Seniors: Homework and Interview Letter

Your works cited page for the career paper is due Wednesday, Aug. 8th. The forms for MLA citation can be found at these two places:
Remember that your works cited page should be numbered in sequence, or as an additional page in your paper. You can go to the end of your rough draft, hit CTRL-->Enter to insert a new page. Then print out only the last page. I'm giving you until Friday to finish the final version of the draft. You will turn in the paper along with your sources then.

The interview letter -- due on Thursday, August 9th -- should formatted in full block style. The letter is single-spaced, with an extra space between the different sections and between paragraphs. Please include the following:
  • One paragraph introducing your subject -- who you interviewed and why (to establish credibility), when and where the interview took place
  • One or two paragraphs detailing the useful information that you got from the interview -- in other words, a summary of the relevance of the interview
This letter should be integrated into your final draft.

Homework

As always, please use complete sentences and cite frequently from the text.

Include whether or not you plan to pursue the career discussed in your research paper and why or why not. Also include plans for career post-graduation and any career-related plans for this summer. This paper can be informal in tone but should follow the conventions of college-level writing. Share with me via email as "lastname-addendum."
