My Name Assignment (AP class)

Now that we have read the excerpt titled "My Name" and you peer edited in class it is time to type up your final draft.

Here is the format I want you to follow:

1. Heading in the upper-left hand corner (include name, Mrs. Manfra, class, and date)
2. You can create your own title or use "My Name" title
3. Double space
4. 12 point font (nothing fancy, stick to a font like Times New Roman)

Where I'm From Assignment

Here are the details for the format of your final draft:

1. Heading:  Name, Date, Period in the upper right corner
2. You can make your own title or use Where I'm From
3. Use 12 point font (please stay away from fancy font; Times New Roman or Arial is fine)
4. Only space between your stanzas
5. Use left alignment (do not center the poem)
6. You can include a picture if you want.

Bring your final draft typed to class.
If you have an issue printing it be resourceful and find someone who can print it for you.
Any other questions or clarifications email me at cmanfra@dadeschools.net
