MLA Style Center

Summary: We had another writing workshop day where we reviewed writing strategies to finish writing your third draft. There was a focus on MLA in-text citations, citing your sources, vocabulary, brevity, and exploring writing more descriptive sentences. Please wait for me to give your homework feedback on your paper first. If you do not get your paper soon, please do a Write & Improve essay.
