What is “MLA”?  Modern Language Association  Used in English and other humanities courses Sciences use APA (American Psychological Association)  Suggests writing style Puncutation Quotations Documentation

Mrs. Kuyper’s Big Rule for MLA  When researching and gathering information from outside sources (meaning not yourself), your paper must include: Citation for the published source Reference to author(s) IN THE TEXT of the paper as his/her idea is being presented

Common Terms Used in MLA  Citation: the information given to show publication information for each source used in your paper  Works cited: the alphabetized list of your citations found at the end of your paper  In-text citation: gives information (author, page number) in the text of the paper

More Common Terms in MLA  Signal phrase: describes the material being cited in a sentence of the paper. Page number is then listed in parenthesis at the end of the sentence. See p416  Parentheses phrase: is used if a signal phrase is not; cite the author’s last name and page number in parenthesis after the relevant sentence or statement. See p416

Works Cited in MLA  Open to page 423 in Rules for Writers  Basically, there is a citation model for EVERYTHING
