For this round of peer review, I chose to be partners with Brooke. We decided to go along and reference back to the previous guidelines that we had used for the last essay.

Now that I have looked through the Little Seagull book, I will be able to use MLA format more regularly in my essays. An example would be adding page numbers along with a header on each page.
