Formatting guidelines for essays:
  • For in-class PRC papers, no cover page is needed.
  • For the FINAL DRAFT, a cover page is needed – use the Assignment Template related to the paper (above) and complete ALL pages prior to turning it in. There are four pages in total. The first page is a cover page/checklist; the second page is where you type your essay; the third page is the PRC reflection journal; the fourth page is the rubric. ALL pages (except the rubric) must be  present and completed for the final draft submission. See the Weekly file for more details!
  •   Title – (suggests the subject, and sparks interest; expresses main point)
  1. bold, centered on the page, followed by the body text
  2. capitalize content words (not articles, prepositions, etc. unless they begin the title)
  3. no quotations or underlining of title (The Leaves of Summer)
  4. is not a sentence (is usually only four or five words long)
