Here is a little extra information for those needing to finish their papers beyond the bounds of our class time. All of your databases should have had citations (which you saved on your Works Cited page); these will need to be alphabetized and reformatted to MLA specifications: double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 pt font, 1 inch margins, and a reverse indent for all lines except the first. As for your books and websites, you already have the information, just plug it in to your citation, in order! If something is missing (like an author), just go to the next thing on the list (like the Title). Be sure to use the same punctuation as the examples, and--as always--italicize the name of all books and put the titles of articles or web pages in quotation marks! For more help, come see me before school or during pirate time!
BTW, Blog 18 is still here and due Friday, so don't think you are off the hook!

my research paper was coming along great! I just need to come get my folder so I can finish my first draft! :)
