Format SPACING: Double-space throughout, including quotations and works cited! No extra spacing required (dead space). 1 space after a period or other concluding punctuation

Format (continued)… HEADING AND CENTER YOUR TITLE: NO TITLE PAGE in MLA format! Remember book titles are italized

When to Give Your Source… You must acknowledge in your paper the source of A direct quotation A statistic An idea Someone else’s opinion Source: Silverman, Jay, Elaine Hughes, and Diana Roberts Weinbroer. Rules of Thumb: A Guide for Writers. New York: McGraw Hill, 2002.

Paraphrasing and Summarizing You must still acknowledge your source if you… Paraphrase: Put someone else’s ideas into your own words Summarize: Condense someone else’s words or ideas

Parenthetical Citations …a system in which you give your source in parentheses immediately after you give the information. Four Common Citations: Author and page number Title and page number Page number only Secondhand quotations The first word of your citation match the corresponding entry on your Works Cited page!

Parenthetical Citations: Author & Page Number (Keeling 125) Notice there is no “p” and no comma. The struggle for identity is common during puberty (Keeling 125).

Parenthetical Citations: Title & Page Number Her distinctive writing style adds to her mystique (“Plath” 19). • Often, articles, editorials, pamphlets, and other materials have no author listed; thus, give the first distinctive word of the title followed by page #

Parenthetical Citations: Page Number Only If you have already mentioned the author’s name, put a page number only: Keeling states that Plath’s work stands in stark contrast to other confessional poets (58).

Parenthetical Citations: Secondhand Quotations When you quote someone who has been quoted in one of your sources, use: qtd. in = quoted in Evelyn Maxwell, author of numerous books about poetry, refers to Plath as the “queen of darkness” (qtd. in Keeling 99).

WORKS CITED List only those sources that you actually used. List the complete title of the article, essay, or book. Alphabetize your list by authors’ last names or the first main word in a title. Online sources usually follow the print format that is at the bottom of your library printout.
