Why MLA? Establish Credibility Opinions need Research “Universal” way of verifying Information

What does MLA Entail? In-Text Citation Three Main Parts Lead In/Signal Phrase Text Parenthetical Reference

Lead In Step One Introduces the text According to, In the document, Mrs. Chambers stated, etc. Examples In Harper Lee’s novel, Atticus tells Scout, “…. According to Mrs. Chambers, “… Ms. Rantis states, “… The opening line of Class Room Rules claims, “…

How to Format Text Step Two Punctuation Periods, semicolons, commas = AFTER the Parenthetical reference Question marks & Exclamation points in the physical text go INSIDE the quotations. Quotations go around the stated text. Regular Formatting = Four or less lines of prose Block Formatting = Four or more lines of prose Remove quotes Free standing block of text New Line, indented one inch Parenthetical Reference should come after the closing punctuation mark See OWL for more examples

Fill in the missing Punctuation Examples Fill in the missing Punctuation 1. According to Mrs. Chambers, Using the bathroom during class time unnecessarily is strictly prohibited! (Chambers 3) 2. In the article U-High Students Complain Over Bacon Shortage a student claims, This is insane, my burger is so boring (Rantis 5)

Answers According to Mrs. Chambers, “Using the bathroom during class time unnecessarily is strictly prohibited!” (Chambers 3). In the article, U-High Students Complain Over Bacon Shortage a student claims, “This is insane, my burger is so boring” (Rantis 5).

Parenthetical Reference Step 3 Signal Word/Phrase MUST refer to works cited. Page Numbers What if the author is unknown? What if I used the authors name in the lead-in? What if there are not page numbers?

Examples (Rantis 6). (18). No author? (“Impact on Global Warming” 6).

What Else does MLA Entail? Works Cited First word on the citation must match the parenthetical reference. Alphabetical Simple Header = Works Cited, centered. Hanging Indent Follows a Specific format.
