STYLE SHEET

Below are guidelines for formatting all essays, reports, stories, and other written assignments.  These guidelines apply for all courses at Raymond High School, unless otherwise specified by the teacher. It is expected that the student become familiar with this format early in their school career, and use it every time a student prepares a written assignment.

1.   All work, including homework assignments, should have a heading in the upper right corner with includes:

·         Students first and last name

·         Date

·         Class name and period

·         Assignment (i.e. Problems #1-10, pg. 323  OR Persuasive Essay)

 

2.   All written work, aside from homework, should be typed with the following guidelines:

·         Times New Roman font

·         12-point size font

·         Black ink

·         Double space

·         Standard margins (1” top and bottom; 1 1/2 “ sides)

·         White paper

3.   Work that is handwritten should be written in blue or black ink on white lined paper and should be neat in appearance, with no ragged or torn edges.

4.   Any written work that employs research or documentation must follow MLA documentation style.  Additionally, all students will be thoroughly informed on the subject of plagiarism during their 9^th grade year and will be expected to be familiar with, and responsible for, these concepts for the remainder of their Raymond High School career.
