Item description
This is a general/summarized MLA (9th edition) writing guide. It was created to support students in working towards a number of different writing standards. It could be especially helpful for struggling writers. Because it is generalized, it covers a range of information about different aspects of MLA writing. It includes both information and example activities that students can work on for practice. This could be a great resource to have as a support for students at their desk as they are working on an essay prompt assignment. It could also be a useful packet to work with students on as you introduce essay writing skills to them. Additionally, it could be a tool towards general essay writing test prep, or a summer writing review resource.
