When you submit your final papers to Canvas this week, please make sure to have everything in one document in the following order:
1. Final Outline
2. Final Paper
3. Final Works Cited
I would also strongly suggest saving the document as a pdf on your desktop first and then upload it to Canvas. This way the upload won't change your format. I can only grade it the way it looks in Canvas, so a pdf is the best way to ensure your hanging indents, photos and captions, etc. don't move (check the pdf to make sure it looks the way you want it to before uploading it, also).
Let me know if you have questions :)
