27. MLA Documentation: The Essentials • Double spaced (your software may be defaulted to something different; be sure you change it!) • 12 pt. Times New Roman • One-inch margins all around (including top and bottom) • Do not use a title page • Your first and last name, date, and assignment title in the top left corner (NOT as a header)

28. MLA citation continued • Your last name and the page number AS A HEADER in the top right corner of every page EXCEPT the Works Cited page. • The title of the piece centered as the first line of the work • DO NOT skip lines between your name and the title of the piece, or between the title and the first line of the first paragraph. • Note: it is your responsibility to use this formatting, regardless of the type of computer or software you have.

29. Citing • Every time you use information you found from a source (something you didn’t know if before you started researching), you must have a parenthetical or in-text citation. • This is the case whether you rephrase the words or use them word for word! • Providing information that you didn’t come up with without citation is plagiarism. • A parenthetical citation usually identifies the author and page number from which you got the information • (Smith 52)

30. In-text Citing • In-text citations refer to the author (and often the title of the source) in the text of your paper, so you don’t have to use a parenthetical citation except to identify a page number, if applicable. • In his book Cocker Spaniels, Dr. James Morrison explains that cockers often hide their toys in order to trick their owners into thinking they don’t have any, thus increasing the chances that they will receive new ones (52).

31. Citing • Every source used in your paper must have a Works Cited entry on the Works Cited page. • Every Works Cited entry in your paper must have at least one citation in your paper. In other words, you muse use all of the sources listed in your Works Cited page. • Your Works Cited page is double-spaced with one-inch margins. • Do not skip lines between entries. • Do not include the page number or your name on the Works Cited page. • The words “Works Cited” should appear centered at the top of your page.

32. Formatting Citations and Works Cited Entries • The format for citations and works-cited entries varies depending on the type of source. • See the “MLA Cheat Sheet,” the Purdue University OWL, or Easybib.com for more information on formatting citations for different types of sources. • Note: Easybib.com is a great resource! (I wish I’d had it when I was writing research papers). However, YOU are responsible for correctly citing sources, even if Easybib.com tells you something different. • When you use Easybib, vertical lines will be included in the Works Cited entry. YOU MUST REMOVE THESE LINES MANUALLY!

33. Book Citation: Practice • Read the following excerpt from George Orwell’s 1984. It appears on pg. 20. Take a quote from this excerpt and provide a parenthetical citation to go with it. • As he put his hand on the doorknob Winston saw that he had left the diary open on the table. DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER was written all over it, in letters almost big enough to be legible across the room. It was an inconceivably stupid thing to have done. But, he realized, even in his panic he had not wanted to smudge the creamy paper by shutting the book while the ink was wet.

34. Orwell says that Winston “[s]aw . . . left the diary open on the table” (Orwell 20). • When he came home “Winston saw that he had left the diary open on the table” (Orwell 20). • Winston is a man, and “[he] saw that he had left the diary open on the table,” and then he ate a sandwich (Orwell 20).

35. Winston realized early on that “[he] realized it was an inconceivably stupid thing to have done ” (Orwell 20), and he shouldn’t have done that.
