MLA CITATION • Why should we CITE sources in our texts? • 1. Research based evidence! • 2. Gets away from OPINION! • 3. Plagiarism if you use it and don’t cite. • What’s the difference between a Bibliography (or Work’s Cited) page and IN-TEXT citation? • A _________________________ is at the end of your paper and tells ALL of the WORKS you’ve used in your paper. • An __________________________ is IN your paper and notes the SOURCE you used within your writing.
Types of IN TEXT CITATIONS 1. Direct Quote (AWE) 2. Paraphrase
PARAPHRASE • A paraphrase is the: • ORIGINAL SOURCE • BUT written IN YOUR OWN WORDS • It is tricky because you might have the tendency to copy things directly. • Let’s paraphrase the following sentence: “The heart has secrets that the world knows nothing of; oftentimes we call a man cold when he is merely sad.” (From Tennyson’s Greatest Works page 12)
DIRECT QUOTATION • A direct quotation is: • AUTHOR’S WORDS EXACTLY. • Many times students do not build enough CONTEXT in order to support the use of AWE. • EXAMPLE: “Why do I write? Perhaps in order not to go mad” (Wiesel 65).
Practice! AWE with In-Text Citation • 1. “When you are in love you can’t fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams.” • From: Dr. Seuss page 8 of his book Love in the Seuss House • 2. “If you judge people, you have no time to love them.” • From : Mother Teresa (no book) • 3. “Being smart is better than being rich.” • From: Loius Lee on page 79 of the book Smart Guys Finish First
Practice PARAPHRASE with In-Text Citation • 4. “If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.” Jane Austen from Emma on page 7 • 5. “Falling in love is awfully simple, but falling out of love is simply awful.” Ron Howard from LOVE page 3.

Warrior Notes (put in your Mel-Con Tab in your binder) • In-Text Citations for Print Sources with Known Author • For Print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase (usually the author’s last name) and a page number. If you provide the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the parenthetical citation. • Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as "symbol-using animals" (3). • Human beings have been described as "symbol-using animals" (Burke 3). • “Why do I write? Perhaps in order not to go mad” (Wiesel 65).
Warrior Notes (put in your Mel-Con Tab in your binder) • In-Text Citations for Print Sources with No Known Author • When a source has no known author, use a shortened title of the work instead of an author name. Place the title in quotation marks if it's a short work (e.g. articles) or italicize it if it's a longer work (e.g. plays, books, television shows, entire websites) and provide a page number. • We see so many global warming hotspots in North America likely because this region has "more readily accessible climatic data and more comprehensive programs to monitor and study environmental change . . ." ("Impact of Global Warming" 6). • “The very first thing I tell my new students on the first day of a workshop is that good writing is about telling the truth”(“Getting Started” 3).
