I picked 'Roman art in the first century'. Getting ideas on how to write this essay?

Hi, I'm new to college essays and need some help.
Teacher gave us a list of topics. I picked 'Roman art in the first century'
Now I went and found about 8 sources (some books, a Jstor discussion of art, and an Internet museum site)
So I have a good amount of sources.

What I'm not good at is the MLA method of citation.
Would anyone give me a sample essay on something, anything to allow me to use as a template?
I could do this 5 page thing, but with MLA I'm just not understanding exactly how to proceed.

Thanks!

Hey!.. I had to write an essay once in MLA format. Although I am not sure where my file is, I can help you with a link that was very valuable to me. It shows you how to prepare your paper into MLA format using Word 2007/2010. In the end, once you learn how to use Word with the techniques shown there, you have it easy. It even makes your bibliography!
