MLA formatting feedback on the Lesson 2.06
Hey, awesome English for students. This is misses Terrell and I'm glad that you're back to check out how to specifically cite your sources in proper MLA format. And so for lesson two O 6 in module two, you are creating an annotated bibliography. A few things I'm now on page 5, this is the last page of lesson two O 6 and they provided a sample. So remember, your annotated bibliography should look just like this, except you'll have 8 sources instead of just four. You'll have the source listed in MLA format. And then a key use statement right now right underneath it. And now each of the sources is an alphabetical order. So for the sake of this short clip, I just want to take you down to the MLA formatting guides.
We provide a great guide for you. If you just click on the orange link and different guides first lighting, either a book, a magazine, a website, the U.S. Constitution or a court case. Feel free to use that awesome source. But a really easy way to also create the citations for your sources is to head to easy bid dot com or son of citation machine. And so I want to show you easy bib. And it's just like it says it's creating a bibliography and a really short and easy way. So most of our sources come from websites, but they do have other options. If you have a book laying around at home from maybe an old class, you can click on book, and then you would type the title of the book.
Perhaps you viewed a video or a film recently or a journal, maybe it's even from a database. But I'm going to go ahead and stick with website since most again as online students are sources a lot of times come from websites. And so a little bit earlier, I pulled up a website on landmark cases for the First Amendment. And this in particular is about the schnack versus U.S. landmark case. It's probably looks familiar to a lot of my students focusing on the First Amendment for your informative essay. But let's go ahead and get this awesome source into proper MLA format. So as you know, we go to the easy bib website and there is the option to go ahead and copy and paste the link to the website and you just can kind of go back to your original source. Press copy and go ahead and paste. And then click the orange box where it says site it. It will then populate and let you know what they found. They have the title of the website.
The publisher and the date that it was accessed. In this case, it's today. But other things that you might want to enter if you have this information, it's the title of the article. When it was electronically published in any authors. So I know one thing that we can definitely find would be the title of this article. And so I'll go back to the original source and in the sense that it happens to be snack versus U.S.. So in the date, I'm going to go ahead and copy and paste that because that's important for us. I think in our actual MLA format, you include the title since we have that info, let's go ahead and do that. If you knew of any other contributors, sometimes if you look at the website, it will list it. And I did earlier look, and I actually didn't see any actual specific contributing members. I also did not find when it was electronically published.
Sometimes if you scroll down to the bottom of the original source that will provide that information, this particular source did not. And then you just press create citation, you can close your eyes, open your eyes, and then you'll see the source listed in proper MLA format, which is awesome. So I would suggest just copying, highlighting the source and pasting it onto a word document and start your list of MLI formatted sources in your Microsoft Word document. All right, awesome, guys. Please reach out if you have any questions about easy bib, son of citation or properly Emily probably formatting your sources into MLA. Thanks, have a great day.
