REQUIREMENTS
LENGTH
Minimum: 1,000 words
Maximum: 1,300 words
PARAGRAPHS
One Introduction Paragraph
3-4 Body Paragraphs
One Conclusion Paragraph
QUOTES FROM THE PLAY
There should be four to five quotes from the play in each body paragraph that are constructed using MLA Documentation rules, including signal phrases, quotes, and parenthetical citations.
WORK CITED
You’ll notice that both of the sample student essays have a Work Cited (or Works Cited for one of them). You’ll need one, too, since you’re quoting from a source (the play). The Sample Essay about Othello has just one entry, the play itself. You can use that as a model for your Work Cited (be sure to change the play title). The Sample Essay about Hamlet has several entries: this is because the student used quotes and some data in her introduction and conclusion, so she needed to indicate where she got those quotes and data.
