ROUND 1: BASIC FORMATTING

You will work in your peer review groups to create PowerPoint-style presentations that demonstrate how to FORMAT documents in correct MLA style.

You’ll present your work at the end of the class.

Your MLA Idol judges will rate your presentations on:

Correctness Clarity Style

There are prizes.

ROUND 1: BASIC FORMATTING

You’ll work inside MSU Google Docs (in the “MLA Activity” folder) for easier sharing and presenting.

Use your McGrawHill Handbook to help you.

Each group will have a different formatting task/feature to demonstrate.

Groups 1, 2, 3: How do I change my document margins so they are correct?

Groups 4, 5, 6: What is the correct first page heading?

Groups 7, 8, 9: How do I correctly insert page numbers?

ROUND 1: BASIC FORMATTING

Guidelines: MAXIMUM of 3 slides. Demonstrate the steps you have to take to

do certain things (i.e. what menus and such do you have to use in Microsoft Word?)

Use screen captures as visual aids. Put your names on the presentations. Save your presentations as

“Group#Presentation”

WRAP-UP

Your homework will be to peer review the other individual in your group so that everyone has been reviewed by everyone else. Then you’ll write a blog post about it. Check the schedule later today for updates.

I’ll review everyone’s rough drafts and give general feedback in a video on Friday.

Repeat after me: I NOW HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR INCORRECT DOCUMENT FORMATTING!!!

Thank you Ana! Seacrest out!
