penalized for doing so.

If you used a handout:

The internal citation is the title of the handout in parenthesis after the quote with no page number.

The works cited entry is:

Multiple. "Pitts-Dilley Handouts." Handouts. John D. O'Bryant School of Mathematics & Science, Roxbury. 1 Nov. 2015. Reading.

If you used the textbook:

The internal citation is the author’s last name with page number in parenthesis without using the word “page” and “,”) after the quote or paraphrase.  For example: (Boyer 54).

The works cited entry is:

Boyer, Paul S. The American Nation. Austin: Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, 2001. Print.

PLAGIARISM:

6 of you copied and pasted work from websites into your first drafts.  If you do that again in the final draft you will at least receive a zero (0) for the final draft and you may in addition receive a zero for the entire term.  This is plagiarism and Mr. Spargo and I wrote this on your first draft papers.  Remember that you are not allowed to use, even if you cite, sources outside of the textbook and handouts.  Just make sure to have picked topics that you know about! 

Font & Spacing:

This and every paper, 12 Times New Roman, Doubled Space.

HEADING:

You must use the heading that was given to you on handout #20
