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. Project Guidelines: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B51mxLFJWZnda0JISEhrWDliUXc/view?usp=sharing The Top 100 Events List: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B51mxLFJWZndNVRGVllwdzliLTQ Persuasive Letter Guidelines: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B51mxLFJWZndMFRBdVJyUlZHMmc Sample Persuasive Letter: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B51mxLFJWZndcWxmVE5neXdGZ00/edit?usp=sharing Use the following templates for the cover, business letter, and position paper. After you click the links, when the files appear in Google Drive, you will not be able to edit them. You will need to download the Word files to your computer. 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!
