The final draft of your essay should be at least 3 full pages (no more than 5 pages) in length and conform to basic MLA formatting (1-inch margins, 12-point font, double spaced). Ideally, your paper should be revised to incorporate the various feedback you have received. You will need to submit your work as either a Word document (.doc or .docx) or PDF. You can type your essay in Google Docs, but you’ll need to save it as a Word document or PDF. No other formats will be accepted.
