Please do not worry too much about the most recent postings/ references to "MLA" (Modern Language Association). We will take "baby" steps initially in the writing of a "mini-argumentative research paper (Specific topic will be announced soon, although, if you recall I have been giving you hints since we first met in September..."social media...") To make it "easier" for you, I will actually be providing the links to the resources-you must use these-certainly not "all" of them-but ONLY the resources that I provide... The reason for this will become clear soon. By the way, upon completion, you will present your paper in front of the class (this does not mean reading it, but rather, creating a power-point or other visual aid depicting your findings supporting your position).
Prior to this MAJOR project, we will first work on writing a paper using the resources that appear below related to the "Harrison Bergeron" short story. For now, you should probably familiarize yourself with the MLA documentation resources.
