Get organized tonight.

Works Cited Page: USE MLA style

Do not indent the first line. If the citation is longer than one line, you indent the second line five spaces. (It is called hanging indentation). We will review it again during Tuesday's class: Italicize the title of the novel.

Cover Page: Include the title of your essay in the centre of the page.

                                The Power of Questions in Harper Lee's Novel.
                                           To Kill a Mockingbird

Your title will reflect your essay's thesis.
