Please note: this post only applies to students who failed to submit a Fall Term Project in MP2. For these students only, the Fall Term Project will be counted again as part of the 3rd Marking Period grade. Failure to re-submit your project may result in a failing grade for the entire Fall Term.
Also please note that you are not changing your project topic-- you are submitting a project on your original topic. The project guidelines are re-posted below. Please visit me at lunch or after school to discuss your project. The due date is Tuesday, Jan. 19. Dear Students: In this post I have attempted to include everything you will need to complete your term project. On the due date, you will turn in the following, in this order: Cover, Business Letter, Position Paper, and Bibliography. Make sure you read the guidelines on your handout thoroughly. The first three of these links provide you with the contents of the Project Sheet in case you misplace your printed copy. I've also added a Sample Persuasive Letter.

Then you can open the files in Word and type directly into the documents. Remember to save your work on a flash drive or your hard drive when you are finished, in case you need to edit it later.

The first one provides a simple explanation of the MLA format for bibliographic information. The second link is for EasyBib.com, which allows you to easily create free MLA-formatted citations directly online. Remember, the sources in your bibliography must be in alphabetical order using the first letter of the citation!
