JULIUS CAESER PAPER REVISIONS AND RULES FOR ALL PAPERS

Dear students,


All your papers should follow standard formatting of Times New Roman 12 pt size font, double-spaced, and about 1" margins. You should have page numbers and an original title as well. Anything else will result in points taken off.


Overall, the play reviews were excellently critical and honest. For your final draft, be sure to not only fix the formatting but also add evidence for your opinions. Use quotes if possible. Also, limit your plot summary. Don't give away the whole plot.


Best,


Mr. Larkins
