Presentation transcript:

MLA

General Guidelines The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends on: Source (Print, Web, DVD) Source’s entry in the Works Cited Any in-text citation you provide must coincide with the information on your Works Cited page 1st word used for in-text citation should be 1st word used in the Works Cited reference

Author-Page Style Author, then page # should be in parenthesis Exception: If you state author’s name in sentence prior to parenthesis, page number alone will suffice Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (263). Romantic poetry is characterized by the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (Wordsworth 263).

WWW Guidelines Include in the text the first item that wil appear for the source in the Works Cited You do not need to give paragraph numbers of page numbers based on your “Print Preview” function Do not include URL’s in-text, only provide partial URL’s

WWW If there is no author on the website, use an abbreviated title of the website in the parenthesis. The Gerber Baby Food company notes that for the first three to five days of breast feeding, a woman's body "will produce a substance called colostrum. This thick, yellowy substance is a milk rich in antibodies . . ." ("Newborn Feeding").

Quotations Short Quote: fewer than four typed lines According to some, dreams express "profound aspects of personality" (Foulkes 184), though others disagree. According to Foulkes's study, dreams may express "profound aspects of personality" (184).

Quotations Long Quote: more than four typed lines Place quote in free-standing block of text and omit the quotation marks Start quotation on a new line Indent entire quotation 1” Maintain double spacing

ie. Nelly Dean treats Heathcliff poorly and dehumanizes him throughout her narration: They entirely refused to have it in bed with them, or even in their room, and I had no more sense, so, I put it on the landing of the stairs, hoping it would be gone on the morrow. By chance, or else attracted by hearing his voice, it crept to Mr. Earnshaw's door, and there he found it on quitting his chamber. Inquiries were made as to how it got there; I was obliged to confess, and in recompense for my cowardice and inhumanity was sent out of the house. (Bronte 78)
