REMEMBER: I will not accept paper copies of this essay. They must be emailed to my English Classes gmail address: mrs.wigg.english1@gmail.com.

Do not paste your document into the email you send! 

The formatting, which is considered in your grade, will go all wonky if you do. You must type your essay as a document in Word, Pages, Google Docs/Drive, etc., save it with your name on it (e.g., “Esmerelda Fluffenstuff Comparative Essay”) and attach it to an email to me. If you’re not sure how to do this, here is a link that I found that walks you through the process: How to Send an Email with an Attachment. While the video is a couple years old and most of your email screens won’t look exactly like this, the basic instructions are the same.
