You will not be assessed on the ideas or content of the essay, just your application of the style you've chosen, and your use of paraphrase, summary, and quotation.

Use MLA style in your essay.

Please ensure that your essay contains the following:

1. Appropriate font size and style;
2. A first page with essay title and course information;
3. Double spacing in the body of your essay;
4. At least three different sources cited in the body of your essay;
5. A properly formatted Works Cited page;
6. At least one paraphrase, one summary, and one direct quotation that effectively support your ideas. These should each be highlighted; paraphrase in blue, summary in green, quotation in yellow. Highlight the specific example of each of these that you've included in your work to make clear your understanding of each.
