Today! MLA!
NOTE: THIS ASSIGNMENT WILL BE MORE DIFFICULT TO FINISH IN THE ALLOTTED TIME. GET STARTED IMMEDIATELY AND STAY FOCUSED.
The MLA Style Manual "is an academic style guide widely used in the United States, Canada, and other countries, providing guidelines for writing and documentation of research in the humanities, especially in English studies"1.
In other words, you'll be using this a lot in school --- high school, college . . . .
And so today we're going to work on two things:
- 1. What an MLA-formated paper looks like.
2. What your entries on your Works Cited page will look like.
