A final rough draft is due Thursday (March 13). I have been taking daily grades on the progress each student is making.

The students also can save the information to a jump drive, floppy disc, or CD so that they can work on the paper at home. I have instructed them to enter all information from all sources (minimum of three) into a Microsoft Word document that is saved to our server at school. Some students are still working from a basic thesis statement and have not completed an introduction or a conclusion. I have provided detailed instructions for setting up the pages in correct MLA format.

In MLA style, bibliographic notes are best used only when you need to cite several sources or make evaluative comments on your sources.
“Jane Austen’s ‘Wild Imagination’: Romance and the Courtship Plot in the Six Canonical Novels.” Narrative, vol. 14, no. The Courtship Novel 1740-1820: A Feminized Genre. Green considers Mansfield Park a courtship novel, including it in a list of such novels in the period 1740-1820 (163–64). See Green, especially 1-7, and also Hinnant, for further description and discussion of the courtship novel. Often the heroine and her eventual husband are kept apart initially by misunderstanding, by the hero’s misguided attraction to another, by financial obstacles, or by family objections. According to Katherine Sobba Green, the courtship novel “detailed a young woman’s entrance into society, the problems arising from that situation, her courtship, and finally her choice (almost always fortunate) among suitors” (2). In this regard it seems to fit into the genre of the courtship novel, a form, popular in the eighteenth century, in which the plot is driven by the heroine’s difficulties in attracting an offer from the proper suitor. Jane Austen’s 1814 novel Mansfield Park begins and ends with the topic of marriage. In general, they should be used only when you need to justify or clarify what you have written or when further amplification of your point is especially helpful. Content NotesĬontent notes offer the reader comment, explanation, or information that the text can’t accommodate. These may be styled either as footnotes or endnotes. Two kinds of notes are suitable with the parenthetical citations used in MLA style: content notes and bibliographic notes. For up-to-date guidance, see the ninth edition of the MLA Handbook. Note: This post relates to content in the eighth edition of the MLA Handbook.
