This is the deadline for your first draft, so please hand this in at the beginning of the lesson.
Today you will continue to write your academic paper. Please allow me to see your work and mark you off after completing the various stages: map/outline, thesis statement, bibliography, introduction, first draft, edits and rewrites, final draft.
If you want to bring your computer to class, please do; This might save you some time.
Spelling and grammar checker:In Microsoft Word, the spelling and grammar checker is under "Tools" on your menu bar. There is also a "Thesaurus" under "Tools", too.
Header:There are two ways to put a header on your paper. One is to manually do it after you have finished writing your paper. The other way is to access it under "View", which is also on the menu bar. In the navigation bar for "Header and Footer", you should click on the "Different First Page" checkbox.
The first page of you header should look like this:
Running head: THE SHORT TITLE OF MY PAPER
All the other pages in your paper should look like this:
THE SHORT TITLE OF MY PAPER
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Kind regards,
Chris Elvin
