On top of that remember this paper needs to be in MLA format, complete with the proper heading/font/spacing/ and formatted Works Cited Page. 1000 words. That’s about 4 typed pages with a 5th page being the Work Cited. You shouldn’t worry about Word Cited as much as fully explaining your content. A good 950 word paper can say more than a bad 1500 word paper. Also remember that you need to have about 5 credible/academic sources. Internet source may NOT be used unless approved by teacher. A paper that is comprised of too many internet sources risks a lower grade.
