DIRECTIONS: Choose any THREE questions that you want.
Choose ONLY THREE.
For EACH ONE you choose, write an essay of about TWO TO
THREE TYPED, DOUBLE-SPACED MLA STYLE PAGES. In
each case, pay close attention to the actual question. Your FINAL
PRODUCT SHOULD BE ABOUT SIX TO NINE PAGES IN TOTAL.
YOU MAY USE ONE MLA HEADING, AND THE TITLE CAN BE
MIDTERM EXAMINATION, AND PLEASE USE MLA PAGE
NUMBERING. [You may, of course, use an MLA heading for
each question if you prefer]. MLA STYLE REQUIRES
DOUBLE-SPACING THROUGHOUT.
NOTA BENE: SUBMIT THE ENTIRE TEST AT THE SAME TIME;
I DO NOT WANT PIECEMEAL WORK QUESTION BY
QUESTION–THAT WON’T BE ACCEPTABLE. SO, AGAIN,
PLEASE SUBMIT THE ENTIRE FINISHED PRODUCT AT THE
SAME TIME.
Choose THREE questions are the following three questions.
Remember, You may use any sources
you want to, including the textbook, the weekly lessons, the
class notes, the discussion board and your blog, the
suggested web-sites, along with anything else. But, please
note, if you USE ANYTHING THAT IS NOT PART OF OUR
CLASS, YOU MUST DISCLOSE IT, either via a parenthetical
MLA reference OR in a Works Cited Page–in which case you
could simply add a Works Cited page at the very end of your
finished product. REMEMBER TO USE AN MLA HEADING, A
TITLE WHICH CAN BE “MIDTERM EXAM,” AND USE MLA
PAGE NUMBERING.

3. Write an essay in which you pretend to be writing a review of
the web-site www.USConstitution.net for the education
section of your local newspaper. From the point of view of an
educator, explain the web-site’s features. Then, likewise
keeping the educator’s perspective, explain whether or not
you would recommend the web-site. If so, why and for what
levels? If not, why not? Be specific and USE EXAMPLES
DIRECTLY FROM THE WEB-SITE.
