English Majors...how do I present this...?

Perhaps you could include photgraphs of famous people reknowned for their honesty and thoughtfulness.  Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, etc.  These could be juxtaposed with people infamous for their duplicity.

Call and ask their English department what they use.... it's probably MLA or APA format.

Twenty pages of worksheets?  Are you joking?  That is just going to bore the students into bad behaviour.  Why not assign a different review activity?  Maybe assign each group a major vocab AND grammar concept from the semester, and have them design a game to test their classmates' knowledge of that area.  Or again, give groups a grammar and vocab concept and have them work together to write a script for a short play (or scene) that reviews that concept.  Let them work together to memorize the play and they can perform it when you return to show the work they did.  \n\nAs for English, if you normally spend the entire block in silent reading then I guess you could continue to do that.  But again, why not give the students something that actually ENGAGES them in the learning process?  Have them find a news story that reflects one of the central issues in the play.  When they come to class they can work in groups to discuss how their chosen story relates to the play.  Then ask them to swap news stories with a partner and write a letter to the editor relating that story to the play to current events to their opinions.\n\nThe worst thing you can do when you've got a sub is to give the kids mindless work, which seems to be exactly what you've got planned.  You're just asking for them to act out.

Obviously, no one on Yahoo Answers went along on your school field trip, so, no one here can give you any specifics for your article.\n\nSo far as format is concerned, think of a snappy-sounding "headline" for your story. Buy a newspaper or two today and look at the way the articles in a real newspaper are set up. It's pretty much like a regular essay - there's a beginning, a middle, and an end (but not a "conclusion"-sounding one).\n\nNewspaper articles always stress the five things all people want to know - the who, the what, the where, the how, and the why. If you can cover all five of those points, you'll be able to compose a good article.\n\nMake sure it is neatly typed, is spell-checked, and contains proper sentence structure. If there are quotes from anybody, make sure to include proper punctuation. And last, but not least, learn your lesson about putting off assignments till the last minute. This will backfire almost every time. Good luck!

Welcome all students, staff and vistors. Give the reason for the occasion (new library, music recital, ect). Introduce the next speaker or participant. Write out what you want to say and go over it with an English teacher. They can help you put it in good order. Practice on friends. Speak slowly. Look at the audience. Smile.

MLA is what most teachers prefer.  (Modern Language Association, keyword being "modern") \n\nWrite 3 main topics that you would like to write about your main subject surrounding a main point. Then in each paragraph following explain what or how you will prove in the following essay about those 3 main topics.  Asking the questions who, what, where, when, how, and why helps to establish some topics to talk about in your essay.\n\nOn MLA format, put 1" margins around the border.  The top left lines should have this information:  Your name, your class, your teacher, date (latest updated date).  Your last name and page of the essay will go in the top right corner.  (Always imply that page 1 is the cover, and you do not have to list it on the 1st page.)\n\nI hope this helps!  This class was hell for me until I realized what I was doing.  Good luck with your paper and don't start it at the last minute-- give yourself time to think.

******************************************************\nI always used to pick topics that fit these two rules:\n******************************************************\n1) Something that I'm passionate about (or something I knew a lot about)\n\n2) Something that can be illustrated with pictures or brought into class.  \n\nI never failed to get an "A" with those two rules in mind when picking a topic.\n\nA website I found years after I went to school and college says pretty much the same thing, but is an excellent resource for how to make the best presentation you can.  This info is worth it's weight in gold, believe me.

I really don't know, and have no desire to count, but that's the type of thing people graduate college on. Go down to your local University's Library, and I guarantee some English Major did a last minute thesis. Just check through the abstracts, and you should be able to find that pretty quickly.

What your teacher wants you to do is, rather than just put the wuote in your paper, explore why and how this quote serves to further your argument.  For example, if I was writing a paper about teh play MacBeth and wanted to talk about Lady MacBeth's madness, it wouldn't be enough for me to put in  the paper "Lady MacBeth repeats 'out damned spot!' which shows her increasing madness."  I would have to go on from there and say something like, "The repetition of 'out damned spot,' reveals how Lady MacBeth is fixated by the blood stains she sees on her hands but are no longer there.  Her internalization of the murder is so torturous for her that she feels like she can never wash away the stains.  This is how this scene proves Lady MaBeth's madness; since she cannot see that her hands are clean, she is unable to put the murder behind her and therefore cannot remove her terrible misdeads from her psyche."\n\nWhen you are putting quotations in a paper, just be sure to guide your reader through what the quotation means to your argument.  Never assume that your reader will just "get" your meaning; be sure you explain everything.

The best way to approach this is to list the prose and cones of both sides of the argument objectively.  Think of your self as a lawyer giving the closing statement to the jury.  The true trick to any essay is creativity (YOUR OWN CREATIVITY).  Close your eyes and imagine your self talking to your friends on the topic and you would be surprised at what comes out.  If that doesn't work than your SOL.

First, freewrite in order to expand and speculate on the author's ideas. \nDecide on your working thesis statement. \nSelect and prioritize the particular reactions you want to include. \nDecide on your organization and format (e.g., online or formal writing assignment). \nDraft your reaction paper. \nWrite your introduction and concluding paragraphs. \nRevise your final thesis statement and draft. \n\n•      Font Times New Roman.\n•      Size 12 not 14, 16, or larger.\n•      Two or three pages – minimum two pages.\n•      Use your spell/grammar check.\n•      Make sure the paper is in your words.\n•      It is surprising that profs are all-knowing.\n•      Do a draft or two – if you have a question – ask.\n•      Start early.\n•      Don’t wait to the last minute.
