MLA paper format.
Click the link below to purdue.edu, a website that we'll be using to re-format our research essays. MLA stands for "Modern Language Association" and is the generally accepted format for papers in all colleges and universities. Today, we'll be formatting our papers to meet MLA requirements. This will involve 3 steps:
1. Reformatting our text font, spacing, and our margins to MLA standards. (Examples in link)
2. Implementing the correct technique of citing quotes within text (parenthetical citation). If you have used any quotes, they need to be cited with "Parenthetical citation". Most of you been have been using quotes which is great! We just need to make sure they're properly cited to avoid plagiarism. If you haven't been using any quotes, I'm going to ask that you insert at least 2, and cite them, for this activity.
3. The creation of a "works-cited" page. This is simply an additional page on your essay that lists what sources you obtained your information from. Your works cited page has to contain at least 3 sources.
