Update on Short Essay Writing

Here are a few odds and ends that have come to my attention, relevant to your written work:

One student asked about how to cite Sayre in the body of the text; the following will suffice:

...(Sayre, p. #)

Thirdly, the following is the best site to consult, for those wishing to incorporate primary sources into their first short essay:
