ESSENTIAL QUESTION: Why is it important to use MLA formatting to cite another’s work?

OBJECTIVE:

MLA FORMATTING MLA (Modern Language Association) style is most commonly used to write papers and cite sources within the liberal arts and humanities. MLA is one of 2-3 styles used in high school and college. WHAT IS IT?

MLA FORMATTING To avoid PLAGIARISM and give credit where credit is due! To gain credibility and the reader’s trust To make it easy for the reader of your paper to find information on your topic WHY DO WE NEED TO DO IT?

MLA FORMATTING Another person's idea, opinion, or theory. Any facts, statistics, graphs, drawings-any pieces of information-that are not common knowledge. Quotations of another person's actual spoken or written words. Paraphrases of another person's spoken or written words WHEN DO WE NEED TO DO IT?

MLA FORMATTING When using MLA format, you need to be sure to cite in two places: 1. In text using parenthetical citations. 2. At the end of your paper on a works cited page (bibliography) HOW DO WE DO IT?

MLA FORMATTING The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1.) upon the source medium (e.g. Print, e- reader, Web) and (2.) upon the source’s entry on the Works Cited page. All parenthetical citations must come at the end of the cited material. PARENTHETICAL CITATIONS
