A few items to consider as you finalize your paper:
1. Word count of 750 words or less does NOT include World Cited Page
2. Make Works Cited Page it's OWN page
3. Make sure to cite sources/research (in text citations) for the Founding Documents (years 1760-1800) as well as Historical Figure.
4. Make sure to clearly make connections as to how the historical figure exhibited the civic value
5. Make sure to clearly state how YOU have or will try to exhibit the value...do not speak in generalities...be SPECIFIC
6. Run Spell Check
7. Read over your paper prior to printing out and turning it in to look for errors the computer does not find (the not they, etc). Sometimes we type faster or slower than the thoughts running through our head.
8. Capitalize proper nouns...yes, many did not in the drafts, WOW!
9. Watch for unclear pronoun reference, a common error.
watch for shifts in verb tense. For example...the historical figures actions happened...therefore should be in past. What you might do or might do is present or future. Stay consistent in each section.
Print out and turn in with the rough draft I wrote on and evidence of peer tutoring if you were required to attend.
