Each topic sentence supports the thesis statement.

The following is an example of a MLA in-text citation: “…beyond the horizon (Kennedy).”

Instead of procrastinating, we work on assignments ahead of time, which reduces our stress.

When you write an effective conclusion, you restate the thesis statement and summarize the body paragraphs of the essay.

When students revise their work, they focus on grammar and mechanics.

The following is an example of a run-on: Students in an online class should set aside two or three days a week to work on their assignments, if they do not set aside time, they may fall too far behind.

The two formats we used to write essays this semester are MLA and APA.

Submitting some of our assignments shows that we are practicing personal responsibility.
