MLA HISTORICAL FIGURE RESEARCH REPORT
This week everyone will be creating an MLA Biography Report for the same Historical Person you did your Facebook Project on. Please use the research you already did to complete the report by the end of the week. The format for your report is as follows:All papers will be 3-4 pages in length. (My Sample is 4). You must use the Historical Figure that you were assigned during the Facebook Historical Project. (See List Posted In Class Or Ask Mr. S). You will use the MLA Short Form (See Example Below), but the report will be Times New Roman, Font 12, Single-Spaced (Except for Header) and must include at least four (4) sources in MLA Citation Format. You must also turn in an MLA BIOGRAPHY PLANNING SHEET and a CITATION SHEET with your report. The Planning Sheet may be hand-written, but the report itself must be SAVED as a PDF from MS WORD and sent as an ATTACHMENT on and EMAIL. You may also EMAIL AS ATTACHMENT from Google Drive if you wish. DO NOT SHARE IT! No other forms of turn in will be accepted for credit. See below for the Grading Rubric.
