EWRT1A-24: thesis statement problems and more MLA

Here is a pdf of what we went over at the end of class on Tuesday, common problems with thesis statements.

Also keep in mind that The Longman has the MLA rules in it and I expect you to use the book to figure out how to cite things correctly. Some of the rules changed in 2009, which I went over on the handout. However, the only change that will probably affect you in regards to essay 1 is the fact that you need to state "print" at the end of your works cited entry.

If you want more help with MLA style, the best on-line resource I've found is at the Owl at Purdue.
