Block Day, Part I, Week 7: MLA Format and Citations

* Vocabulary Unit 1 Quiz

* MLA Formatting - this is the last day that we can work together to make sure you have the tools necessary to format your THE appropriately. While formatting might seem almost more important to your teachers than your essay's content, rest assured that it is only penultimate. A proper MLA formatting job will allow your readers to take your essay seriously. Since sloppy or careless formatting often betrays sloppy thinking and writing, please take note of the following:

Block Day, Part II: Works Cited

Works Cited - Below we have example entries for your works cited. If you copy and paste them, you will likely have to edit the spacing to make it look right on your actual Works Cited. If, say, you used a different Bible edition (or it has a different year of publication) just adjust the entry accordingly. The information is generally per Pudue's OWL site, which is an excellent free source for your grammar needs. We recommend bookmarking the OWL site (or making it an app). Another way to make your entry is by using the Works Cited Page (generator). This may be very helpful for future research papers in other classes.
