1. Research Paper Editing
GET A RED PEN

2. Make a note on your essay of anything you are missing
Check MLA formatting (double spaced, MLA heading, Time New Roman 12)
Page numbers with last name
3-5 FULL pages double spaced
Works cited page (last page of the essay)
6 in-text citations properly formatted (no direct quotes stand alone as a sentence – pg 4 in research packet)
Number your parenthetical (in-text citations)

3. Partner Editing (optional)
Switch papers with a classmate
Silently read your partner’s paper and make corrections/comments as you read
Circle any words you think can be stronger (more descriptive such as “very” or “hard”)
Put a question mark to any sentences that don’t make sense. The author should rewrite the sentence.

4. Staple your prewrite to your rough draft and turn it in
I DO NOT want any papers without a Works Cited page. You will have to turn in your paper late. Minus 10 points every day it is late without a homework extension slip.
