Lesson 4 relection

In lesson 4 we learned a lot of things. Some major things we learned that I will need to know where:  how to format research papers in MLA format, how to cite sources, how to create citations, how to insert headers, headings, and many other things. Learning these things will be a big help to those who want to go to college or be successful in life. Through high school we will write many research papers and I have written some in the past that have been formatted incorrectly. Now that I know how to format my papers I will no longer make this mistake. Learning to cite our sources and create citations helps us to give credit to those who we got the information from, and not plagiarize. A major thing I learned was that a header and a heading are to majorly different things. The difference is that a header is where you insert your page number and last name. on the other hand when a heading is where you put your name, date, teachers name, and subject. To form a proper research paper it should always be in MLA format (12 pt. font, double spaced, times new roman, with a header, normal margins, and etc.)
