Style Guide

From Rsgc Library

Students at Royal St. George's College are expected to master a variety of writing styles to suit different academic disciplines. Specific style demands vary from subject to subject, so students should pay careful attention to information provided in each class.

Grade 9 students are expected to purchase The Canadian Practical Stylist, 4th edition, for use in their English course. That style guide provides a citation style similar to the Modern Language Association Style, and should be considered the standard RSGC style unless otherwise specified. Details on citation can be found on pages 340 - 345.

Below are some samples of common citations using the MLA style:
