Guidelines

Right now the kids are working on their outlines or their rough drafts for their papers, depending on where they are in the process. Here are the guidelines for the final draft of the paper, which NO ONE is ready for yet. This does not mean the paper is due now. Do not think that it is. If your child is panicking right now, they were not paying attention in class! (I'm typing this as they watch on the overhead right now...)

• 14 point font: Times New Roman only! Not bold.
• There will be a title page on their final draft. The first page of text should begin at the very top, and should not have a separate area for the title.
  
• Do NOT put an extra space between the paragraphs.
• Do NOT put "little titles," or subtitles, throughout your paper.
• Minimum three pages of text, and I will stop reading the paper at 20 pages.
