My paper is on a primary source document, "Inside a Nazi Death Camp." My teacher requires us to expand from the document and also requires us to write the paper in MLA format, it is 2 pages long and needs a sentence on the third page to insure it is a full two pages. I will attach all instruction and guidelines below

US History II – Primary Source Documents Reading List – Fall 2018 The following are the primary source documents that you’ll be assigned to read during the semester. Make sure you’ve read the instructions, posted separately, so you know what to do and when the papers are due. You must write at least 2 full pages (plus one line onto another page) of research plus the works cited page. I do count lines if you’re short or only get to 2 pages by not following the requirements. Quality are quantity are both important. Remember to proofread your work! Don’t use the way I'm listing these as the way you list them. I'm merely making a list. Make sure you find the proper names, dates, formats, etc. for your papers. If any of the websites on this list give any type of overview, background info, or summary, you can’t use that information or the paper will receive a lower or failing grade (even if cited correctly). Find that info elsewhere if you really want to use it. Remember, NEVER use Wikipedia or any encyclopedias, online or otherwise or you risk failing the assignment. If a document has multiple numbered or listed sections, don’t translate/explain each part or you’ll lose points. Summarize only the major parts or ideas (exception: cover each of the freedoms in the Four Freedoms speech). Chapter 25: Four Freedoms Speech, 1941 – Author: Franklin Delano Roosevelt. This is a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnrZUHcpoNA (video: 2nd half of the speech) http://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?doc=70&page=transcript (text of entire speech) The following are most of the ways you can lose points on your primary source document analysis papers. You can fail on requirements alone. Don't freak out as you read the long list. Better you know the ways you can lose points so you can go back and make sure you meet the requirements than to have no idea how or where you can lose points. It's not hard to meet the basic requirements. If it was, the requirements would have changed long ago. Obviously, as with any paper, you can lose points for content. What's listed here is just what's lost due to requirement issues. If in doubt, ask me. The first two sections are worth a full grade each. The last section is worth a full grade plus a third of another grade. If it doesn't flow as a paper, up to a third of a grade off. If you don't have in text citations, that's a deduction of two full grades (assuming I don't think you purposely plagiarized). If you only cite quotes, it's a full grade off (but it can be more in rare cases). Lack of a works cited page is a deduction of two full grades (having in text citations is not enough, all sources used in your paper must be listed in your works cited page). For each source shy of the required number, it's one full grade off. Forgetting to list the document in the works cited page is one third of a grade off. Messing up the formatting of the works cited page is up to a full grade off. Use of encyclopedias will result in failing grades. NEVER use Wikipedia for anything academic that you have to submit to a professor! If you use Wikipedia, but don't list it, but I find you did (it's easy to search), you'll fail the paper just as if I had realized it immediately. If you got a paper graded but I realize later you used Wikipedia, or another encyclopedia, the paper will retroactively get a failing grade. Make sure your sources are academic. Avoid entertainment sites (point deductions for that only happen if you use them multiple times in your paper and then it's up to a full grade). The academic databases are great source to you. You can access them via the college's library and its website. Good databases are JStore and Ebscohost, though there are many other good ones. You may wish to contact the library to find out what they have and what you can access. If you're shy of 2 full pages of research, the deduction is 2/3 of a grade for each quarter page. I round, so say you're a line shy, that'd be graded as if being a quarter page shy. I do count lines. This way there's no question what you need, at least 2 full pages (more is better) plus the works cited page. Using a different font size or type will result in additional points off. Remember that it's Times New Roman and a font size of 12 (unless I tell you otherwise, like cover pages, while not required, can be larger). Even if points are lost for not having the correct format, I may still ask for an electronic copy to ensure the page length is met with the correct formatting or if I already have an electronic copy will adjust the formatting myself and will deduct points based on how short of two full pages the paper is with the correct formatting. I can't tell you formally how many quotes to use, or if you even need to use any at all. What I can tell you is that too many quotes may result in my not counting them towards the page length requirement. I want to see your words, not someone else's. I've seen papers where more than half a page of quotes was used in total. That's way too much! Paraphrase if you want to use a lot of quotes. Quotes really should be kept to a bare minimum. There are definitely times they're needed, but you can do a lot more with paraphrasing in a short paper than you can with lots of quotes. Just make sure that even when paraphrasing, you're not just including something to fill space. Everything in your paper should have a purpose. Plagiarism will result in a failing grade on the paper and possibly for the entire course (and, as required by the college, I'll have to report you to the college for possibly further disciplinary action). Copying directly from websites or any sources is plagiarism as is copying from the textbook or another person. Don't copy from or submit anything from a paper you used in another class, even if the information is similar. If you do wish to include something but are unsure if it's plagiarism or if it's allowed, feel free to me. PROOFREAD YOUR PAPERS! I should get your third draft at the earliest. Don't submit to me your first draft. They usually have lots of issues. If there's a lot of proofreading issues, I'll write on the paper I'm not correcting them all but I see them and you'll still lose credit for them. Normally, I take up to a full grade off for grammar issues. But if it's so difficult to follow I have no idea what you're trying to say, you risk losing more or having me just return it unread. Also, while not perfect, spell check and grammar check are your friends. Use them. In Microsoft Word, I'm told there's a way to have plug in all the information and have it do the works cited page for you. There’s no way for me to know if you do this so all I can say is that if you choose to do this you may find you don’t learn the correct format for a works cited page which is something you should know.

I attached all the instructions and guidelines in document form so it would be better understood! My paper is on the second links attached to Chapter 25! Thank you again
