1. MLA Goodness! Feraco Search for Human Potential 23 March 2011

2. Why Bother?  Formatting easily differentiates research from original thought  Allows me to double-check your studies  Standardizes papers across classes, especially in college  Different disciplines = different formats, so learn as many as you can!  Demonstrates care and attention to detail  Looks attractive, polished, and finalized

3. The Basics  Submit via turnitin.com and hard copy  Turnitin Due Date: April 15 th, 7:30am  Upload to “Senior Professional Project Paper”  Submit drafts constantly – turnitin.com will overwrite your old one, and you’ll be safe from viruses/crashes  MUST UPLOAD IN.DOC or.DOCX – NO EXCEPTIONS  If you don’t have Word, upload a properly- formatted copy of your paper from school  E-mail yourself the text and build the file in my room or in the library in advance – or go to a friend’s house  If you aren’t here on the 15 th, make appropriate plans to finish early

4. Starting Points  This goes into the “Conventions” part of your grade  Print your hard copies on white computer paper with black ink!  Create a cover page that includes a creative title for your research paper, your name, my name, your period and subject, and the due date – you may use color or images here  Times New Roman, 12-point font  Set your line-spacing to “Double” and your spacing to 0 pt on both “Before” and “After”

5. More Basics  Margins are 1” on all sides (the handouts I give you have.7” on all sides)  Page numbers should be a header a half-inch from the top in the upper- right hand corner, and include your last name (“Feraco 1”)  You should only hit the space bar once after each sentence. See? Not like this.  And definitely not like this.  Boo.  Indent each paragraph by hitting “Tab” once

6.  A parenthetical citation includes two parentheses, the author’s last name, and the page number  When the quote acts as the last part of your sentence, write the quote, follow it with the parenthetical, and finish with the end mark.  Orwell states that “everything is hopeless” (Orwell 6).  When the quote lies in the middle of your sentence, you still put the punctuation after your citation.  Orwell states that “everything is hopeless” (Orwell 6), but Winston’s experiences in the Prole Quarter contradict him.  If you’re citing the same work twice in a row, you don’t have to write the name again

7.  If you’re using multiple sources in the same sentence, you may combine the parentheticals: (Orwell 6; Fromm 315)  If there’s no obvious author, you may use a shortened version of the work’s title instead of the author’s last name  Do the same thing if you’re citing two works from the same author  Use the first initial and last name of authors if you’re citing different writers with the same last name: (M. Feraco 17) (D. Feraco 23)  Italicize the titles of longer works, and place the titles of songs, poems, films, articles, and other shorter pieces in quotation marks.

8.  If you’re citing an Internet resource, it’s probably a scholarly journal  If it is, the last name/page number still applies  If it’s not, use the author’s last name  If you’re citing a religious text, cite whatever is appropriate – version, book, chapter, verse, etc.  Ezekiel saw "what seemed to be four living creatures," each with faces of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle (New Jerusalem Bible, Ezek. 1.5-10).

9.  For quotes that are longer than three full lines of your page, you’ll use a block quote  The entire block quote is indented one inch (two Tabs) from the left margin, and is still double-spaced  You don’t use quotation marks, and you put your citation after the period  If you’re cutting words out of a quote (especially in a block quote), use … (an ellipsis) to show that you’ve made the change

10. Works Cited  You still have a page number on your separate Works Cited page – although this does not count towards your page limit  Center the title of the page on the first line  Double-space all citations here, and do not hit “Enter” between citations  Indent the second and third lines of citations by a half-inch (just like a paragraph)  Appropriately capitalize your titles (The Art of War)

11.  An author’s name is listed Last, First Middle  When listing your citations, alphabetize them by last name  If citing multiple works by the same author, substitute three hyphens for the name the second time  After writing the author’s name, place a period after the name and the work’s title  Lee, Harper. To Kill a Mockingbird.

12.  Books: Last, First. Title of Book. Place of Publication: Publisher, Year Published. Print.  If more than one author, then the format includes: Last, First and First Last.  If more than two authors, then the format includes: Last, First, et al.  Corporations, firms, and foundations count as authors  If you’re citing an article from a reference book, the format is: “Article.” Name of Book.
