\nSUBMIT ESSAY \u201cFINAL DRAFT\u201d HERE (10 POINTS)
\n\u00a0
\nOverall, nice work in meeting, or exceeding the minimum requirements of a full-length academic essay.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nA Few Reminders
\n* All of the editorial feedback for your academic work can be found in the previous Essay\/RR\u2019s. For the \u201cFinal Draft\u201d I may left some brief comments on visuals that caught my eye (e.g. missing MLA page numbering, unaccepted fonts, etc.)\u2028
\n* You do not have to include a line, in the MLA name section area that says something along the lines of Course motif: ancestral memory. Your chosen motif should be in your thesis statement and located in the introductory paragraph.\u2028
\n* Nothing in your essay should be in bold.\u2028
\n* Essay titles are not in bold, nor should they be in italics.\u2028
\n* Everything, including the Works Cited page and the MLA page numbering, needs to be Times New Roman font and 12-point in size.\u00a0\u2028
\n* Delete any blank spaces (e.g any extras spaces between the title of the essay and the start of the introductory paragraph); otherwise, this is considered \u201cexcessive spacing\u201d and points will be compromised.\u00a0Use the formatting button in the MS Word tool bar to see where potential unnecessary Page Breaks need to be deleted (so there are no blank pages found in the middle of your essay).\u2028\u2028

\n* Compromised page margins (an essay that is narrow and pushed in nature) is another example of excessive spacing and points will be compromised. MS Word is already defaulted to the proper MLA page margins. When in doubt, go to Purdue Owl, and in the SEARCH box, type: MLA Sample Essay. It\u2019s all there. Take the time, prior to your \u201cFinal Version\u201d which is valued at 30 points, to ensure your work is following these standard academic measures.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nYour goal, between now and next Wednesday, July 19, 2023, is to keep working on your \u201cFinal Draft,\u201d creating numerous revisions, edits, until you finally reach what you\u2019d consider a \u201cFinal Version.\u201d\u2028\u2028Work on the essay, every day, giving yourself time to \u201csleep on it\u201d and come back the following day with a fresh perspective.\u2028\u2028You don\u2019t want your \u201cFinal Version\u201d to neglected, only to carry the SAME mistakes one would find in a \u201cFinal Draft.\u201d\u00a0\u2028
\n* When the \u201cFinal Version\u201d Submission Portal goes live, a formal Canvas\u00a0Announcement\u00a0will go out.\u2028
\n* Ideally, you should have worked from beginning to end, reviewing and editing your essay anywhere from 5 to 9 full pass throughs. This includes evaluating word choice, sentence structure, paragraph development, running spellcheck, ensuring all the names (author, book, etc.) are spelled correctly and consistent in the essay, and more.\u2028
\n* Keep in mind, the Works Cited page carries the weight five (5) points. You want to make sure this page is in its best representation; do not overlook this section. This tells the reader(s) where and who is influencing you as writer and researcher.\u2028
\n* To see a properly-formatted Works Cited page, go to\u00a0Purdue Owl\u00a0and in the\u00a0SEARCH\u00a0box, type: MLA Works Cited page. Again, everything you need to know can be found in the Canvas course Module:\u00a0RESOURCES: UNDERSTANDING MLA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
