<\/div>\n
Particular Instructions<\/div>\n
No ouside sources !!!! only “book heart of darkness” and article,”an image of africa” shouldbe used and cited <\/div>\n
Include a MLA header on your first page (or Chicago Style title page).<\/div>\n
Double space, 12 pt font.<\/div>\n
Pay attention to professionalism of your presentation.<\/div>\n
Use footnote citations in Chicago Style.<\/div>\n
Remember that quotations are NOT standalone sentences, rather they must be integrated into your prose.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Some pet peeves:<\/div>\n
The word \u201cmention\u201d is banned. It\u2019s a weak and overused word.<\/div>\n
Contractions in formal writing: don\u2019t do it!<\/div>\n
Unnecessarily long quotations, paraphrase when appropriate and only employ quotations as evidence that supports your interpretation.<\/div>\n
Spelling errors. If I can see them they must be pretty egregious and they suggest that you did not proofread or care much about your work.<\/div>\n
Words like \u201cimpactful\u201d that don\u2019t say anything. Choose language that says precisely what  the impact was.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
