What to do and what not to do. MLA Format What to do and what not to do.

General Format Paper must be typed on standard white paper. Text of paper must be double-spaced, including the heading. Margins are set at 1 inch for left, right, top, and bottom (older versions of Microsoft Word will set the margins at 1.25 inches for left and right – go in and reset manually). There must be a header on the right side that has the writer’s last name and the page number.

Heading and Title Name 1 Stephen Drew Mrs. Wishart ENG 102.401 30 October 2011 Edgar Allen Poe’s Manipulations in “The Cask of Amontillado” and “The Tell-Tale Heart” Edgar Allen Poe is renowned for his spooky tales and haunting plotlines. One of the reasons that his stories work so well is the manner in which Poe layers manipulation into his tales. Throughout his works, including “The Cask of Note: header to the right This is the correct order for information The title of published stories are in quotation marks, but not the title of the paper

In-Text Citations MLA uses parenthetical citation (information about the source inside parentheses). IF USING ONE BOOK FOR YOUR PAPER: “…sleep of the innocent.” (p.97) IF USING MULTIPLE BOOKS: “…72% of students were affected.” (Jones, 2001)

Remember! Work the citation into a sentence that contains some of your own words. Quotations should be integrated, not just dropped into the paper. Example: Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth, p263).

Make Your Life Easier For the purposes of this research paper, make sure that there is an author for all sources. If no author is listed and you want to use the source, see your instructor for assistance. The lack of an author most often occurs when using an Internet source. Avoid using any Internet source with an address ending in “.com” unless approved by your instructor.

Methods of Parenthetical Citation The following are examples from Purdue OWL: MLA Format: Is it possible that dreams may express “profound aspects of personality” (Foulkes 184)?

Citing Internet Sources You do not need to give paragraph numbers or page numbers based on your print preview. Do not list the URL address within the text of the paper. Instead, list the author of the source.

Works Cited Begins on a separate page and is labeled Words Cited (no italics or quotation marks). Double space, but do not skip spaces between entries. Indent the second and subsequent lines five spaces. List page numbers only when needed. Determine the Medium of Publication. Most will be print or web sources. Basic Format: Last name, First name. Title of Book. Place of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication. Medium of Publication. Work from an Anthology: Last name, First name. “Title of Story.” Title of Anthology. Ed. Editor’s Name. Place of Publication, Publisher, Year. Page range of entry. Medium. Work from a web source: Last name, First name. Title of Source. Name of Institution publishing the source. Date source was published. Web. Date you viewed source on the web.

Assistance with Works Cited The Burlington County Media Center has a license for “Noodle Tools.” This site will assist you in building a proper Works Cited page. Another site that is helpful in building a Works Cited page is “Easybib.” Use of these sites is not considered plagiarism; it is considered an excellent use of resources available in the information age.
