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 grade to grade and teacher to teacher, 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:
