We began the class correcting questions 2 and 3 from page 603. We discussed the research paper on Napoleon and the MLA requirements for this. Then the students watched a documentary on Napoleon.
I have attached all of the handouts with this post and I have also included some important web links. You will need to reference these for the remainder of the course.
**Please pay attention to the Work Cited page of the sample paper. This is the new piece of information we discussed today. You will be required to complete a Works Cited page for all of your papers from now on, so this will be a very valuable resource.
