In case you've ever found yourself asking what might detract from that A paper, here's a quick reminder of some common formatting requirements that you might overlook:
1) An MLA Works Cited page
2) MLA in-text citations
3) 600-750 words
4) Double-spaced
5) Stapled
6) 5 paragraphs (Minimum. This is a guideline.)
7) Has a strong thesis (Remember, think of this as what you're saying in response to what "they say" (whoever "they" is))
8) Handed in on time
9) Fulfills the assignment
-answers the question fully
-doesn't flagrantly wander off topic/turn into a paper whose aim is completely foreign to the actual assignment
