Keep in mind that the essay must be 12 point, Times New Roman, double-spaced, zero spacing and in a revised form using MLA expectations. Further, when doing your “work cited” page, in order to practice this skill, I want you to identify the chapter the quotes came from (see me for help). It must be save on the computer in your “ELA B30” folder. Call this file “Lord Essay.”
