The Short Folder Rules<\/p>\n
1. Create creative titles<\/p>\n
A paper on Jack London\u2019s \u201cTo Build a Fire\u201d should not be entitled Jack London or \u201cTo Build a Fire\u201d. It should be entitled what you are saying about either or both, creatively, in the paper. This goes for rough drafts (when they occur for Major Grades later in the semester), for which you would have a \u201cworking title\u201d. Please do not decorate your titles with CAPS, larger font, italics, quotation marks, or underlining. Your title should be the same font as the rest of the paper. <\/p>\n
2. Commas go inside quotation marks<\/p>\n
For example: When I read \u201cThe Red Convertible,\u201d<\/p>\n
NOT<\/p>\n
When I read \u201cThe Red Convertible\u201d,<\/p>\n
3. Title treatment<\/p>\n
Poems, articles, essays, and short stories go in quotation marks AND books, movies, newspapers, TV shows and magazines should be italicized or underlined. Nothing goes in quotation marks and with italics\/underlines. Every paper we write will involve not only the title we are writing about collectively, but \u201cCase Study\u201d titles as well. <\/p>\n
FOR MLA research protocol:<\/p>\n
4. Periods go after \u2013 only after \u2013 parentheses.<\/p>\n
5. Periods go after, but quotation marks go before the parentheses.<\/p>\n
6. Space before writing your MLA parentheses.<\/p>\n
7. No parentheses belong in a research paper except MLA parentheses.<\/p>\n
8. Use keywords inside those parentheses. Entire titles and entire names are not necessary. When an author\u2019s last name is available, always use that author\u2019s last name as the keyword. When there can be confusion on the Works Cited page regarding your keyword, choose one that would avoid the confusion.<\/p>\n
9. Page numbers are included in parentheses for sources with page numbers. <\/p>\n
10. Here is the Works Cited model for a novel: <\/p>\n
Works Cited<\/p>\n
Theroux, Paul. Dark Star Safari. Boston: Mariner Books, 2004.<\/p>\n
Author, last name first. Book Title. Place of Publishing Company: Publishing Company, Year of Publication. Indent second lines if they exist, which in the above example does not apply. <\/p>\n
11. Here is a Works Cited model for an Internet page. Note that there are three (only 3) mandatory elements to be included for any web page, although some pages also have authors, sponsors, and dates of update:<\/p>\n
Works Cited<\/p>\n
\u201cTitle of Web Page in Quotation Marks.\u201d Date of Your Research<\/p>\n
www.fullwebaddresscopyandpasteisOK.govedu.cometc<\/p>\n
Another example, this time of a \u201cstacked\u201d web page (one with an author, sponsor, and date of update):<\/p>\n
Randerson, James. \u201cChildish Superstition: Einstein\u2019s letter makes view of religion relatively clear.\u201d The Guardian. 13 May 2008. 5 Jan 2010<\/p>\n
http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/science\/2008\/may\/12\/peopleinscience.religion<\/p>\n
12. Last word: Not only should your entire paper be in the same font, all of your Works Cited should be in the same font. When copying and pasting long web addresses on to your Works Cited page, the next step if necessary may be to highlight the whole paper and choose only one type and one size font. <\/p>\n
(Please read for all journals)<\/p>\n
This document shows formatting while covering some instructions. Then an actual Journal #1, which follows those instructions, is included.<\/p>\n
Centered, Creative Title, Short Folder Rule #1<\/p>\n
TAB to indent each paragraph. All essays, unlike an Abstract or an Annotated Bibliography or a Discussion Board post, must have multiple indented paragraphs. The word count must be 300-500 words. Any header information you choose to include does not count as part of the 300-500 word count. The Works Cited page, which of course must be included for any essay in our class, does not count for the 300-500 word count either. In Eng 112, students don\u2019t have to write basic or \u201cstarter\u201d sentences. Whether it is Journal #1 about a personal choice or Journal #2 about a list of controversial Supreme Court decisions in recent years, students should not write basic starters such as, \u201cI am choosing to write about this for our class because \u2026\u201d and \u201cIt is an important issue people have been talking about for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the process of writing any essay in English 112, I want students to be formal. Writing is many times more formal than talking, yet students mistakenly build habits in which they start sentences with \u201cWell,\u201d \u201cYes,\u201d and \u201cNo\u201d and use language more appropriate for a friendly conversation, including the use of fragments. While all essays should include at least one quote, probably from research, do not write as if having a conversation with the reader. The reader is an abstract notion, meaning anybody in any place at any time, not just the teacher who gives out assignments. <\/p>\n
Journal #1had to be about a personal choice, big or small, that was meant to achieve a standard that perhaps it failed to do. No matter what essay is being assigned or written in this class, it has to be research. Students have to perform research, document that research, and therefore include MLA parentheses and Works Cited pages. Please keep reading this document to see an example of Journal #1. It could not be written without referencing The Short Folder and Essay Rules; both are here in Moodle and must be read and consulted for better essays. That is why many times in most responses to Journal #1, I made comments like \u201cfollow Short Folder #4\u201d or \u201cShort Folder #11 needed\u201d. Too many students, it would seem, ignored reading the required documents like The Short Folder before writing Journal #1 or proofreading the MLA standards. Please be sure to read and follow The Short Folder for Journal #2, which includes Short Folder rules #9 and #10 because of the small chance that students use a book for research in the class. Always follow the \u201cno you\u201d rule.<\/p>\n
