Type three to four paragraphs each question. Single spaced 12 point font, 1” margins. You must use one or two supporting points per question from your textbook. However, the focus is from your class notes. DO NOT use the Internet under any circumstances. Cite in MLA format (Smith, 279). List the textbook in a works cited section at the end.
Note: Avoid contractions (can’t). Use the third person (he, not I or you). Avoid overgeneralizing (say, Athenian citizens, not people or Greeks for example).
