World War I essays!

Please make sure you have printed your WWI essays and handed them to me this week!  I will mark them and return them to you before you hand them in to Mrs. F..

Remember to type them and practice your MLA formatting skills!

Presentation matters!

MLA Format

Isn't it nice to realize that your teachers aren't just making this stuff up?

When writing ANY academic paper, be sure to follow the rules of the MLA for your formatting.  This includes font, spacing, titles, headings, footnotes, and on and on and on.  

For additional resources, check out the Purdue OWL.

Happy writing!

Did you know ...

... that an earthquake can shorten the length of a day?

... a giraffe can go without water longer than a camel?

These are all fun facts gleaned from the website, OMG Facts.

The student, DB, introduced our third period class to the site, and now we are all hooked!

Have a great weekend!

Happy learning!
