Mock essay guidlines:
Create a “Mock Essay” similar to the example here (on ANY topic of your choice) in which you MAKE UP sources, quotations, etc. (no real research required). In your mock essay be sure to include at least one of each of the following quotes, as well as the other criteria listed below:
• Short (direct) quotation
• Long (direct) quotation (correctly placed into a “quote block”)
• Paraphrase from an outside source
• An introduction with a hook, background information, and an underlined thesis statement
• Works Cited page using the correct MLA format—should include a citations from at least four sources—one website, one book, one newspaper or magazine article, and one online database.
It’s okay if your essay “ends” rather abruptly—you aren’t writing the entire essay—just the first page and a half to two pages of it. No conclusion is necessary. Be sure on page two that you have your last name and page number in a header in the upper right-hand corner. It should be approximately 1 ½-2 pages in length PLUS a Works Cited page, typed and double-spaced. NO handwritten assignments will be accepted. Humor is encouraged and appreciated!
