Presentation transcript:

Making Sense of MLA Format Proper citation & styling for the study of English

Why do I have to do this? Once upon a time in a boring land far, far away, the Powers That Be gathered atop Mount Finicky to decide how each academic discipline would cite its sources. Some disciplines, like history and psychology, chose footnoting. English, however, felt it was too special for footnotes. It selected MLA format and the Powers that Be declared that all those who study English must cite using MLA format

The Internet has Information! Facebook, Twitter, LOLcats, hilarious Fail blog videos…actual information?? Stuck? Google “MLA format” No excuse for inaccuracies

Part One Titles and 1st Page

A good title is interesting AND informative NOT “Poe Essay” or “Essay “ Try a two-parter title  interest catcher: informative piece “Death Becomes Her: A Psychological Examination of Lady MacBeth’s Homicidal Tendencies

First Page of Essay

Part Two Works Cited

Works Cited Works cited = work is CITED (quoted) in the essay

Citing a Short Story found Online Author’s last name, First name. "Short story name" Website name. Publisher, date of electronic publication. Date accessed. URL (optional).

Example: “The Black Cat” Poe, Edgar Allan. “The Black Cat.” PoeStories.com. Design 215 Inc., 2005. September, 2014.
