MLA Essay Format; Begin Red Sky at Morning

I posted some incorrectly and correctly formatted essays on the board to show students what MLA format looks like, since I saw so many variations in the Fahrenheit 451 essays I'm grading. I also instructed students about serif versus sans serif fonts (MLA requires a serif font because it shows greater contrast with italics), using italics for book titles, and placing the header and page number inside the margin of the document. Students signed out copies of Richard Bradford's Red Sky at Morning and began reading Chapter One. We discussed our snarky narrator/protagonist, Josh Arnold, and his sarcastic internal comments about everyone at his dinner table.
Homework: Red Sky: Read Chapter 1
