3*
*This must be a print resource. However, you do not actually have to purchase it or check it out of the library.

Two

Use the notes you have taken from your selected resource to write a paragraph of at least six sentences that answers your research question. Make sure you are following the guidelines for ethical writing and giving credit to your sources. Include at least one direct quote from the resource in your paragraph.

Three

Double check your paragraph for proper internal citations.

Four

Write a properly formatted MLA works cited entry for the source or sources you have used to answer the research question.

Answer 2

MLA is an organization which publishes a style guide for publication. There are many other style guides, but they differ in detail, so you cannot use another one. You also probably do not want to get this guide yourself.

Fortunately there are many summaries available on the web. Just search on "MLA works cited" in a search engine. You will get many hits, but just go to one at a reputable university (to avoid scams).

Answer 3

OK Thanks.
