2: Bibliography Guide to Cite Sources - Fill in the Blank Template - MLA 9th Ed

*Updated in 2023 to include the latest changes from the 9th edition of the MLA Handbook.*

These fill-in-the-blank MLA-style bibliography sheets make citing sources for bibliographies a breeze for those learning how to write research papers!

This 2-sided Bibliography Cloze Sheet will help your students find the correct information they need to cite their sources.

Includes space for three books (one author, two authors, and three or more authors), a magazine, an encyclopedia, two websites, and a personal interview.

They find the information and plug it in! Simple!

You can use a page as a lesson by itself, in a Scavenger Hunt fashion, where they find a reference source for each box and locate the needed information (title, copyright date, etc.)

Or put them in their research folders so they can plug in the source information as they conduct their research projects.
